  • Great for the sport!

    Love the enthusiasm and better than the US based main athletics podcasts. Would rather listen to Podium even though I am in US. No politics just athletics! Thank you!!

  • wOw!

    Big thanks to Podium. After the ‘nonsense’ of a certain co-owner of a US-based website’s track podcast, this is a breath of fresh air. Loved the two athlete interviews I listened to thus far.

    Adding to an earlier review (above). Still enjoying it. But I could use a little less ‘where were you this weekend?’, especially if it was a cricket or tennis match, at the beginning of the pod. And, also, please cut back on the gratuitous cackling.

Grant Fisher | Double Olympic medallist
Q: What are your thoughts on transitioning to the roads, and what would drive your first marathon?
Fisher talks about the ongoing evaluation of where his strengths lie, the need for a long runway to prepare for a marathon, and the possibility of debutting before the 2028 cycle, depending on how training and opportunities align.

Grant Fisher | Double Olympic medallist
Q: Can you take us through your 2025 outdoor season and how you managed after the indoor successes in 2024?
