Tennis Weekly Podcast

Tennis Weekly was set up in 2018 to deliver a by fans for fans podcast to the tennis community. Thanks to our wonderful listeners and their crowdfund support we have been able to cover 6 tennis seasons of tennis, produce 390 episodes and the podcast has grown from strength to strength each year.

It’s this support that allows us to remain independent and keep Tennis Weekly a labour of love hosted and run by three friends Joel, Kim and Chris, who enjoy nothing more than talking tennis every Monday and spend every minute outside of our day jobs improving (researching) and growing the podcast so we can deliver the best podcast experience we can.

It’s been an incredible year for the podcast thanks to our listeners and the wider TW team that help us do what we do. In the last 12 months the podcast and our passionate Tennis Weekly team has grown a lot: Chris has joined the podcast full time, we were lucky enough to attend ATP, WTA and ITF tournaments as media accredited journalists (with help from volunteer producer Alina), we’ve put your questions to top players such as Andy Murray (Joel still can’t believe it), Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud and we have had a complete overhaul to our visuals and social channels (thanks to our pro bono designer Christoffer who has spent numerous hours each week designing our wonderful visuals throughout the year).

However, improving and running the podcast comes at a significant cost. The podcast is not run for profit with sponsorship money being reinvested into covering the growing costs of podcasting including improving our tech capabilities, sound systems, the licenses for the software we use to record, our website and social media fees and where we can support travel, accommodation and attending tournaments so we can give our listeners the ultimate fan insight into life on tour. It’s these costs and expenditures that make our annual crowdfunder so important in enabling us to keep running the podcast without too great of a negative balance sheet at the end of each year.

All of us at Tennis Weekly absolutely love producing the podcast for our listeners and your crowdfund support helps us to keep recording but also to keep improving and evolving our offering. For this reason any support no matter how large or small is hugely appreciated, from listening to donating we couldn’t be more thankful to our audience!

We hope you have a very happy and healthy Holiday season and we will see you in 2024 for another exciting season with Tennis Weekly at your side!

Joel, Kim and Chris
