Rick talks with tennis racquet collector, Mike Barrell this week.
There are 1000’s of tennis racquets out there. Where you are looking for a racquet that is functional or something to put on your wall as a piece of art, Mike helps guide you through the tennis racquet collecting universe.
As a collector, Mike feels that part of his responsibility is education others about the history and value of racquets. We then talk about Mike’s collection, how scarcity and values are determined. In the age of social media, Mike is very active with other racquet enthusiasts on Facebook.
From wood to racquets made with all sorts of materials, Mike says, it’s about the hunt and discovering something that he’s never seen before.
Enjoy this talk with tennis racquet collector, Mike Barrell. Maybe you’ll start a collection of your own!
For seafood lovers, it can be hard to know which fish to eat. Fish are some of the only wild animals we consume on a mass scale. Nearly 90% of global marine fish stocks are now fully exploited or overfished. Alaska produces more wild seafood than all other states combined and accounts for about 60% of the nation’s commercial fisheries.
Joined by Roxana Ehsani.

Well, at least prepare for “The Limbo Queen,” Zakita from the UniverSoul Circus.
UniverSoul Circus opens in Atlanta at Atlantic Station’s Pinnacle Lot this weekend and is scheduled to run through May 26 — marking the first time that the UniverSoul Big Top has set up at Atlantic Station.
The touring show was created by concert and theater promoter Cedric Walker, who combined elements of live theater, high-powered concerts, and circus arts to create a unique blend of family-friendly entertainment. The first UniverSoul Circus show was held back in 1994 in Atlanta and was an immediate hit, leading to multi-city tours and acclaim from around the world.
Current acts in the show include a Caribbean Carnivale, the incredible Havana Night Skaters, Extreme Riders (yes, they even fly motorbikes under the tent), and the Wheel of Death.
The Atlantic Station Pinnacle Lot is located at 241 20th Street Northwest in Atlanta. Park in the Atlantic Station parking deck and you get two free hours of parking.
Rick is joined by Zakita this week. Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, Kita has been performing in the UniverSoul Circus for eight years. Hear as she explains that the Limbo is the national dance of Trinidad and Tobago and what life is like traveling in a touring circus.

Bimini Hydrotherapy announces the release of its first at-home unit, the Bimini NanoJet® Eco, turning a bathtub into an oxygen perfusion system to help recover from sports injuries and aid in cellular rejuvenation. The device is the next generation in hydrotherapies by making oxygen more readily available, helping with inflammation treatment, pain management, sleep issues, fatigue, skin conditions and anti-aging.
The Bimini NanoJet Oxygen Perfusion System is a technological breakthrough for oxygen perfusion into the body’s soft cell tissue using ultra-fine nanobubbles. These small bubbles can penetrate the skin through pores, allowing for deep treatment. The Bimini NanoJet System is the only oxygen perfusion system that can produce nanobubbles as small as 0.02 microns.
The all-natural, non-invasive treatment allows a user to comfortably soak in a tub of water at a temperature of 85 to 100 degrees, infused with ultra-fine oxygen nanobubbles to increase the oxygen concentration in the body and enjoy benefits to their health and recovery.
The Bimini NanoJet™ Eco follows the brand’s prior systems for large, commercial whirlpools used at sports training facilities. Athletes and NFL legends will get a first glimpse of the at-home version at a Super Bowl event on Feb. 9 in Las Vegas, where they can experience the future of oxygen therapy in a new and improved delivery system.
“We’re in a league of our own when it comes to ultra-fine nanobubbles for deep tissue rejuvenation for transdermal oxygen hydrotherapy,” said Co-Founder Rick Applewhite. “Hundreds of medical studies support increasing oxygen for cellular regeneration as well as repairing soft tissue injuries, removing inflammation to anti-aging properties. With our new Bimini NanoJet™ Eco home mobile system, we encourage athletes and everyday folks to sit back, relax and let their bodies breathe for up to 60 minutes at a time.”
