Four episodes a year, with visiting guests.

Our monthly podcast. Hosted by Alex Robinson.
What lives in this section
Twelve episodes a year, split four, four and four: four recorded from Bristol with visiting guests, four on tour across UK padel clubs, four on location worldwide, at the events and places that anchor the season.
Each episode is paired with a written companion piece in the publication. The recording catches the conversation. The writing makes the case for why it mattered. Listened to in order, the year reads as a single argument about where padel is going.
The Sessions is hosted by our editor, Alex Robinson, who does the listening while we do the writing; both halves go out together.
