| 10/14/26 | THE AO 2027 OYSTER INCIDENT | In this hurly-burly ep, Mike reveals he was force-fed an oyster while blindfolded at the AO 2027 launch and Lizzy examines the deep parallels between Alexander Zverev's rise to world No.1 and Steven Bradbury's baffling gold medal victory at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. They talk about what makes a great tennis 'celly', which players smashed their racquets in the most convincing manner, and perform a mind-bending analysis of all the hectic moustaches we're seeing lately (Carlos Alcaraz, we're looking at you). Also, there's a quiz question if you're into that sort of thing. AusOpen.comiHeartApple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 44m 21s | ||||||
| 10/8/26 | ALL EYEZ ON MEDVEDEV | This bumper edition of Pod Laver Arena features our first ever Crimestoppers Edition of Watch Watch and a comprehensive look at Daniil Medvedev's disqualification from the China Open for smacking a ball into a spectator's eyeball. Fun! Also, Mike pokes the bear by suggesting Aryna Sabalenka posts on Instagram too much and it's therefore affecting her game. I'm sure nothing bad will come of that. Also, come marvel at Terance Atmane chucking a wobbly, which in turn leads to him chucking his racquet. But did he damage a spectator's eyeball? Lend us your ears to find out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 43m 34s | ||||||
| 9/30/26 | A BANANA FOR EALA | In this episode, Mike freely admits to dropping Alex Eala's name at a Filipino wedding to win people over and Lizzy sees the milky beauty in Morgan Riddle's perfume bottle. Andre Agassi reminds everyone why he is still the tennis world's favourite drunk uncle, Andrey Rublev turns on the charm for his Chinese fans, and André the Giant didn't play tennis, but if he did, I bet he'd be hard to pass at the net. This is Pod Laver Arena, and we hope you like it. Stay fresh. AusOpen.comiHeartApple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 33m 36s | ||||||
| 9/23/26 | ALEX EALA'S WANDERING DAD | Lizzy is back and falls into line immediately. She and Mike discuss how Andy Murray has sewn up the lucrative shortbread market and reminisce about the time Alex Eala's dad came into the PLA studio just to have a 'sticky beak'. Against all odds, they hit on a winning formula for a new themed Australian Open cocktail, and they trial a bold new segment called Game, Set, Hats! It was actually passable! And you can't ask for anything more than that. Download it and shove it in your ears.

| 9/17/26 | SAUSAGE ZVEREV SLIPS UP | As Alexander Zverev lifts high the US Open trophy, our hosts Mike and Sam call him out on a few things like: Why didn't he know he'd won? Why did he give away his gameplan secrets in the presser? And why did someone refer to him as 'Sausage'? They also lament the loss of oversized novelty cheques - remember those?! It's tennis chat, with several code violations. This is Pod Laver Arena. AusOpen.comiHeartApple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 1h 01m 54s | ||||||

| 7/30/26 | MILO AND IBIZA | In the last show before Lizzy embarks on a stint at the Edinburgh Fringe, she and Mike share stories of fans in the wild, questionable opinions on Milo and Ibiza, plus plenty of laughs. They break down the latest on-court drama, where a match point is spoiled and then saved, discuss live results from DC, US Open predictions and wander off on a few hilarious musical tangents along the way. With giant phones replacing novelty cheques and rumours swirling about Matteo Berrettini and Peggy Gou, this episode has it all.
