Dinks On Tap: The Happy Hour Pickleball Podcast

Red Carpets, Rooftop Pickleball, and why Kaitlin Miller Swapped Broadcast Journalism for Drop Shots and Dinks


Listen Later

Once upon a time, Kaitlin Miller was covering broadcast journalism red carpets and national headlines. Now she’s helping the Nashville pickleball scene blow up one rooftop pickleball rally and post-game marg at a time. With a paddle in one hand and a mic in the other, she’s turning rec play into a real movement, and she’s just getting started.

In this episode of your favorite pickleball podcast, Dinks On Tap, Kaitlin spills the sweet tea on how she went from chasing breaking news to building courts with Court Kings, hosting celeb tournaments, and giving newbies pickleball tips not to freak out in the kitchen. Whether she’s running drills at Pickleball Kingdom, throwing rooftop matches, or sipping martinis mid-dink, she’s blending paddle sports with Southern charm and redefining what it means to play for the long game.

Kaitlin’s breaking down everything from shady open-play vibes to the little mindset shifts that actually matter from newbie nerves to pro-level coaching pickleball moments.

We get into:


  • The real role of team building events and how they make corporate court time way less awkward
  • Why the US Open pickleball scene has nothing on a good country music Nashville courtside playlist
  • Why having a tennis background can help but won’t save you from getting schooled by an 80-year-old with fast hands and a knee brace
  • What the future of inclusivity in sports really looks like (and why open play still has some work to do)
  • How women in sports are leading the charge on the court, in the booth, and behind the business deals
  • From broadcast booths to pickleball courts, this episode hits every line. Expect big laughs, real talk, and the kind of strategic glow-up that happens when women run the show. Grab your paddle and your drinks, happy hour starts here.
