David Law: Taking The Tennis Podcast around the world
Listen on
Episode notes
BBC sports commentator David Law has been podcasting for over ten years, and as a tennis fan, he’s got a pretty sweet deal. Taking advantage of a gap in the podcast market at the time, Law decided to launch The Tennis Podcast in 2012 with co-host Catherine Whitaker, joined eventually by Matthew Roberts.
Each year, they go from one of the five major international tournaments to the next, taking their podcast with them and producing daily on-site episodes from the tournament. This gruelling schedule has paid off, and since The Tennis Podcast’s launch in 2012, it now has over 25,000 listeners on a weekly basis tuning in to the podcast’s coverage of Grand Slam tournaments, discussions, and interviews around the tennis world.
Just getting over his jetlag and still recovering from covering the Australian Open tennis tournament, Law spoke to PodPod presenter Rhianna Dhillon and PodPod editor Adam Shepherd in the latest episode of the show to discuss what it’s like to record podcasts on-location, the importance of coining the right name and developing a likeable format, how he finally started making money on the podcast after having it cost his own savings for the first five years, and more.
Hosted by Rhianna Dillon, and produced by Emma Corsham for Haymarket Business Media.
