While the temperature plunges here in the Northeast US, it's high summer Down Under, and how we wish we were there. But due to the miracle of low-cost audio equipment and free podcast hosting, we can at least talk about the Australian Open on the internet. So, that's something!

• Roger Federer's return to tennis! (in an exhibition doubles match)
• ESPN gave Brad and Pammy the boot
• Heated Rivalry and our favorite (and only) out gay male player
• The "1 Point Slam"
• That weird Tennis Kenya match where one player had apparently never played tennis?
• and finally...play tennis, live forever!
