Pickleball Fountain of Youth, hosted by Pickleball Hall of Famer Steve Paranto, is a video production / podcast series by RECS Media. Steve started playing pickleball in 1976 in the Puget Sound area and has been a passionate advocate of the sport ever since. His father, Arlen Paranto, invented the first composite paddle which revolutionized the game, and earned him induction into the first Hall of Fame class of 2017. Steve was inducted in 2019.

Steve taught P.E. to kids in the west Portland suburbs as a career and helped grow the pickleball community wherever and whenever he could. This podcast will feature new & old friends he’s made via pickleball, as well as anyone with a story to tell about how to stay vibrant and healthy in body, mind and spirit with the help of pickleball.

In addition to Steve’s pickleball mania, he is also a musician, a magician, and even a ventriloquist. He is truly the OG of pickleball - a character worthy of pickleball’s zany past and illustrious present.
