A Year On Tour With Vittinghus - A Badminton Podcast

Special Guest Episode - Kashyap Parupalli

Today's episode features a very interesting 30-minute interview with Indian star Kashyap Parupalli!

It's an interview that gives you lots of insight into what Kashyap's future plans might hold, why he's not afraid of speaking up when things are not right and we even go as far back as the 2004 World Junior Championships to talk about his career and achievements.

You'll also hear Kashyap reply to a few listener questions - one of them coming from none other than a certain Viktor Axelsen!

And finally you'll even get to hear Kashyap doing a live cover of Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You"!

This is an episode you can't miss!

Back On Court, The Perfect Badminton Player & Game-shirt Competition Time!

Get updated on the new situation in Denmark, where we are now allowed on court for training under very strict regulations. 

I'll also reply to questions from the listeners regarding the new concept called "AirBadminton", what the perfect badminton player would look like & what the most significant match of my career is (and the answer is NOT the Thomas Cup final 2016)!

The episode also contains a bit of news in terms of what to expect from this podcast in the future, now as going back on tour seems to be pretty far away.

Finally the episode will also give you the chance to participate in a competition for two of my signed game shirts!

Thanks for listening - much appreciated as always! Any feedback is more than welcome in comments or in an email: ayearontour@gmail.com.

Is the 2020-season finished?

Besides listening to the newly updated (and final) intro, new sound effects and also a brand new outro, here's what you can expect from this episode: 

• COVID-19 still keeps me (and a lot of other players) off the badminton courts. So in this episode I'll describe the situation as it is right now and also share my thoughts on how I try to keep my training interesting and fun.
  
  
• With more and more events being postponed/suspended, I'll also share my view on the future for international badminton.
  
  
• Finally I'll be answering a couple of great listener questions.

Thanks for listening everyone - and please share, rate and comment if you like what you hear.

Q&A episode & New Intro!

In this episode of the podcast you'll get answers on a bunch of listener questions - 15 in total!

I'll be answering questions on who's the toughest opponent I've ever faced, what my proudest moment on court is, how I work with mental strategies and much more.

You'll also get to hear my new intro for the first time. How exciting is that!?
It still needs a little bit of fine tuning and more sound effects are to come, to try and sweeten up your listening experience a bit.

I hope you'll enjoy it - and if you do, please leave a comment, rating or review. Constructive criticism is also OK :-)

Thanks for listening!
