So many great interviews and topics. Keep the episodes coming! I love this podcast. You mentioned Rudy Galindo was your choreographer. Please get him on for an interview!!!

The skating interviews are generally good, her assessments of other skaters self-serving, but her latest episode discussing birth control/female hormones with a naturopath “doctor” was dangerous and full of unverified information. Why not have a real physician or nurse practitioner that actually...Read full review »

Polina keeps it 100. As just a casual fan of skating I can’t tell when technique is good or bad, so i love hearing her break it all down, the good, bad and the ugly. The only figure skating podcast i listen to.

Polina is so great at what she does. Fantastic show. 100% best show for figure skating analysis and news.

It’s my favorite figure skating show I listen to. Always excited for more episodes to come out

Really like Polina’s expertise in this space. This is an underserved topic and she does a great job.

Polina is a legend!

Unique awesome show!

Hi Polina. The episode with Scott Hamilton was so very good. You asked such interesting questions on a range of topics that let me learn about Scott and skating in general. The story behind Starts on Ice, his take on why the 90s’ boom lasted, and of course his personal passion for cure of cancer....Read full review »

You wouldn’t expect a figure skating podcast to elicit real insights and self reflection from the interviews but somehow Polina manages to do it. A young figure skating Terri Gross. Congrats Polina I think you have a bright future in radio, even beyond figure skating.

Please, please continue throughout the year. We fans want to learn , hear from those who have been and are in the skating world, its history, future and currently involved year round. There are so many aspects about figure skating and you bring out these topics with your guests!!! Fell in...Read full review »
Die hard senior skating fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/22
I am in my 50’s and brand new to figure skating, which I picked up for exercise and enjoyment. So glad I found this podcast that is teaching me so much about the sport including the elite and Olympic levels of skating. Informative, helpful, and entertaining.
Wumpyflappy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/22
Good insights but comes off as a know it all. No right to be so judgy on todays top skaters. She was never that great.
FGskatfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/22
No interesting information just hate. It is very sad
Albinos8 via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 02/23/22
Your latest episode is the best analysis I’ve heard regarding the Olympic doping scandal. I think something that has been missing in the coverage this past week is how much or little autonomy a teenage Russian figure skater likely has. Your description of the differences in training/coaching...Read full review »

Am a physician in SF; just listened to most recent show. Getting to better understand and appreciate what skaters go through. Excellent podcast!
Kp4 ghost via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/22
I’ve always found Scherbakova unwatchable. Now I understand why, thanks to Polina’s analysis. She captures what I’ve been unable to articulate. Polina doesn’t pull any punches, and I love that!
Dusty Car Muddy Boots via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/22
Nice podcast and Polina is such an awesome host😍😍 Looking forward to the following episodes ~ Hope Mariah Cheyenne and Nathan Chen will be on this podcast someday 😃🙏

Polina, your are addressing issues that every skater, coach, and family need to be aware of.As a previous skater, coach, and now judge, I feel these topics you discuss have traditionally been ignored. Your generation are the ones to bring all topics you discuss in your podcast to the...Read full review »

I love hearing what you have to say and your perspective on things. Love the interviews with skaters!! Would like to see you highlight some different disciplines of skating (collegiate, adult, synchro). Very positive contribution to the skating community!

Debi Thomas was so interesting and I loved her raw honesty . I wish her much success in endeavoring to change our community into an embracing culture of positivity. The human being has so much potential, most of it going to waste with people conforming to norms and refusing to learn. I...Read full review »

Gobi desert via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/21
I love hearing a figure skating podcast from a recently competitive skater who knows all the ins and outs of the skating world. She’s an Olympian who deserves respect for her own accomplishments but also has insight to hard work, injuries, failure, and all the other hardships that athletes face....Read full review »
aimeenknight via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/21
Wow, that was really hard to listen to. I had heard she had kind of gone off the “deep end”, but that was next level. She couldn’t even stay on topic for more than a minute before she went off on tangents. She literally went from talking about the 88 Olympics & Katarina Witt to conspiracy...Read full review »
AmyLektz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/21
I enjoy hearing a new figure skating podcast with a range of competitors. I wish Polina would try to make the episodes more conversational. There are multiple instances where I felt she shouldn’t have just transitioned to a new question. For instance, I finished the Michael Weiss ep and he...Read full review »

I really enjoyed the Brian Boitano episode. He is very insightful and interesting. It would be great to have him back again!
Reinejane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/21
I’ve been following the skating world for a long time and used to skate myself for many years, and I love the interviews Polina does and the guests she brings in. This podcast gives really great insight into the skating world, which is especially nice when COVID has changed everything for us,...Read full review »
AJA 24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/20
Polina's interviews and talks provide a insider look to the sport of skating. However, I feel this podcast would be better named "The Polina Show". Polina is unable to conduct an interview without her own biases getting in the way. When interviewing others she always has to throw in...Read full review »

*+magical sloth girl*+. (^-^) via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/18/20
I enjoyed every single episode. I appreciate that Polina is so forthcoming about her personal experiences. I also think this makes her an engaging and effective interviewer. From what I’ve heard, she has a way of asking questions that elicit genuine responses.
Emojita via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/20
I love hearing Polinas point of view in figure skating from when she was competing as a teenager, and now as an adult reflecting back in her younger years. I’m not sure what the negative reviews are trying to point out but the point of these podcast, from my perspective, is her views and...Read full review »
listening in Seattle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/20
Don’t go into this podcast series expecting stories of rags to riches or no name to gold medalist. That’s not what this is. This is a story about dedication and perseverance. It’s a story about the hard work a child can put in to become great at something. I’m also smart enough to not review...Read full review »
Metatomic Todd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/20
Polina comes across as incredibly arrogant, privileged, and delusional in this podcast. The narrative she is trying to weave is mind boggling.
ANewListener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/20
First off, Polina was never my cup of skating tea. Listening to all of these episodes finalized my irkness I have for her Her imaginary greatness in the sport is such a privilege for her, I guess. Now don’t get me wrong she was very meh in the sport.( And it’s my opinion she shouldn’t have been...Read full review »
