Too many ads

The content is OK, but it’s hard to follow with all the ads.

Very good

It’s hard to make a podcast about pickleball and make it interesting enough to sit through. Mark has executed it perfectly. Great info, guests, and the duration is perfect. Not too long, sometimes too short for me though lol. Great job, keep up the good work. Thanks Mark
