Have spent the weekend recording “test reads” in my wardrobe using my phone and a towel. It’s going well, though Siri keeps interrupting.
In my final take I whispered:
“Confession isn’t weakness — it’s marketing with honesty.”
It gave me goosebumps.
If this goes right, I’ll make sure the series becomes a whole audio universe.
The Courting Lives of an Ageing Tennis Player: The Podcast. The Soundtrack. The Brand.
If this goes wrong, I’ll tell Nick it was a focus-group experiment.
Either way, the voice of NOP is coming.
And it might just be me.
Confessions of an Ageing Tennis Player
“I don’t like your attitude!” snaps “Serena Williams” as we square up over the club’s dubious grass courts. But I am “Andy Murray”, the greatest tennis GOAT ever, no really I am and you “Serena” are blocking me from my ultimate goal: chairman of our local club.
A riotously funny illustrated comic guidebook about obsession, ageing, sporting fantasy and the gap between imagination and reality.
Follow a man of a certain age — self-styled as “Andy Murray” — on his spirited, surreal journey through dreams of Wimbledon glory, club politics, and the absurdities of success that never quite arrives. The first in the Confessions series.
