Hi, I’m Harlan Dane Fallon & welcome to my brand new show WHAT A RACKET! - "From Glass to Grass"

What does it cover?

A show where Padel meets Tennis and every point tells a story. From Turf & Glass, Baselines & Grass.

Bringing you insight, culture, results, news & interviews, debate, fun and games + updates on the players shaping both sports, both on the Pro and Recreational Stages.

Whether you’re a tennis lifer, curious about padel or a padel-addict wanting to know more about tennis, this is your new court every Monday 6am-7am on Bolton FM.

Why Launch Now?

I've always been a big Tennis lover and I trained and played as a youngster from 5 Years Old. I watched a lot also on TV. Wimbledon and all the Majors a staple at my Grandparents during the summer and calendar year.

The concept, the athleticism, the demands and endurance, the skill and accuracy, have always amazed me!

I've recently gotten into Padel and love the concept,  for many of the reasons I like Tennis. However, I like the elemental change, the Glass, the thought processes, tactics and emphasis on teamwork.

A show covering both felt like the next step for me, to talk about two sports from different eras and cultural birthplaces, both of which are very much prevalent today. With Tennis a staple of British and Worldwide culture and Padel growing rapidly from its roots in Acapulco, Mexico.

Join me for a fresh take on all things racket related. Now LET me serve up something ACE!
