  • The best biathlon podcast in English

    I am so grateful to have found this podcast. Discovered it by chance because of their interview with Regina Ermits (I am an Estonian) and am now through half of the back catalogue. Jordan and RJ are informed and engaging presenters, and I particularly enjoy how they also cover the smaller nations, that otherwise never get a mention. Thank you so much!

  • New for the 2021/22 season. English language biathlon podcast which are few and far between. Really like the pacing of these pods and the various topics covered. Feels a bit like the presenters are still finding their feet which is to be expected but hope they continue into next season.
