Znanstvenofantastični roman, ki skozi oči prišleka iz oddaljenega planeta nastavlja ogledalo naši družbiNekega dne je na Zemlji pristal mož iz oddaljenega planeta, z nalogo, da tu zgradi vesoljsko plovilo, s katerim bo lahko k nam prepeljal preživele člane svoje civilizacije, ki jim na njihovem planetu zmanjkuje osnovnih virov za preživetje. Če vam zgodba zveni znano, ste si bržkone nekoč ogledali kultni znanstveno-fantastični film Mož, ki je padel na Zemljo, v katerem je 50 let nazaj nezemljana odigral sam David Bowie. Veliko manj verjetno pa je, da ste kdaj prijeli v roko knjižno predlogo tega filma, ki je bila dolgo v senci filmske priredbe. V tokratnem Sobotnem branju nam bo Tevisev znanstveno-fantastični roman Mož, ki je padel na Zemljo, ki je nedavno izšel pri založbi LUD Literatura, pomagal predstaviti prevajalec in pesnik Tone Škrjanec. Oddajo je pripravila Alja Zore.

For this episode of Joy of Padel, I reverted to Google's NotebookLM to create a conversation between two AI-generated voices (so-named Elle and Jim) about how to play against and with a left-handed player. Elle and Jim unpack the astonishing dynamics of left-handed dominance within the fast-evolving world of padel. Drawing on an arsenal of data from Minter Dial, elite tactical breakdowns from coaches at A.P. padel and the Padel School, and candid insights from top professional Jon Sanz, the hosts explore why left-handed players—despite comprising just 10% of the population—are hoarding a disproportionate percentage of top-level trophies. This conversation is a deep dive into the physics, geometry, and psychology that make left-handed padel less a quirk and more a bona fide “cheat code”. Elle and Jim break down the structural advantages of left-right partnerships, exposing how two dominant forehands in the centre transform a statistical weakness into an unassailable fortress. They examine the infuriating realities of “reverse spin” off the glass, dissect the crucial defensive adjustments required, and reveal practical strategies—drawn straight from pro playbooks and amateur war stories—for overcoming the chaos lefties create on court. Beyond pure tactics, the discussion also delves into the nuanced teamwork, communication, and role definition that separate the merely talented from the truly unstoppable. With thoughtful anecdotes and razor-sharp analysis, this episode challenges listeners to embrace the geometric mind games of modern padel, rethink familiar habits, and adapt to a sporting landscape where anatomy and strategy collide. Whether you're a righty dreading your first encounter with a lefty, an aspiring “architect” looking to master team dynamics, or simply a padel fanatic chasing that elusive edge, tune in as Joy of Padel unmasks the secrets of the sport's ultimate cheat code—and invites you to step confidently into the glass box.

The global sport is coming to America, but is America to insular with its own sports such as baseball and the NFL? Does competitive tennis have a stranglehold on the young racquet player? Join us and find out.
In this episode, we break down why most players lose their matches in the first 10 minutes—and how to make sure you're not one of them.From rushing straight from work onto court, skipping warm-ups, lacking tactical clarity, or simply starting too slowly, many recreational players unknowingly sabotage their performance before the match has even properly begun. We explore how elite players, national competitors, and top-performing club players use pre-match routines to create consistency, confidence, and stronger starts.We cover: Why the 10 minutes before stepping on court may be even more important than the first few games How physical warm-ups improve performance, reduce injury risk, and sharpen focus The power of pre-match clarity, journaling, and tactical planning How to create a simple, realistic pre-match routine—even with a busy schedule Why warming up with your partner can dramatically improve teamwork and results The importance of intentional on-court warm-ups instead of mindless hitting Whether you're a club player, competitive amateur, or serious tournament player, this episode gives you a practical blueprint to improve consistency, reduce unforced errors, and start matches with a major advantage.If you've ever wondered why your performances feel inconsistent or why you often start matches poorly, this conversation could completely change how you approach your game.!!NEW IN THE PADEL SCHOOL!!Padel Training & Match Journal: Track Your Training, Matches, and On-Court ProgressEXPLORE OUR OFFERS:The Padel School Membership (with FREE Trial) Access 75+ Drills for Every Level: TPS Drill Book For Players Our BOOK - The Padel Player's Guide Win Matches with a Stronger Mindset: Get our Mental Toughness Course

If you’ve ever felt like your marketing stack is more of a marketing pile, like siloed channels, disconnected metrics, and a different agency for every platform, this conversation with Zack Dugow is for you. At the fourth annual POSSIBLE Conference in Miami I built a mini-series of four Insider Interviews episodes I’m calling “POV: Possible,” kicking off with Zack , the founder and CEO of The Cool Company. (Yes, that’s the actual name. BUT, COOL is actually an acronym — more on that in the episode.) What is truly cool is that this company is based on four acquired ad tech companies, integrated into a single AI-powered platform: They build your ad creative, buy your media across every channel, and continuously optimize for business goals or outcomes. No siloes. One system, one goal, one cool company. And, Zack illustrates the how and why in my segment called, “Pitch Me. Pinch Me.” Spoiler alert (unless you were at Possible and saw it from SalientMG’s Innovation Stage!): Zack sharesa a compelling case study from National Veterinary Associates where his team ran a head-to-head test against a human media trading team. Same budget, same time period. The result? 289% more phone calls and appointments. The reason? While a skilled human team might make 70 campaign changes in a week, theri CoolAI made over 8,600 in two weeks. As Zack put it: “What human is gonna log in, take 20 minutes to make a change that improves something one one-thousandth of a percent? But micro-gains compound fast.” More human side? You’ll learn about his dog, Barry (listen why he’s named that!), and Zack’s appreciation for Padel (pah-DEL?!) But, we also got into the measurement mess that’s plaguing the human industry right now. Zack’s universal advice? Always ask how your attribution is actually being calculated, and sanity-check it against your own internal numbers. “Ultimately, at the end of the day, you should be looking at your own internal business metrics. If you’re a restaurant, it’s like, how many entrees did I sell?” And when it comes to AI being overhyped? Zack, of course, doesn’t think so. But he does think we’re just now crossing from “faster and cheaper” into “actually better.” Proof point? He makes the case that the beauty of automation is its range: the same platform that optimizes campaigns for a national airline can do the same for a local car wash, with no ad expertise required. The playing field is leveling, and the implications for marketers at every scale are hard to ignore. Key Moments 0:01:25 — What the Cool Company actually does under one AI platform 0:03:49 — What COOL stands for: More than a name; a philosophy. 0:06:08 — The Proof Point: A case study that pit AI-driven campaign management against a human trading team 0:07:04 — Why micro-optimizations at AI scale compounds gains humans can’t replicate 0:09:00 — Attribution truth talk 0:10:19 — The Channel Budget Trap: Why siloing budgets by platform (TikTok, search, display) limits performance vs unified goal-setting 0:11:13— The Human Side: Meet Barry, Zack’s co-pilot, and the most Game of Thrones-named dog in ad tech 0:12:49 — Is AI Overhyped?

Umberto Marino"Tennis"Prefazione di Stefano MeloccaroMdS Editorewww.mdseditore.itMercoledì 6 maggio, ore 18Pasquino Art Center, RomaPresentazione diTENNISdi Umberto MarinoIl tennis è uno sport molto semplice. Finché non cominci a giocarlo.Cercheranno di spiegarne il perché: Giulio Scarpati, Stefano Meloccaro, Fabrizio Berruti e l'autore, da sempre innamorato (non corrisposto) di questo diabolico sport.Il tennis è uno sport semplice.Finché non inizi a giocarlo.Poi fai un punto e sei a quindici, un punteggio che non ha senso.Perché perdi sempre con Federico e non capisci perché.Perché il tennis è pieno di quelli che riprendonoe di quelli che dovrebbero smettere. E sono le stesse persone.Perché nessuno può salvarti dai pallettari.E perché, a un certo punto, ti accorgi che il tuo vero avversario sei tu.TENNIS è una raccolta di brevi saggi ironici e paradossali sullo sport più elegante e più incomprensibile che esista.Umberto Marino è nato a Roma nel 1952. Laurea in Giurisprudenza, criminalista, poi Accademia d'Arte Drammatica. Commediografo, sceneggiatore e regista, ha scritto: vari radiodrammi, 30 commedie, decine soggetti e sceneggiature di cinema. Tra i vari titoli: Distretto di Polizia, La stazione, Italia- Germania 4 a 3, Volevamo essere gli U2, La Freccia Azzurra, La gabbianella e il gatto, Tutto per mio figlio. Oltre a commedie, articoli e saggi, ha pubblicato i romanzi: La ragazza che non conosceva Shakespeare, Roger, Otto il Rondinotto, La veridica storia del Barone Marino di San Letterio, Piccole cose molto potenti a Pompei.

In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked ways to accelerate your padel improvement: what you do off the court.Many recreational players believe that simply playing more matches is the fastest path to getting better. While matches are important, they often only take players so far before bad habits, technical flaws, and performance plateaus begin to appear. We break down why relying solely on match play can actually slow long-term progress—and what players should be doing instead.From footwork drills and ball control exercises to grip development, shadow movements, strength work, and structured routines, we discuss the practical off-court methods that can dramatically improve your on-court performance without constantly paying for additional court time.We also explain how players can build smarter weekly routines, create better habits early in their journey, and use focused repetition to improve specific weaknesses more efficiently. Whether your goal is to increase your rating, compete more seriously, or simply become a more confident player, this episode gives you a blueprint for faster improvement.If you feel stuck, frustrated, or like your progress has slowed, this conversation will show you why off-court training may be the missing piece in your development.EXPLORE OUR OFFERS:The Padel School Membership (with FREE Trial)Access 75+ Drills for Every Level: TPS Drill Book For Players Our BOOK - The Padel Player's Guide Win Matches with a Stronger Mindset: Get our Mental Toughness Course NEW IN THE PADEL SCHOOL:Padel School Training & Match Journal
In this episode, we break down one of the most common mistakes players make when trying to improve: trying to fix too many things at once.Instead of progressing, players often overload themselves with technical thoughts—especially on key shots like the bandeja—and end up executing none of them well. The real key? Simplifying your focus. We discuss why narrowing your attention to just one or two specific areas of a shot can accelerate your improvement and help you build real consistency.We also explore how to identify what actually needs work using tools like video analysis, and how to turn that clarity into a structured practice plan. Whether you're training with a coach, in a group session, or even at home, having a clear and focused intention behind your practice is what drives results.Most importantly, we explain why just playing matches isn't enough. If you want to truly improve your game, you need deliberate, focused practice—and this episode shows you exactly how to approach it.

Neil shares his thoughts on the tactical evolution of the game and what it takes to build a winning culture in the modern era.Rounding out the show is the uniquely talented Ed Stanchion—a chef, magician, and die-hard Southampton fan.

In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest questions in racquet sports right now: is padel truly complementary to tennis… or is it quietly replacing it?With more tennis clubs introducing padel courts, there's a growing belief that the two sports can thrive side by side. But is that really what's happening? Or are we seeing a shift, with players moving from tennis to padel rather than balancing both?We explore how participation trends are changing, why padel is attracting both tennis players and complete beginners, and what this means for clubs, federations, and the future of both sports. From infrastructure challenges and court availability to the role of governing bodies and the rise of standalone padel clubs, we break down the key factors shaping the landscape.We also look at global trends, comparing countries where padel is already surpassing tennis in participation, and discuss whether that could happen elsewhere in the coming years.Whether you're a tennis player, a padel enthusiast, or involved in running a club, this episode gives you a clear, honest look at where things are heading and what it means for the future of the game.EXPLORE OUR OFFERS:The Padel School Membership (with FREE Trial) Access 75+ Drills for Every Level: TPS Drill Book For Players Our BOOK - The Padel Player's Guide Win Matches with a Stronger Mindset: Get our Mental Toughness Course

Located in the Quin Road Business Park, Banner Padel will consist of six state of the art full panoramic courts along with a café & lounge area. Once up and running, regular leagues and tournaments will be set up with one to one coaching available on site. Owner John Bridges says there's immense demand for such a facility in the county.
Why do so many players get stuck at the 3.5–4.0 level? In this episode, we break down the real reasons behind the plateau—and why simply playing more matches won't fix it.We explore how early improvement can be misleading, especially for players coming from other racket sports, and why missing fundamentals like footwork, preparation, and positioning eventually catch up with you. We also unpack the biggest misconception: that going back to basics means going backwards—when in reality, it's the only way forward.Plus, we share a clear action plan to help you break through: how to identify what's actually holding you back, how to focus your training effectively, and why repetition and structured practice are key to long-term progress.If you feel stuck in your game or want to avoid hitting that plateau altogether, this episode gives you the roadmap to keep improving.EXPLORE OUR OFFERS:The Padel School Membership (with FREE Trial) Access 75+ Drills for Every Level: TPS Drill Book For Players Our BOOK - The Padel Player's Guide Win Matches with a Stronger Mindset: Get our Mental Toughness Course

Are individual padel lessons really the best way to improve?In this episode, Sandy and Tom break down the role of private coaching vs group sessions. While one-on-one lessons can be powerful for fixing specific technical issues—especially with video analysis—they explore why they've become so popular, and whether that's always justified.From the appeal of a “VIP” coaching experience to the realities of how clubs structure their sessions, they uncover how culture shapes what players believe they need. They also share why, in the right environment, high-quality group training can be just as effective—if not more so—for long-term improvement.EXPLORE OUR OFFERS:The Padel School Membership (with FREE Trial) Access 75+ Drills for Every Level: TPS Drill Book For Players Our BOOK - The Padel Player's Guide Win Matches with a Stronger Mindset: Get our Mental Toughness Course

How much do rankings really mean in padel right now?In this episode, Sandy and Tom explore the reality of rankings in a fast-growing sport. Unlike tennis, where rankings are well-established and clearly reflect level, padel is still evolving — and that creates a very different landscape.They discuss why a top 50 ranking in the UK doesn't always tell the full story, how players can climb quickly through tournaments and partnerships, and why this current phase presents a unique opportunity.As the sport continues to grow, rankings will become more competitive and more accurate — but for now, there's a window for players to make their move.EXPLORE OUR OFFERS:The Padel School Membership (with FREE Trial) Access 75+ Drills for Every Level: TPS Drill Book For Players Our BOOK - The Padel Player's Guide Win Matches with a Stronger Mindset: Get our Mental Toughness Course
