    HUNKY PIRATES AHOY

    2026/04/27 | 39 mins.
    Join Pinder Award-winning comedian Lizzy Hoo, as she passes judgement on fellow comedian Mike Goldstein's deplorable on-court behaviour. The guys also dig into the fallout from Flavio Cobolli telling his girlfriend she is not welcome back to his games, and question why no one has yet noticed that giant American Patrick Kypson resembles a hunky pirate. Oh, and did you see that photo of Trump standing in front of the Georgia women's team? Yes, we go there... then seamless pivot to shining a spotlight on Nick Kyrgios's bald head (not literally - though that is a cool segment idea). There's also a prize giveaway: first to email in wins Craig Tiley's haemorrhoid ring!

    MONTE CARLO INSANE WINNRS

    2026/04/18 | 40 mins.
    Join comedians and tennis-loving freaks Mike Goldstein, Lizzy Hoo and Sam Taunton as they slice up the week's tennis. The guys have - quite understandably - lost their minds at the year's first matchup of Sinner v Alcaraz in the Monte Carlo final. We also marvel at the ferocious tennis racquet-smashing abilities of Daniil Medvedev. Man, that guy can really mangle a Tecnifibre! Oh, and the gang once again takes extreme pleasure in exposing fellow comedian Dave Hughes as a complete tennis fraud. We thank you for listening, and - just like Mirra Andreeva would - we also thank ourselves. You're welcome!

    IT AIN'T STOSUR 'TIL IT'S STOSUR

    2026/04/08 | 34 mins.
    OMG, the humanity! Mike and Sam become quivering wrecks in the presence of Aussie tennis greatness. In this very special edition of Pod Laver Arena, they talk to the heroic captain of Australia's Billie Jean King Cup team — none other than Samantha Stosur! Watch in awe, as Sam moves from genuine pity of our hosts to a general acceptance of their vapid buffoonery. The former world #4 spills all the beans on the upcoming BJK Cup clash and reveals whether local hero, Talia Gibson will embrace the nickname 'Gibbo' (can confirm it's no, no she will not). Oh, and Sam also harks back to the time she kicked Serena Williams' ass in the US Open final. Solid, solid memories. Cram it in your ears!

    BADDIES AND BALL DADDIES

    2026/04/03 | 40 mins.
    What happens in Miami... is up for full and frank discussion! Such as: why did Coco Gauff wear a hat? Also, in this bombastic episode, host Lizzy Hoo reveals that Monte Carlo — the place — is actually, a sh*thole. Hot take, Lizzy! We marvel at the tennis-themed wizardry of Jannik Sinner, and dive headfirst into the murky world of 'ball daddies' (fully grown ball kids). What we find will shock you. We also discuss Dr Rafael Nadal's impressive cloak, and chat in-studio to American gun, Jessica 'the JPEG' Pegula. Cancel your plans, stay in, and listen to this! You can use the skip forward 15 seconds feature to avoid Mike's Anagrams — he understands.

    LAUGH EMOJI LAUGH EMOJI

    2026/03/26 | 49 mins.
    In this bone-rattling episode, we dig down dangerously into the Miami Open, at the exact same time of making fun of Mike's little moustache. We give a laser-focussed analysis of the Danielle Collins and Corentin Moutet SHORT KING DRAMA, and it ends with Lizzy speaking in a dubious French accent that no one enjoys. Sam gets bold and attacks the rat-like features of Alex de Minaur (game recognise game), comparing him to that of the bogan varietal. Oh, and Mike's Anagrams cements itself as the most dogsh*t segment we could ever dream up. Look... if you had a podcast, we'd listen to yours.
