The other host talks a bit too much and overshadows the other two. There were points in the men’s free skate analysis where I really wanted to hear more from Adam Rippon and Ashley Wagner about Olympic pressure and such, but Sarah Hughes kept dominating the conversation. Also how about inviting some great past skaters for interviews…Michelle Kwan, Na... more

Please keep doing what you’re doing, especially during the Olympics where I very much LOVE my post-watch evening walks where I listen to each event’s debrief to feel comforted... more

  • Great podcast

    I’m a gymnastics fan that likes to watch skating. I was looking for something similar to GymCastic to inform me of all the things I don’t know about skating. Love this podcast! Love the dynamic between the hosts and it’s informative without being boring. So glad I found this!
