Pongcast TV

I realized that there were a lot of table tennis players out there who weren't following the professional table tennis world as fans of the sport.  Many of us are probably more familiar with what's happening in professional basketball, football, etc, over table tennis.  A simple, yet big reason, is because it's not easy to follow.  And if a majority of table tennis players aren't paying attention to the pro's, how can we expect non-table tennis players to be attracted to the sport as a spectator or player?

First, there is little to no table tennis coverage on television.  Second, our major resource for news is the interent, where you have to keep checking on multiple video sources, message board forums, and tournament websites to keep up to date on the table tennis scene.  It can be time consuming and aggravating having to do a lot of work hunting for news and results.

On television there are individual news and highlight shows for many sports, whether it be soccer, baseball, golf, among many others.  Here in the US, sports news never reports on table tennis, much less devote a show to reporting on it.  So here is my attempt at filling that gap, and hopefully make the sport more accessible and easier to follow by players and fans alike.

Such a shame you're not working on this project anymore. I still follow you, hoping for an update or at least - something. I kinda miss your podcast since your point of view was rather interesting, and nowadays with dozens of news sources... well, it might be easier to follow but your project was really unique.

sincerely yours, Robert
