Nice Point Podcast
Wait...should you start paying attention to tennis? This game has teenagers and icons and travels strictly to the most idyllic destinations around the world. It involves money, psychology, celebrity, and meteorology. It's got Ben Shelton, Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka, and Emma Raducanu. (It is the BEST women's sport.) On Nice Point we hang out and talk histories, narratives, and gossip. We pick favorites and heels. We make informed predictions (and bad bets). Pop in some earbuds and hang out with us. Episodes Mondays from the Australian Open through the US Open,
