על אודות פודקאסט זה 🔗
The world’s most serious podcast about the world’s least serious sports.
Ballslapping is THE podcast for anyone who’s ever slapped a ball and called it sport. Hosted by Dan Grant and a rotating crew of co-hosts, we dive into the gloriously weird world niche balls. We chat to champions, eccentrics, and total unknowns keeping these glorious games alive. If it involves smacking a ball with your hand, a racket or something improvised in a car park—we’re into it. It’s sweaty, silly, surprisingly moving, and absolutely slaps. New eps 2 weekly (unless we're playing).
