Audley is a well-prepared and well-versed interviewer. He has not only knowledge but an indelible passion for "Hard Court Lessons" and it translates in his delivery as a radio host. He is more than just a talking head as he offers useful and practical advice to his listeners. He has a knack for bringing out the best insight from his guests and doesn't shy away from offering his own insights and opinions. I enjoyed being a guest on his show and would gladly do it again anytime.
