  • Interstitial - Padel Etiquette: The Unwritten Rules of the Court (JOPS02E23)
    Jan 8 2025
    This episode is a bit special. First, it's not in the usual form of an interview that I conduct with a padel connoisseur or celebrity. While based on a real article I wrote, it was converted into a podcast thanks to the uncannily good NotebookLLM (by Google). The artwork for this episode was created by Dall-ee (OpenAI) on a custom-trained dataset. This conversation, between two AI voices, focuses on padel etiquette, outlining unwritten rules for maintaining a positive playing experience. I must note that the machine only knows how to pronounce padel the American way padél (pad-elle) as opposed to pádel (pah-dle). The main focus of the conversation is on avoiding "fridging," where a player is deliberately excluded from the action. Other etiquette points cover respecting opponents and partners, such as avoiding excessive lobs, prompt apologies for accidental hits, and responsible phone use. I also look at post-game behavior and provide a few self-awareness tips to improve one's own game and interactions. Overall, the post emphasizes the importance of respect and fun within the game of padel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
