I wanted to like this podcast, however, I was disappointed with each episode because of poor interviewing skills—lack of depth in the questions, no lead-in for the listeners. I ended up being confused hearing some of the stories they were telling because I wasn’t sure what they were referencing. Being a former swimmer, I would’ve loved this podcast years ago, but now I feel like I’m too old and I have no idea what they’re talking about. They need to include more background and explanations simp... more
I have been listening since the beginning and have never been disappointed by Missy, Katie or Beisel. They are all such legends in the sport. They know how to bring a smile to anyone’s face with their fun loving personalities! I love how they get to know each swimmer so personally. And, to them if they are reading this, please get Lèon Marchand and Ilya Kharun on!
This podcast is a highlight of the week. I so look forward to each episode dropping and seeing who they’ll have on next. I love the mix of guests they’ve had so far, but am looking forward to more of the swimming stars of the past. Thanks for all you do to elevate swimming a little higher.
I love all the swimmers they have on the show! It’s so nice to listen to their stories and experiences. They also have such good advice for meets too!
I swam competitively for 15 years, I absolutely love this podcast. It allows me to keep in touch with the sport that I love. I also really appreciate the special focus on wellness and mental health. Katie and Missy are absolutely incredible in the way they navigate the interviews and it helps the listener really get to know the athletes. Highly recommend!!!
