  • Becoming an annoying infomercial

    There is still a lot of interesting content, but it’s becoming increasingly less appealing with the constant product promotion. It used to be possible to fast-forward through the adverts, but now the promotions form large parts of many of the interviews.

  • 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!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Claudio Berardelli | Coach of Sabastian Sawe and Emmanuel Wanyonyi on world records, future targets and life in Kenya
Q: Can you see that world record in the men's side go soon? Is Wanyonyi in shape to target that?
Berardelli believes the 800-meter record will eventually fall, but says Wanyonyi's 1:41.11 leaves a substantial gap. He says the group will try again and focus on developing Wanyonyi, while recognizing the event's fine margins and the strength of other contenders.
Claudio Berardelli | Coach of Sabastian Sawe and Emmanuel Wanyonyi on world records, future targets and life in Kenya
Q: Why do you think there's such a problem in Kenya? And what do you do with your athletes to make sure that the temptation isn't there, or they don't go the wrong direction?
Berardelli says young athletes can be targeted by people who profit from doping, particularly as they move from school into semi-professional running. His group uses frequent testing, meetings, camp routines, and contracts directing prize money to anti-doping if an athlete tests positive.
Phily Bowden | Elite British marathon runner and content creator
Q: How do you tackle that and how much responsibility? How do you avoid putting out rubbish advice?
Bowden tries to make her content approachable while explaining when her training is specific to an elite athlete. She says creators should provide context and warn viewers against practices that are unsuitable or unhealthy for most runners.
Phily Bowden | Elite British marathon runner and content creator
Q: How do you cope with those fears and sort of those doubts that are kind of inevitable when you've got a big goal?
Bowden says she reminds herself that nerves are normal because she cares about the goal, talks through her feelings, and keeps going despite them. She has also worked with her sports psychologist on techniques to calm nerves before races.
Round-Up | Diamond League 2027 set, results, moment of 2026 and what goes into being a commentator?
Q: What does athletics commentary preparation and work behind the scenes involve?
The hosts describe reviewing entry and start lists, researching athletes and event statistics, using media notes, coordinating with co-commentators and producers, and keeping commentary focused on adding context to the pictures.
