81. Why Pickleball is a Smash Hit

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States. It does not involve any actual pickles and the goal is to hit a lightweight perforated ball back and forth with paddles over a low net, avoid "the kitchen", hit a "flapjack" when needed, and not get "pickled". Hear how pickleball got its start during a lazy summer 60 years ago, how it got its quirky name, and what led to its rapid spread over the last few years. Then visit the state of Washington, the birthplace of pickleball — and home to geoduck (which is not a duck), Hoopfest, gourmet coffee, volcanic peaks and glaciers, whales, and a legendary music scene.
