Support Tennis Weekly Podcast for the 2025 season

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 7 tennis seasons, produce 468 episodes (77 in 2024) 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.

Thanks to our listeners incredible generosity in 2023, raising a record amount for the podcast, and the help of the wider TW team it has been another incredible year for the podcast. In 2024 we realised a dream, to attend Wimbledon as both broadcasters and press, recording daily podcasts for our listeners from the site, a dream that Joel never thought possible when he started the podcast on a park bench 7 years ago.

We were also lucky enough to attend ATP and WTA tournaments across the season as media accredited journalists. We put your questions to top players such as Andy Murray with Joel asking the final question at his emotional Wimbledon retirement press conference as well as Chris and volunteer producer Alina getting to spend a week with Rafael Nadal in Bastad, asking Kim's bucket list question to her all time tennis idol!

We also made the move to video podcasting and none of professional and polished content would be possible without the generosity, talent and tireless work of our pro bono designer Christoffer who has spent numerous hours each week working into the night editing our video episodes and clips.

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 such as our new microphones so we can record on site, the licenses for the software we use to record, our website and social media fees and where we can, supporting the cost of travelling 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 2025 for another exciting season with Tennis Weekly at your side! We wouldn't have it any other way!

Joel, Kim and Chris
