All-American: Venus & Serena
Witness Docs presents All-American, a series that zeroes in on sports icons to find out what their stories can tell us about America itself. Season 1 focused on the many chapters of world-famous golfer Tiger Woods: a phenom's rise, a shocking fall from grace, and debatably the greatest sports comeback of all time. Host and producers Jordan Bell and journalist Albert Chen revisit Tiger's journey to find out what the media got right, and what it didn't. Season 2 focuses on Venus and Serena Williams. Hosted by veteran journalist Cecil Harris, the story reveals ugly truths about how America often scorns and resists Black excellence.

Season 1 was very interesting, easy to listen to and enjoyable. Season 2 on the other hand sounds like an actual robot is reading the script. I honestly couldn’t figure out for the first half of episode 1 if they were having an AI read the script as a bit, but no. The guy is just not great at voice acting/story telling

"Venus & Serena" insightful storytelling

So interesting to learn about Venus and Serena from Cecil Harris, a journalist/writer who followed the sisters for their entire pro careers— from their earliest days, when tennis fans were slow to embrace two Black sisters. I enjoyed learning about their mom Oracene Price for the first time also. The host is good at focusing on the broader/deeper context around their success on the courts (e.g. the specific challenges of their race, and specific strengths of the parenting and coaching in their family unit).
Good podcast

Good subject but stop with the annoying and fake laughter. Also commentary is obviously scripted, making it sound like impromptu conversation is annoying as well.
