Tennis Insider Club with Caro Garcia

The Jim Courier episode was the best!

I like this podcast a lot but I'm sick of my feed getting clogged up by old episodes getting re released. We already listened the first time guys. If you don't have a new episode that's fine but no need to pretend to by using an old one again. Otherwise I agree with others that the conversations are good but Borja interrupts too much and often seems to try to put words in the guest's mouth instead of letting them speak for themselves.

Duran talks too often without adding substantive value. He repeats what players are saying but we want to hear the players, not him. There are episodes where Caro and the guest are gelling on a topic and Duran jumps in and derails the flow. He also makes a point of using profanity, maybe to try to build more credibility and connect in a more meaningful way with guests, because he doesn’t have the credentials. It comes across as someone trying too hard but the main issue here is that it will unnecessarily limit the reach of the podcast. Younger listeners want to hear more about these players and their experiences. Profanity adds no value for listeners. Also, fix the sound editing! Some speakers are too quiet and too loud in the same podcast.

The audience is really keen to listen to the guest, but Duran always interrupts and is overeager to offer his own insights. On the other hand, Caro is great. She listens to the guest, is patient, and intervenes with relevant personal anecdotes.
