She gives a rare inside look at life on tour: how the sport actually works, what sets it apart, the wild financial transformation of pro pickleball, and the rivalries and romances that make the league must-watch TV.        Reality Life with Kate Casey  What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com   The Story Behind My Podcast: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/i-was-the-narrator-of-my-own-family   Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey   Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245   Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey   Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecasey See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .","meta_description":"Executive producer Mark Infante and pro pickleball star Anna Bright join Kate to talk about PARTNERS, the six-part Prime Video documentary series followin…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1948,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/reality-life-with-kate-casey-6631/episodes/ep-1622-partners-inside-the-high-stakes-world-of-pro-pickleball/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/reality-life-with-kate-casey-6631/ep-1622-partners-inside-the-high-stakes-world-of-pro-pickleball.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
