Brown Crown at the APC, Vietnam Drama & Armaan Bhatia Exclusive

In this week’s World Pickleball Podcast, Chris and Gordo return with a packed episode covering the biggest stories in the sport.

The episode also teases an exclusive interview with Armaan Bhatia, India’s No. 1 pickleball player, following his historic performances on the global stage.

In the Good News Stories segment, the hosts celebrate a 95-year-old Seattle legend Joyce Jones, who broke her own pickleball world record, a touching 40-year reunion tradition honouring the sport’s roots, and an inspiring tale from Cincinnati’s PPA featuring amateur star Steve Janssen. Plus, find out why cricket hero Jasprit Bumrah is turning to pickleball for relaxation.
