Great gym content but...

“I have been listening to this podcast for a long time now. There is good coverage of gym events, explanations of scores, etc. Spencer does really great analytical commentary and I appreciate how it seems he tries to keep to the gym topics.
Then there is a lot of Jeasica’s personal commentary on social issues, poltiics, etc - often it is a bit of a reach on how her rant is relevant to the topic at hand. She makes statements in such a way that can be very off-putting to listeners. It seems over time that Jessica is increasing this aspect of the show instead of decreasing it, despite many other similar reviews here. Listeners may be more open to her perspectives if she made changes to the tone and volume of how she delivers her opinions.
It is extremely confusing to me how Jessica so often pushes for sensitivity and kindness yet regularly, she makes comments and jokes that are really insensitive about various topics (ex: ivf). It seems insensitivity and jokes can be okay for certain topics that she chooses but then other topics, she is sure to provide a detailed lecture on why something is inappropriate or insensitive.
This really would be a 5/5 podcast if the clear focus were on the gym content. They have good coverage fo events, inside info, good analysis and perspectives on scoring, etc.
Unfortunately, the amount of “my way or the highway” commentary on political and social issues and the frequency of insensitive jokes seems a bit unnecessary and really distracts from the amazing gym content they do have here.”

“When I found this podcast, it was like I made a bunch of new gymnastics friends who just wanted to sit around and talk gym 24/7. No one I talk to knows much about gymnastics (or anything about it in most cases), so it's amazing to get new information from a human voice instead of reading a...”Read full review »

“The words amazing, delirious, and delectable do not even begin to describe the mastery of this podcast. It is like sitting in a room with your best friend while discussing the one thing the two of you love the most. I love their insight into the gymnastics world and can’t wait to listen to the...”Read full review »
