Podcast appearances and mentions of ben waterworth

It's one of the rare track & field disciplines we've never had the honour of talking to an athlete from, and today that changes as we dive into the epic sport of pole vault with incredible New Zealand Olympian Olivia McTaggart, who joins us for an amazing interview about her, her sport and everything else in between! We find out how a serious injury in a different sport led her to switching to pole vault, and just how she was able to adapt to it so quickly. We also learn about the endless pursuit of that next height in her sport, and the frustrations that come from constantly aiming to go just a few centimetres better. Added to that, we hear more about her Olympic experience in Paris, why the Olympics seemingly runs in her family, and just what the deal is with her Australian connection and why she competes in the black colours of New Zealand rather than the green and gold from down under. It's an amazing chat with an amazing athlete that we know you will love! So get listening!

One theme we often hear about on this show through our many athlete interviews is the struggle when it comes to funding, and how Olympians support themselves to pursue their Olympic goals. It's a complicated journey for many to receive the money to help them with their careers, with limited avenues available to them outside the traditional sponsorship route. But one man is trying to change that, with British startup founder Ben Toland founding the online crowdfunding website Fayder, which aims to help support athletes in a way never seen before. But just what is this platform? How does it work? And how can it help future Olympians succeed on their path to ultimate sporting glory? We find out more about the startup in this special interview, discovering what drew Ben to create the platform and just how far he hopes to take it. It's a fascinating insight into the world of athlete funding, and one that we know you will enjoy!

With the sports programme for the French Alps 2030 Olympics now announced, we bring you a very special EMERGENCY PODCAST to discuss everything that has been revealed and give our take on the sports, the events and everything else in between. Has Ben managed to calm himself down enough about Nordic Combined to make this episode worth listening to? Why is Colin pumped for one of the new events? Why is another event so obscure that we have no idea what it actually is? What do we think of the other recent announcements, including the logo and venues? Oh yeah, and what about that little thing involving Russia potentially being allowed to compete at the Olympics again? So much to unpack in such little time! Get your emergency ears ready and tune in to this very special episode.

Ah, 2002. What a year! Especially when it comes to the Salt Lake City Olympics. An Olympics so historic, particularly for Australia, that we often remember it through rose-coloured glasses. But what about the Opening Ceremony? How does it hold up after all these years? Well today, you're about to find out as we head back to the era of Bush, trains and plenty of bright ski jackets to revisit the first Winter Olympic Opening Ceremony of the new millennium! Does the fact it was held in a school stadium hold it back? What about having trains going down the aisles that two of our three hosts rightfully love? How about calling everyone Mitt? And now that the US men have finally won Olympic gold in ice hockey again for the first time since 1980, do we look at the Miracle on Ice team lighting the cauldron differently? And could that mean the 2026 gold medallists are a lock to do the same when the Games return to Salt Lake City? There's plenty to unpack and a lot of fun to be had as we bring you our latest Opening Ceremony review in style!

In the lead-up to the Milano Cortina Olympics, we spoke with American ski mountaineer Cameron Smith about his rise in the sport and just how close he was to achieving his Olympic dream. That dream came down to one defining race, where he and teammate Anna Gibson had to beat their Canadian rivals to secure the North American quota spot for SkiMo's Olympic debut in 2026. Not only did they beat Canada, they claimed gold, delivering the USA's first-ever SkiMo World Cup victory and locking in their place at the Olympics. In this incredible chat, Cameron takes us inside that breakthrough moment and what it meant to be part of a piece of US Olympic history.

Excited to head back to the moguls slopes today as we chat with American freestyle skiing star Nick Page about his rapid rise in the sport and his Olympic journey so far!

The Milano Cortina Olympics didn't exactly go to plan for American short track star Corinne Stoddard. Heading into her second Games with high hopes of a medal haul, a disastrous start left her on the back foot, and she also became the target of online abuse that forced her to completely switch off. But despite the setback, Stoddard bounced back in style, claiming her first Olympic medal and ending a drought for the United States in the process, silencing her doubters and securing her place in US Olympic history. In this open and honest chat, Corinne reflects on how she navigated those early challenges and turned disappointment into one of the defining moments of her career, as well as what comes next in her journey.

The 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics saw the long-awaited debut of women's doubles luge, and Canadian luger Kailey Allan was part of that historic moment when she made her Olympic debut in the event.

We find out from Kailey what makes the unique discipline so special, as well as just how much goes into creating a successful pairing.

We've finished being intercalated and can now return to regularly scheduled programming in our Games reviews as we head back to jolly old England for everything related to the 1908 London Summer Olympic Games!

On February 12, 2026, Cooper Woods ended a 7302-day wait for Australia by becoming the first Australian male Winter Olympic gold medallist since Dale Begg-Smith in men's moguls.

It's been a while since we reviewed a classic opening ceremony, but all good things come to those who wait as today we bring you our take on the incredible 1988 Seoul Olympics opening ceremony! We explore Korean culture in all its colour and symbolism, breaking down what worked, what didn't, and why this ceremony remains one of the most unique we've ever seen. Colin also explains why he believes he would've been the true star of the ceremony had he been allowed to attend, and how he's processed that injustice all these years later. We touch on what might be the greatest stadium announcer of all time, question why the Dutch needed umbrellas, and attempt to identify exactly what one of the mascots was meant to be. And of course, we talk doves — including roast doves — and ask whether we maybe, just maybe, miss the smell of burning doves in the morning. You know you've missed these moments, so get pumped for a classic opening ceremony review in true Off The Podium style.

It's been four years since we last spoke with Australian cross-country skier Seve de Campo, but the now two-time Olympian has certainly kept busy since our last chat. From making his second Olympics in Milano Cortina to becoming something of a social media star along the way, Seve continues to prove why he is one of Australia's most entertaining Olympians while also punching above his weight on the world stage. We catch up with Seve to learn about what he has been up to since our last chat, what drove him through his record-breaking second Olympic appearance, what it was like to have a front-row seat to Olympic history during those Games, and just why his social media presence makes this interview feel, at times, like a bit of a self-interview! It's another entertaining and incredible chat with one of our favourite guests that you won't want to miss!

There is no doubting that swimming is the biggest Olympic sport in Australia, and one of its brightest stars over the last three Olympics has been Brianna Throssell. The triple Olympian first caught the world's attention with her seven-medal haul at the 2014 Youth Olympics, and just two years later she was representing Australia at her first Olympics in Rio. She would go on to compete in Tokyo and Paris, retiring from the sport with four Olympic medals, including two golds.
