Summary

Michael Kosta and TDS Segment Director, Stacey Angeles, discuss their recent field piece on the rise of pickleball across the country. They discuss the freedom and creativity that comes with shooting a Daily Show field piece grounded in a lower stakes issue, as well as how they tracked down Patrick McEnroe and one of New York’s most controversial pickleball advocates to speak on the issue. They also share some exclusive, unaired material that didn’t make it to the final cut.
