“I’ve gotten into figure skating really recently (hi, random YouTube Olympics rec) and so far this podcast has been my favourite resource to learn more about the sport.
There’s a mix of competitions recaps, interviews with athletes and coaches, and episodes dedicated to exploring the history of the sport and various socio-political aspects. The last two in particular I really appreciated. It was the exploration of gender episode (ep 5) that sold me on the podcast. The iconic performances episode (ep 3) was also super helpful for new fans to watch great performances.
I love the energy and enthusiasm the hosts bring to this podcast. The commentary is supportive of all the athletes, and there’s a lovely positive vibe. I also love the diversity of hosts, the multiple time zones really showcase how international the sport and fans are. Plus, it’s lovely to see the care that goes into pronouncing the names of the athletes correctly. This is such a great listen. I can’t wait to follow along once the skating season resumes!”
