Perfect Match?

Bryan Keller & Michele Drohan

Perfect Match? is a tennis podcast where we talk about tennis as it relates to the culture (and sometimes our relationship as it relates to tennis).

Co-hosts, partnered couple and dare we say doubles partners, Bryan and Michele get into it exploring the big game, their own game and anything else that's making tennis fans talk from the sidelines.

Episodes drop weekly. Stay in touch: Bluesky at @perfectmatchpodcast.com or @shellsteak, and Instagram at @perfectmatchpodcast.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy
