This week on the Speak Up Sports Podcast, I am joined by MLB reporter and the co-host of MLB Central, Lauren Shehadi. We will be talking about how Lauren became interested in sports journalism, what it is liked hosting a show every weekday, and so much more! 

Senior Reporter AJ Perez investigated Minnesota's football program and found unsettling allegations suggesting a "cult-like atmosphere" under head coach P.J. Fleck. Perez joins Front Office Sports Today to dive into what he uncovered at the University of Minnesota, and how this — along with the allegations of hazing at Northwestern University — could be the beginning of a new wave of unearthing toxic culture within college sports. Plus, we hear from MLB Network's Mark DeRosa, Lauren Shehadi, and Robert Flores as they celebrate their 750th episode hosting "MLB Central." They share their thoughts on the long-running show, as well as their take on the new rules and potential landing spots for Shohei Ohtani.

Olympians in Beijing are proudly donning their matching national uniforms from the ice and snow to the dining hall. Despite, or perhaps because of that uniformity, small gestures and equipment choices are speaking volumes about the athletes who populate the results sheet. One athlete and one sport seem to be getting their message across quite well: Andrew Blaser in Skeleton. He joins Lauren Shehadi to explain why equipment choice can be so much more.

Recent Winter Games have seen less-than-abundant natural snow. But that hasn't changed the forecast for incredible performances.So what does a winter athlete's life look like with a lot less winter? American aerial skiers Ashley Caldwell and Justin Schoenefeld join host Lauren Shehadi to share how their journey to the games involves more days in the pool than on snow. Listen to Season 3 of The Podium from NBC Sports.

Biathlon is a fan-filled, high-drama and celebrity-making sport, just not in the US. And yet Amercian biathletes are etching their way into the competitive landscape abroad with every rifle shot and ski stroke.  Lowell Bailey, director of high performance at US Biathlon and current competitor Clare Egan take contrast their stateside and European realities and give us insight into the last winter olympic sport their nation has yet to medal in. Join host Lauren Shehadi on season 3 of The Podium from NBC Sports.

In the mid 2010s Curling, both Hardline Curling and American Olympic medalist curler John Shuster were facing a huge challenge from the powers governing this centuries-old sport. Hardline had come up with a controversial and revolutionary sweeping pad and Shuster has been dropped by USA Curling.  Their next moves would have lasting impacts on the game you'll see in February.Both join host Lauren Shehadi to share their stories of early success, tumult and vindication in a time known as "broomgate".  Listen to Season 3 of NBC Sports' The Podium.   

Only 1.8% of US ski area users are Black, leaving minority skiers and snowboarders with little representation at the top levels of the sport. Andre Horton, the first able-bodies black skier on the US Ski Team and Brian Rice, the first black snowboarder to be sponsored by a major US ski resort, join host Lauren Shehadi to discuss the experience of being a rarity in the lift line, the vibrant and supportive community they discovered within Black ski culture and the pipeline for putting more minorities in the mountains and on the podium.

Quadruples are the culmination of generations of figure skating and snowboarding progress. Axels or Corks, these maneuvers defy what was thought possible for Olympic athletes.

The tradeoff between the raw ability of fresh joints and the savvy of a mature mind used to be linear, with each slice of cake predictably and measurably pushing an athlete from precocious prodigy to washed up veteran. But this summer, Tokyo will host Gen-Z with veteran pedigrees right next to athletes staying physically competitive far past what was previously considered retirement age. One constant appears: why one competes is far more important than when. Ahmed Fareed sits in for Lauren Shehadi to explore how swimmer Brent Hayden mounted a successful comeback a decade after his retirement and we hear from Olympic and Paralympic phenoms on their journeys through precocious high-performance childhoods. Join us for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium.

What would you label a group of athletes responsible for the majority of medals for the most decorated nation in the last 2 Olympics? Winners. A group who has fought for over a century to go from 2% of Olympic Athletes to 49%? Trailblazers. And what if this same group was routinely cast as less capable, exciting, profitable and valuable athletes? We're talking about the American women and women in the Olympics. For being incredible athletes and so much more, there is one label that fits better than most: Champions. Hear our conversation with Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger on how sports and the games are changing from their unique perspective as female Olympians, spouses of female athletes, activists and mothers. Mary Carillo tells the story of how Wilma Rudolph's resolve took her from childhood leg braces to Olympic track stardom and civil rights activism. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium.

The Olympics conjure the image of single-mindedness, of an athlete's individual effort to improve, culminating in a medal whose ribbon only fits one. However, the Olympic pursuit is anything but. The reality is that those lofty goals are reached from atop a mountain of support and accomplishment from family, both blood and chosen. From the front stoop to the podium step, gold at the Games is a decidedly family affair. Hear how canoe slalom contender Jess Fox and her nine “paddling” family members stay afloat in all their trophies. Listen to how marrying a fellow high jumper has allowed Ty Butts and Roderick Townsend to raise the bar. Get insight into Olympic support systems and pressures from experts Tim Layden and Mike Gervais. Ahmed Fareed tells the story, and incredible history, of the Montano Fencing Dynasty. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium.

An Olympic athlete's career defining performance may last just seconds, but before and after it lie hours of logistics, warmups, and waiting in “ready rooms.” While they might sound tedious, those moments are often full of team-building, mind games and obstacles that come to define the athlete experience and actually contribute, in no small part, to the golden outcomes. Feel the energy of the aquatics ready-room with 2-time gold medalist Lilly King and hear about other defining moments unseen, from Kerri Walsh Jennings' porta potty mishaps to Chase Kalisz's video game rivalries and Brooke Raboutou's explanation of isolation rooms for climbing events. Ahmed Fareed tells the story of how Josy Barthel's unexpected win threw a wrench into a very customary post-win moment. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium.

Second place, silver medal, best of the rest. The Sports world seems obsessed with differentiating performances that are, to the hundredth of second, incredibly similar. We explore the unique mindset of aiming for gold, why second is proven to be the least satisfying podium finish and how expecting the best of athletes is different from expecting 1st place. Hear Ryan Murphy's take on golden expectations, both external and self-imposed. Understand the psychology at play with Dr. Mike Gervais of the Finding Mastery Podcast and relive how Mackayla Maroney's disappointment with Silver became the most viral photo of 2012. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium.

Japan, by its language, geography and history, offers a fascinatingly distinct culture. And the same applies to interests and philosophies around sport. In this episode, we dive into the host nation's own Olympic sports to experience a more authentic Tokyo Games, and how seeing the athletic world from a different lens can make it more meaningful. Feel the precision and protocol of Karate with Sakura Kokumai and Tom Scott, and get a glimpse into the wild world of professional Keirin racing with Kaarle McCullogh. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium. Episode 5 also features Mary Carillo's telling of the “Friendship Medals” of 1936.

Tokyo welcomes Skateboarding, Surfing, Sport Climbing and 3X3 Basketball into this summer's medal count, and with them a whole culture of urban and action sports. We explore these new-school events and how their development outside of the games could actually make them the perfect embodiments of old-school Olympic values. Let Todd Richards take you through the evolution of boardsports with input from riders like Nyjah Huston, Kolohe Andino and Heimana Reynolds, feel the gritty excitement of 3X3 with Kareem Maddox and Robbie Hummel, and elevate your climbing knowledge through Colin Duffy and Brooke Raboutou's vertical prowess. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium.

Mental game: two words that are as often used as they are hard to grasp. But when the stakes are highest, when all competitors have sharpened their skills and trained tirelessly, psychology may be the deciding factor-both in and out of sports. Get a glimpse inside diver David Boudia's intricate pre-performance routine, hear from Dr. Mike Gervais (from the Finding Mastery Podcast) how mental training separates good athletes from great ones and understand how these skills apply to adversity and success well beyond the Olympic Games. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium. Episode 3 features David Boudia, Dr. Mike Gervais, Tim Layden and Mary Carillo.

Every Olympics has pushed the boundaries of sports technology, but the Tokyo games will see that constant multiplied by Japan's penchant for tech. Feel how optimizing every single shape and surface propels cyclists to new speeds with Alex Howes, hear how equipment changes do more than improve performance for Tatyana McFadden, understand how old sports are improving with modern tools and go inside the broadcasting magic that transports viewers from their couch right into the action. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium. Episode 2 features Alex Howes, Tatyana McFadden, Kelsey-Lee and Mike Barber, Karl Malone, David Mazza, Tim Layden and Ahmed Fareed

The Olympic Torch's potential to inspire in times of chaos only deepens its power in the extraordinary leadup to Tokyo 2020. We start a brand new season of The Podium grasping the power of the flame. Relive Janet Evans' triumphant 1996 torch relay with Muhammad Ali, hear a first-hand account of Catriona LeMay-Doan's very public cauldron malfunction and discover how a clown saved a closing ceremony. Join host Lauren Shehadi for season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium. Episode 1 guests: Tim Layden, Janet Evans, Ahmed Fareed, Catriona Lemay-Doan and Yves Dagenais.

Over the next 12 weeks and right through to the closing ceremony, we'll bring you deep into the stories and events that have defined the Olympics and those that will shape the Tokyo games. But we'll also give you an intimate look into the unseen details that only the athletes themselves can tell. From sophisticated sports tech to athletics dynasties, opening ceremony jitters to gold medal storage tactics, experience the lead up to Tokyo with NBC Sports, the home of the Olympic and Paralympic games. Hosted by Lauren Shehadi, each episode features experts and athletes you'll recognize along with those whose story you'll be hard-pressed to forget. Prepare for season 2 of The Podium, an Olympic podcast from NBC Sports.
