I created this short aural explainer as a scene in a larger longform piece on padel: the fastest growing international sport that most of us in the US have never heard of. 

While reporting the history of padel, and the 2032 Olympic-sport ambitions of the piece's primary character, everyone I spoke with explained padel in terms of "it's in the middle between tennis and pickleball." I decided to make a fun and informative explainer that _showed_ us the differences in game speed and court size by how it sounds to actually be a player.
