What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Ben’s interview about Mary’s hall of fame induction in 2026 was exactly what I hoped it would be. In other episodes, I find Ben speaks too fast, often says too much and frequently interrupts Tumaini. This cadence of this long form interview was much more thoughtful and he clearly loves Mary a lot.

kenyameric · Dec 2025

I enjoyed this podcast for a while, and I appreciate the insights of both Ben and Tumaini. However, it’s really difficult to understand Tumaini because his microphone/recording setup is clearly lower quality. So many people multi task or have background noise while listening, and it’s just a bummer that I have to tune Tumaini out for long stretches because I’ve, like, turned on the faucet. Otherwise it’s a good tennis podcast! Just wish I could hear one of the more frequent guests/cohosts.

Eslashe · Jul 2023

Ben has definitely taken on some uncomfortable topics which others are afraid to touch… I do feel that this pod would be much improved with more attention, given to sound quality- I’m sure some technical assistance could be found. I enjoy listening to Tumaini (who needs to get a little closer to the mic at times) but I do miss hearing Courtney, as well as others (the woman from Egypt…). With all due respect, the hype on Ben’s book was a bit tiresome, though I’m glad that the subject, Naomi Osaka, seems to be having a good start at the AO this year.

unclejamo · Jan 2025

I love Ben Rothenberg’s written coverage of tennis, but his podcast is predictable. In the past year, it doesn’t feel like he really watches a lot of tennis so his insights aren’t deep. And since he started writing his book, it seems like he only does the podcast to promote the book. His contributors, specifically Tumaini, do bring the knowledge but Ben is not a practiced enough host to extract enough to make a great podcast. I am 100% supportive of his renewed focus on Zverev - please continue to shine a light on this even though the ATP clears wants to sweep it under the rug.

Nomadfromcincy · Jan 2024

Love his written content but Ben speaks way too fast and audio is not his format. Please try speaking more slowly!

Jbwcanuck · Aug 2026

Ben talks way too much. He asks a question of his “co-host” then proceeds to expound on his own opinion for multiple minutes, leaving no room for anything but “yes, you covered it”. He needs a coach to help him stop talking.
