Customer Reviews
Who’s Andrew?
Not sure who Andrew is either. I plead AutoCorrect. But I can assure Mr. Kane that the the Alex & David team has many fans as they have become the Laurel & Hardy, Burns & Allen, perhaps Butch & Sundance of our time.
Women’s coverage — FINALLY!
long time listener and fan of the pod, but have always been disappointed by the lack of coverage on the women’s side. so stoked to FINALLY be hearing some very solid content about the women. super excited about your new contributor (@JTweetsTennis) — thought his first ep was fabulous, can’t wait to hear more!!
Love this but…
All good stuff
Alex… during interviews, pleas keep the mic the same distance from your face.
Thanks a ton!!
Great, and unique content
