Podcasts about enhanced games

Join Mike, Ross and the chief sportswriter at The Guardian, Sean Ingle, as we look ahead to the biggest events in 2026. From the Winter Olympics to the World Cup in football, 2026 will be packed with plenty of drama and, no doubt, controversy. The team discusses the inclusion of new events at the Winter Games, how the three-country host format at the World Cup may affect results, whether the Commonwealth Games have a future beyond this year, and whether the Enhanced Games will live up to the hype. Plus, we talk about the biggest stories in track and field, cycling, swimming and golf and offer some predictions. It's the perfect way to start your sporting year. Hosted on Acast.

Cody Miller signing onto to the Enhanced Games was a curveball, but not wholly unexpected, which is partly why we asked Miller to come on the podcast. For the record: SwimSwam has no commercial or financial affiliation with the Enhanced Games. We are covering it journalistically. That will make some people uncomfortable. But discomfort isn't a disqualifier, especially when the moment is this consequential.

CONTENT WARNING: Nothing too scandalous is talked about in this episode, but we do refer to the platform OnlyFans and if you are a parent, maybe listen to this episode first before letting someone under 18 listen! If you are under 18, please talk to your parent, guardian, or trusted adult before listening. With that said, this is our next episode in our series of "ethical debates" in climbing and sport. We start with the apparent glorification of danger, specifically free soloing and highballing and how it relates to the age of social media and click baiting. We then discuss how OnlyFans has been offering athletes contracts to endorse their platform and use it however they want to--we discuss whether this would change your career as a professional athlete or limit potential opportunities. That leads to a discussion about the use of athletes to garner positive public perception and how the "Enhanced Games" are doing just that for big pharma and venture capitol firms. We also go a bit more climbing specific and talk about whether it still counts as a "flash" if you've trained on a 3D printed replica before trying an outdoor boulder. This was spicier than our typical episodes so PLEASE let us know what you think!

The International Olympic Committee are reportedly going to move to protect women's sport by preventing trans identified males and athletes with DSDs from competing in women's sport. Will this come to pass? We discuss reports on the shift in policy, and raise some key questions. Will the IOC compel screening for sex and testing for advantage? Will they include DSDs in the policy? Will sports be obliged to comply, or remain able to govern eligibility as they please?18:32. Antagonism in antidoping continues, with shots fired between WADA and USADA, this time over The Enhanced Games. WADA think USADA should be doing more to stop the Games, but USADA say they have no authority to act. We discuss their remits, and the damaging mistrust that now exists between them. We also talk about the threat of the Enhanced Games, and USADA's perceptions of why athletes are joining "the doping Olympics"28:59. Staying on doping, US Sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams has been banned for 45 months. The 2022 100m silver medalist got a reduced sentence for co-operation, and we wonder what he shared with authorities, and whether the investigative approach will produce future sanctions?34:09. Chinese teen prodigy Yu Zidi has continued her ascent to the summit of swimming, with a 200m individual medley record that puts her into the conversation for future world and Olympic medalists. We wonder what her trajectory looks like, using a previous Chinese teen phenom to offer a dose of reality.42:18. And Finally, tennis, with another "battle of the sexes" match in December between Aryna Sabelenka and Nick Kyrgios, with a few modifications to neutralize men's power. We talk about those changes, then finish up with a quirky look at the men's tennis rankings that reflect the extraordinary dominance of the current top two.LinksIOC moves to protect women's sportWADA reckons USADA can do more to stop The Enhanced Games from proceedingUSADA does not agree, and respond with some hostilityUSADA statement on the 45 month ban for Marvin Bracy-WilliamsYu Zidi's 200m medley performance sending waves into swimmingKyrgios is confident ahead of the gimmicky battle of the sexes match Hosted on Acast.

Happy Halloween week! We're getting into the spooky spirit with some wild trick-or-treating facts, a recap of Erin's trunk-or-treat experience, and a trip to a nature-themed Halloween event at Hawk Mountain. We also trade stories about our very different childhood trick-or-treating memories. Then, Erin shares what it was like cheering at the Bethlehem Running Festival, where some runners were offered beer and Fireball mid-race. After a quick rant from Mike about why tea should be cheaper than coffee at restaurants, we give you the latest updates on the sports world. We discuss the emergency funding that finally allowed Grand Slam Track to pay its athletes (at least partially) and Fred Kerley's decision to join the Enhanced Games for a big payday and equity in the company.Things get weird as we discover a new, high-anxiety sport for butlers called "Tray Defense" and unpack the lawsuit claiming Arby's doesn't exactly have "the meats" it shows in its ads. We then take a horrifying journey back in time to explore the bizarre, savory gelatin "salads" of the 1950s—yes, we're talking tuna and olives in Jell-O. We also debate a new discovery of dinosaur footprints, a strange new world record for fist bumps, and share a collection of hilarious stories about parents who are hilariously bad with technology. Of course, it wouldn't be an episode without a Dan update, covering everything from his unconventional marathon training to his latest real-life superhero moment involving a fish hook and some impromptu surgery.

Elsewhere the communion faces its biggest challenge as conservative Gafcon Bishops say they will no longer recognise the Archbishop of Canterbury, in effect creating an Alternative Church.

Join Discourse! No pitch, just a link to sign up and show your support!In this week's show, we tackle intriguing physiological questions raised by listeners, explore whether different types of exercise interfere with one another to undermine training benefits, and run the Spotlight across stories from the sports world.In Digest this week (10:02):One of the great swimmers of the last decade, Ariane Titmus, has retired in her prime, leaving us to ponder the difference between athletes who go early and those who hang on. And cynically, those who switch to The Enhanced Games, which this week announced another former Olympian to its ranks. We discuss the carrot of the Enhanced Games, and how it capitalizes on incentives to entice athletes to join the movementWe wonder whether tennis players are playing too much, and whether the data support claims made by players like Taylor Fritz, who believe a combination of the calendar, courts and balls are threatening their welfare?In doping, 21% of athletes competing for Great Britain at the Commonwealth Games admitted to doping in the previous twelve months. That's only slightly better than the results of the same survey in Spanish athletes, which put the figure at 36%. Ross and Gareth discuss why the true figure is likely higher, and what it means for doping and anti-doping's effectivenessOur Center Stage topic (45:19) is a paper that explores a phenomenon called "the interference effect", where different types of exercise aimed at endurance or power/strength, have been thought to cancel each other out, undermining the adaptations from training. We explain the origins of that theory, and explore why things are not necessarily as simple as they seemed, with some practical advice for all those who like to mix their training types.In Listener Lens (1:08:33), Ali Robinson showcases what Discourse has to offer, making a fantastic observation about our most recent guest, cyclist Andrew Feather, and his physiological capacity. He introduces us to concepts of anaerobic capacity, or the W prime, and Ross explains how we can all use this concept (runners too!) to understand our performance limits, and design effective interval training sessions, including a challenge to Gareth to test his capacity and design training.And Finally, we introduce a paper on a metabolic ceiling that limits endurance athletes, with a promise to explore it in a future Spotlight editionShow notesTaylor Fritz shares views on load in tennis in an X exchange with fansTennis website with data on rally length and ace rateSurveys reveal a minimum prevalence of doping in athletesThe original WADA investigation on doping prevalence, 2011Our Center stage paper - the interference effect for power and endurance training Hosted on Acast.

When Shane Ryan turned his back on Olympic ideals to join the Enhanced Games, it sent shockwaves through Irish sport. Now we ask who and what are really driving the world's most controversial new competition. Host: Kevin Doyle                          Guests: Jacob Whitehead and Ciarán LennonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Irish Olympic swimmer Shane Ryan can now take all the performance-enhancing drugs he wants as part of his training plan.And if anabolic steroids, human growth hormone (HGH), or testosterone supplements show up in his system next May when he competes in Las Vegas, the organisers will congratulate him for playing by the rules.The Enhanced Games dubbed the Steroid Olympics – was dreamed up by Australian businessman Aron D'Souza as a sporting event that lets competitors maximise their performance by doping.Ryan, who was the first swimmer to compete in three Olympics for Ireland, says the decision to join the Enhanced Games is financial. He will, he says, be “making over six figures for nine months and then potentially making over $600,000 when it comes down the line”.But Wada (World Anti-Doping Agency) rules exist not just to level the playing field for all athletes but also to protect them from the health impacts of doping. So isn't the 31 year-old worried?Irish Times sports writer Malachy Clerkin talked to him from his new training base in Nevada.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.

Harry Styles' runs a sub three hour marathon under a bizarre alias, we break down the controversial new qualifying times for the Boston Marathon, and share the heartbreaking story of a runner who qualified but missed the registration deadline by minutes.We discuss a hilarious viral video of two friends choosing their NFL team for the season based on some... questionable criteria and give a beginner's guide to the world of fantasy football.

Thanks for tapping in again! Sorry for the short hiatus!This episode we bounced around a bit and covered some good topics including health tracking through sleep scores, the controversial signing of Fred Curley to the Enhance Games, and the implications of performance-enhancing drugs in sports.

We had such a blast recording this great episode! The main science topic was a new study on improving fatigue resistance, which performance-matched athletes with different training approaches to see what led to better outcomes. The conclusion is a direct prescription for athletes looking to have better endurance. Being who we are, we throw some scientific turds in the study's punch bowl.We also talked about the new Leadville documentary “Nothing to Lose,” which is coming out on Thursday. Yes, there was a butt shot at mile 23. But most importantly, Director Cody Bare created a beautiful film about what happens after an athlete hits rock bottom. In other words: yes, there is emotional butt too.And this one was full of the best topics! Other topics: Megan's recovery lessons after the 50 miler, blood volume responses, why we love the new product “Dream Shot” so much (plus a 25% discount code), why we are so horrified by champion sprinter Fred Kerley joining the Enhanced Games, Harry Styles running an amazing sub-3 hour marathon, plus questions on post-race blues, headlamps, cross training, relationships, ethical dilemmas with bicarb responders v. non-responders, timing of strides, overcoming plateaus, rest days, and mid-run carbs for low volume training.May all of the ways you are weird be uplifted, even when they involve sneezing and toilets for some reason (that will make sense after you listen...maybe).

0:00–15:00 — Cold open, the Wheel spins, and cursed parrots + creepy woods The rules of the game: rack up points to reach the “Tower of Truth,” fall short and it's back to the “Land of Lunacy.” First spin delivers a wild mini-doc: opium-addicted parrots raiding poppy fields in India—farmers can't stop them, and the birds crash hard when harvest ends. Sam lays out a “don't celebrate anyone's death” rant (framed around the online pile-on over Charlie Kirk), pointing at how elites love when we fight each other. Then we shift spooky: a Southern-Gothic “Granny's rules for the woods” reading—don't follow lights, don't answer your name, and if the dog won't enter, neither should you. 15:00–30:00 — Feel-good pet city → hot-button “Enhanced Games” Live chat asks about an over-the-counter aid for autistic kids; Sam promises to circle back before the end. Wholesome palate cleanser: a guy who's spent two years building a miniature town for his pets—pure internet serotonin. Big pivot: the “Enhanced Games”—a no-testing, PED-friendly league with track, swimming, and weightlifting; they even tout a record that beats an Olympic gold medalist's time. We kick around the ethics and the rubber-neck appeal. 30:00–45:00 — Viral 9/11 cheer routine in Texas + “UFO disclosure” talk We watch the jaw-dropper of the night: a high-school 9/11 cheer routine (complete with Pentagon gags and a smoke machine). The crowd reaction is… complicated, and so is ours. That segues into a guest clip arguing we're at the “finish line” of UFO disclosure thanks to recent legislation and hearings—skepticism included. 45:00–60:00 — 27 Club lore → Moon orbs → “they're selling our crap back to us” The Wheel lands on the “27 Club”: Brian Jones to Amy Winehouse, numerology riffs, and whether the pattern is myth, math, or something darker. Space weirdness break: a backyard telescope video shows a flashing red light with orbs circling the Moon—cue uneasy vibes and Moon-truth jokes. Sam cracks that Big Pharma is literally “selling our crap back to us,” after a clip about, uh, very bodily-based treatments—you get the idea. 60:00–75:00 — Sam's Corner mailbag, Satanism/Saturnism, and MKUltra/Stargate Follow-up for the dad in chat: the supplement name shared is “leucovorin” (spelled out on-air so parents can note it). A former “satanic organization” insider clip claims an evolving “agenda” through 2027—our hosts react and relate it to broader cultural patterns. Occult detour: “Satanism is Saturnism,” symbolism breakdowns (the goat, magic squares, pop-culture sigils). Then we hit MKUltra and the Army's Stargate remote-viewing program—mind control vs. psychic espionage, and what the government actually studied. 75:00–90:00 — Victory lap to 3,500 live → one last jaw-dropper → sign-off We crest 3,500 live viewers; Sam wonders if we just did our greatest episode ever, then vows to get off an “unholy number” on the wheel and into Sam's Corner. Final short: a protest-style clip that starts as “we won't be silenced” and swerves into a provocative chant—ending the show on a spicy note. Curtain call and thanks—what a ride.

A college student who debated Charlie Kirk on his campus tour says a lot of the popular right wing activist's beliefs crossed a line -- but his death is inarguably wrong. Detractors have said the privately-financed "Enhanced Games" are a "clown show". But a British swimmer says he's eager to see how far sanctioned doping can take athletes like him. As Prime Minister Mark Carney unveils the first of his "nation-building" projects, mining industry leaders are hopeful the first initiatives will pave the way for all-weather road infrastructure in the north.Scientists are amazed at the remarkable diversity of dancing peacock spiders -- and turn to an analysis of what's known as dark DNA to help untangle things. A mechanic in Texas tells us about the moment his pet pigeon went missing -- and how local police helped him track down the beloved, blind bird named Kevin.Rick Astley shares the story of hearing his 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up" in a Tokyo toilet that, oddly, was entirely dedicated to him and his music. As It Happens, the Thursday Edition. Radio that hopes the song is a Number One and Number Two hit.

In this episode, we're back to recording remotely from separate coasts. We kick things off with a rant about the annoying aspects of air travel, the absurdity of an $84 hotel breakfast buffet, and a creative marketing idea that Cracker Barrel missed after trying to change its logo. A major topic is the controversy surrounding David Goggins, as we discuss recent allegations that he is a "deadbeat dad," watch his on stage response.In sports news, we get an update on the Grand Slam Track payment failure, with a New York Times report revealing that a primary investor pulled out after the first event. We also explore the intense drug testing protocols for USATF athletes with a breakdown of "whereabouts failures," and discuss a statistic that of the 30 fastest 100 meter sprint times, only nine were run by a clean athlete, all by Usain Bolt. The Enhanced Games are back in the news, as we cover their lawsuit against organizations like World Aquatics for discouraging athletes from participating.We also cover a strange record for the most hot dogs dropped from a helicopter, the Goodyear Blimp ride we have scheduled, the FTC suing gyms like LA Fitness for making memberships difficult to cancel, and a bizarre Zillow listing of a house covered in gold foil. We wrap up the show with a "No Bad, No Sad" story about a NASCAR pit crew helping an opponent's team during a race.

This week, Laci welcomes co-hosts of the podcast, Best Friends, Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata (Grand Crew, Agatha All Along ), to discuss the Enhanced Games, a proposed international sporting event set to take place in Las Vegas in 2026. The event is being organized by Aron D'Souza and backed by controversial billionaire Peter Thiel, with the goal of creating a 'science-forward' sporting event where humanity can reach its full potential.

The Enhanced Games promises to display the "true potential" of athletes by letting them use any sort of performance enhancement drugs available when it launches in Las Vegas in 2026. Yet why would a group of Silicon Valley billionaires and venture capitalists with no interest in sports be behind it? Likely because it's all a supplements grift, as Derek and Julian discuss.
