Out Wide Podcast: Our World of Tennis, Inclusivity, and Celebration 

The only fan-based pod that puts the WTA in the center court of our hearts — and leaves the ATP at the gift shop.


Join Stef and Resh for queer, feminist, and unapologetically passionate commentary on women's tennis. We cover the 4 Grand Slams and beyond with love, humor, and a critical eye — celebrating the players changing the game, calling out the culture holding it back, and making space for everyone who's ever felt like an outsider in the sport they love.


This podcast is for the girls, the gays, the theys, and the tennis obsessed. If you've ever screamed at a line call, cried during a Serena match, or Googled a WTA player at 2am — you're home.


Because tennis wasn't always built for us. We're building it anyway.

Watching tennis in 2026 apparently requires a CPA, an IT degree, and a teenage LimeWire mindset. ...
