love thirty
16 episodes Last Updated: Sep 14, 23
In "love thirty" Alden and Roger talk all things tennis and tennis pop culture. Mostly we are thirsty for the tea and search to expose gossip and drama in the tennis world. With jest and enthusiasm we analyze and speculate on the players at the top of the tennis game while really just wishing we could be them. You don't have to be a tennis hardo to enjoy this pod so join us as we attempt to escape ourselves and the cringe-ness that is our early thirties.
