It's been a year since the Kansas City Player Signings...is pickleball any better? Or worse? Jilly B and K Dubs answer the burning questions: 


-Will pickleball ever get to the Olympics? Maybe not, but it's in the Jewish Olympics! 

-Paddle Talk: Jill asks Carl "WHERE IS THE "delisted" LIST? 

-One of the most important "Dear Jilly B's" yet: Why is it so easy to lose to worse players? 

-And are the toes (yes, your toes) really the secret to unlocking your true potential? 


Plus a recap on back-to-back MLP's (Utah and Kansas). Another Waiver Wire & tanking at the pro level.

Ever find yourself wanting to talk about pickleball with friends who get just as obsessed as you do? That’s the feeling you get tuning into This Pickleball Life. Hosts Jill Braverman (Jilly B) and Kristin Walla (K Dub) bring their distinct voices together for conversations that mirror the sport itself-fast-paced, social, and full of unexpected spins. They dive into the latest news and gear, break down strategy in a way that’s actually useful, and share stories from the court that are equal parts hilarious and relatable. It’s less of a formal lesson and more like eavesdropping on two savvy players debriefing after a great match, covering everything from a tricky dink shot to the latest community drama. The whole This Pickleball Life podcast is built on that blend of genuine advice and entertainment, making it feel like you’re part of the conversation. They even take on listener dilemmas in their "Dear Jilly B" segment, offering thoughtful and often funny answers to the questions that plague every player, from etiquette to improving your third-shot drop. If your life somehow involves a paddle and a plastic ball, this is the company you want to keep.
