Anastasia Bucsis is simply one of the best interviewers out there. This show is interesting way beyond the field of play, always getting the best out of her guests. And the guests are usually good too!

What stands out is that these are chats with people first, who just happen to be great athletes. Anastasia brings out their essence with short, direct questions that allows the players to be the real voice of her podcast. Many interviewers could learn a lot from her!

Anastasia does a masterful job of getting information out of her interviewees and creating terrific interest in their sports, their lives, and all the subjects that come up along the way. All with a delightful Canadian charm.

Like many I love the olympics and particularly the gymnastics I enjoyed listening to Ellie black many times over and am so happy with how many sports were incorporated. I hope to see more of the WAG interviews!❤️👍🤸‍♂️

great podcast, love the host and the stories

I love hearing the stories, but the host is truly cringe worthy. The bad jokes, being overly friendly “hey bud” and just doesn’t seem respectful of the athletes’ time.

If you participate, follow or simply enjoy amateur sport, this podcast is for you. The host has really grown on me and I love her questions and playful demeanor. The guests are also those whom you may not have always heard of, but always learn something from. Highly recommended!

Today’s podcast with Jessica Tuomela was outstanding She is charming and articulate. I appreciated how she was allowed to relate her story with minimal interruption.

Georges Laraque has such infectious energy and optimism. What a decent human being to go through everything he’s gone through and have the humanity to not want revenge, but to empathize with others that have been marginalized and help raise them up. Very inspiring. ❤️ him! Great interview thanks

I love listening to this brilliant interviewer ask questions of her guests that are answered with human and vulnerable responses. It is wonderful to hear their story this way. It is hilarious and fun and truthfully reinvigorates my love for Canada and sports.

Anastasia has incredibly articulate, meaningful questions with such a positive attitude towards an awesome and diverse group of top tier Canadian athletes so far. Can’t wait for more, it’s getting me through my long training rides.🙏🏻❤️

I’m a fan of this podcast. Anastasia does a great job and think it’s awesome that there’s a CBC platform for athletes to discuss experiences and critical topics. Keep up the good work! 👍

The conversations touch upon so much of the human experience. In particular, I like listening to this podcast with my thirteen-year-old daughter, as the recurring themes of goal setting, overcoming adversity, and recognizing the support of other are excellent life lessons.

Fantastic podcast. Anastasia Bucsis lets us in on the fun as she speaks with Canada’s best athletes.

Absolutely love this podcast. Once an episode is complete, I await anxiously for the next!
ArchieShans via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/22/19
The friendships and trust and trust between Anastasia and all her guests makes this podcast special. I love that it includes lesser known sports and stars and gets real about struggles and how they got to where they are. And behind the scenes stories about Olympic parties and friendships are fun.

I like this podcast! I just wish the sound quality was better. Unable to listen to it on my commute because the sound is too low.

Players own BS more like it. Worst theme song I’ve ever heard and I personally have no interest in Audible. There are far better Olympic podcast out there.

As a former college athlete this is just like two teammates sititng down to chat, love it!

A little disappointed in the Patrick chan interview. What I love about this podcast is the raw conversation. The extra music and sound bites put in there made it feel too produced and like other interviews you typically hear. I also missed having some of the fun questions and story telling.

This is a unique take on interviewing athletes. Honest, entertaining.. CBC is onto something here.

It’s too bad that the sound quality is so awful. Was looking forward to it. The interviewer can you some sounds training. Scott’s voice was clear. That’s about it
