Sam Short had a historic summer that saw him break numerous barriers and top the podium nearly every time he got in the pool. At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Short swept the 400-800-1500 freestyles and led off Australia's winning 4x200 free relay. Two weeks later, at the Pan Pacific Championships, he swept the same three events, breaking Ian Thorpe's 400 free meet record from 1999 and Grant Hackett's Australian record in the 1500 from 2001.  Today, Short sits down with SwimSwam to reflect on his remarkable consistency throughout the season and dissect his best races. We also speak about Johannes Liebmann's newly minted 14:26 world record in the 1500 and which world record Short would break if he could pick one.

In June 2021, 35-year-old Anteeatta "Tee" Swims was preparing for a fresh start. After years of trying to save her marriage, she had made the difficult decision to leave her husband and begin a new chapter. But before she had the chance, Tee disappeared. For two days, her family received strange text messages they knew she hadn't written. Then the truth came to light. On this episode of Black Girl Gone, I tell the story of Tee Swims, the life she built as a beloved educator, the relationship she fought to save, and the devastating events that ended her life just as she was preparing to walk away.

Every coastal people on earth knows the same rule: if something takes you in the water, you swim for shore. The shore is safety. The A-mi-kuk does not care about the shore. Four long arms. No legs. A body of slick, naked hide, like an animal that was skinned and never got the message. It rises up under kayaks off the Alaskan coast and drags men down into the silt. And when you claw your way onto the mud, certain you have survived it, it keeps coming. It swims through solid ground the way it swims through the sea. Under the tundra. Under the ice. Under the floor of your house. This week, Carman goes into the folklore of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, separates the real ethnographic record from a century of cryptid encyclopedias copying each other, and tells the story of two brothers, a fishing net, and a thing that peels its victims out of their own skin. Because the A-mi-kuk was never a story about the sea. It was a story about the fact that the ground is a promise nobody ever actually made you.

Water is the oldest promise we have. Baptism, ablution, the plunge that separates who you were from who you're about to be. Every summer we go back to it — lakes, rivers, the cold shock of an ocean in June — as if some part of us still believes the water knows something. Kate Washington, on a recent California Sun Podcast, talks to me about the fifty immersions she did before her fiftieth birthday, after caregiving and motherhood and a dissolving marriage had emptied her out.

Trip 2 Carp Fishing - 2026I wasn't sure I'd even make it out this week. With a house full of sick people, I was convinced it was only a matter of time before I went down with it myself. Thankfully, I stayed well enough to take a chance and load the car.With Monday night forecast as a washout, I had to think carefully about venue choice. Meadow Lake was ruled out straight away, leaving the club lake as the best option—despite fallen trees, closed swims, and water levels sitting right on the edge of flooding. As it turned out, those closed swims worked in my favour, giving me more space and less pressure.In this session I talk through my approach on a shallow, bait-boat-dominated lake, why I avoid spombing here, and how my simple “chuck-and-dump” baiting strategy helps keep the carp confident. Three spots, three hookbaits, steady pressure, and classic winter conditions set the scene.Mid-afternoon, the right-hand rod tore off and resulted in a hard-fighting 21lb 3oz common—a result I genuinely didn't expect given how quiet the lake felt afterward. Silent nights, dropping temperatures, and tricky conditions followed, making that early bite feel even more special.A realistic winter session: one chance, one fish, and plenty of lessons. With February approaching and daylight stretching out, I'm hopeful things will soon start to turn.Until next time,Be luckyRichard

Writer Ben Fountain returns to the show to talk about his new novel, Rasputin Swims the Potomac, a hilarious and provocative exploration of why President Trump and his brand of politics have prevailed in the US for over a decade.  Thank you for listening!

“The hyperreal is the real. The surreal is the real in The United States. We've reached that point. The absurd is the real. And so that's what I was trying to capture in the book.” — Ben Fountain Our absurdist-in-chief wants a $250 banknote with his face on it. But the satirist Ben Fountain gives the President something even more valuable. In his new novel Rasputin Swims the Potomac, Fountain delivers something quite priceless: a book that Trump deserves. In Fountain's novel, a sitting president, running for a third term, enlists a world champion professional wrestler, Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin, to help secure his re-election. Born Patrick Walsh Strickland in Buffalo, New York, Rasputin served in special forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, spent six years in a monastery, became fluent in Russian, and claims to be a real Russian monk. Evangelicals start defecting to Rasputin. A pandemic of “weeping sickness” sweeps the nation. It's almost as unbelievable as a sitting President wanting a $250 banknote glowing with his orange face. Fountain's parallels with late Tsarist Russia are hard to miss — the chasmic wealth inequality, the impossible get-rich schemes, the quack religions, the gilded decadence, the dying social classes, the mad politicians. It's scary stuff. Fountain says that we should even be careful taking his summer novel to the beach. Rather than Jaws-dropping, Rasputin Swims the Potomac, he warns, might bite us back. Maybe we should put Ben Fountain's face on that $250 bill. Five Takeaways •       The Hyperreal Is the Real: America Has Beaten Its Satirists: When Fountain sat down to write the book in early 2023, he was thinking about the blurring of the line between reality and fantasy in American life. Trump, throughout his career, has blurred that line to masterful effect. Fountain's question: what would be the next step on that continuum? His answer: professional wrestling — famously fake, scripted, and yet real, happening in real flesh and blood. Suppose a wrestler ran for president as his wrestling persona, with the fake baked in and everyone knowing it's fake. Suppose the country buys it. Because the hyperreal is the real. The surreal is the real. America has already reached that point. •       Why Wrestling, Not Politics: Jesse Ventura — “Jesse the Body” — ran for governor of Minnesota and won. But he ran as Jesse Ventura himself. Fountain's innovation: a wrestler who runs as his or her wrestling persona, with the character fully intact. Rasputin — born Patrick Walsh Strickland in Buffalo, special forces veteran, six years in a Russian monastery, world champion wrestler in Japan, legally changed name — never breaks character. He is the historical Rasputin, back from the dead, a holy man of the Russian Orthodox Church. Evangelicals start defecting to him because he's speaking their language. The fake is the real. •       Late Tsarist Russia and Contemporary America: Striking Parallels: Fountain read three or four biographies of the historical Rasputin. The deeper he got, the more striking the parallels. Late Tsarist Russia: extreme wealth inequality, get-rich schemes everywhere in St Petersburg and Moscow, quack religions and spiritualists plying their trade, extreme decadence among the upper classes. A social structure that could not be maintained. People's emotional responses to chaos. Fountain: not just in material terms but in terms of how people were feeling, the parallels to the United States are really striking. Gogol, not Baudrillard, is his natural ancestor. •       The Satirist as Realist: Andrew raises Baudrillard and hyper-realism. Fountain's response: he is a realist down to his bones. Whatever he does, it has to be anchored in some fundamental sense in the real world, as he understands it. American life has become such that the surreal is the real, the comical is the real, the absurd is the real. He didn't set out to write satire. He set out to write the story as genuinely and authentically as he could. The question of genre came afterwards, asked by other people. He is just a realist. It's just that American reality is Rasputin swimming the Potomac. •       Living in the Belly of the Beast: Dallas and North Carolina: Fountain lived in Dallas, Texas for forty-one years — what he calls the most American city of all, better and worse. In Dallas, the free market and capitalism are so much a part of daily consciousness that there's very little awareness that there might be different ways of living. Fountain: it's very conservative and very conservative. For someone to the left of Gandhi, his assumptions are always being challenged. He has to think about how he's thinking about things. That productive discomfort — not Brooklyn, not Los Angeles — is where this book comes from. About the Guest Ben Fountain is the author of Rasputin Swims the Potomac (Flatiron Books, June 9, 2026), Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (National Book Critics Circle Award winner, National Book Award finalist), Beautiful Country Burn Again, and Brief Encounters with Che Guevara (PEN/Hemingway Award). He is the recipient of the Joyce Carol Oates Prize, the Thomas Wolfe Prize, and a Whiting Writers Award. He lives in New Bern, North Carolina. References: •       Rasputin Swims the Potomac by Ben Fountain (Flatiron Books, June 9, 2026).

After a few months away, Watts & Wheels returns for the fifth episode of season 1, with William Kelly in studio and Duncan McLeod dialling in from the Southern Cape. Watch episode 5 now In episode 5, William and Duncan dive into: • The new Suzuki Across, an entry-level SUV priced from R350 000 to R465 000 that squares up against Suzuki's own Grand Vitara – and the welcome return of physical knobs and buttons, a trend Volkswagen is following, too. • Dongfeng's expanding EV range – the Nami 01, Nami 06 and E3 – a clutch of sub-R500 000 models turning up the heat in South Africa's budget EV price war. • Why fuel pain may be a tipping point: AutoTrader reports a jump in EV searches after the latest petrol and diesel hikes, with cheap used EVs vanishing fast. • The spiralling cost of car ownership, from ad valorem “bracket creep” to research showing it takes nearly 15 000 minimum-wage hours to buy a VW Polo locally, against roughly 1 600 in the UK. • A Polo milestone – 500 000 of the current generation exported – and finance minister Enoch Godongwana lifting the ministerial car price cap to R1.1-million. • Whether Johannesburg's City Power should be rolling out public EV chargers while it struggles to keep the lights on. The “Crazy Chinese” segment serves up a Yangwang – BYD's luxury arm – swimming across a lake, before the episode's highlight: an in-studio interview with Gary Davies, the South African behind a purpose-built electric game-viewing vehicle. Dubbed the “Bentley of the bush”, it pairs a 63kWh battery and two 150kW motors with clip-on body panels and a biomimicry-inspired cooling fan, engineered locally with the University of Pretoria.

Kate Washington spent years giving everything to everyone else — caregiving, motherhood, a failing marriage — until she was empty. Her answer was cold water: 50 dunks in California rivers, creeks, and swimming holes before her 50th birthday. The author of "Midstream: A Life Remade in 50 Swims," she shares her story about joy and water as an act of reclamation.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into a wild festival moment as David Lee Roth makes a surprise appearance at the Stagecoach Festival! Joining forces once again with Teddy Swims, the two deliver an electrifying performance of the Van Halen classic “Jump,” following Swims' standout sets at Coachella. After performing tracks like “Mr. Know It All” and “Some Things I'll Never Know” from his debut album I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), Swims brings Roth onstage for a high-energy moment that has the crowd singing along and throwing their fists in the air. Roth opens up about their creative connection, describing it as a “wabi-sabi disposition,” and shares his thoughts on how rock & roll culture continues to evolve. We also talk about Roth's reflections on the changing music landscape, the crossover of rock into festivals like Stagecoach, and why “Jump” remains such a powerful anthem decades later. #VanHalen #DavidLeeRoth #TeddySwims #Stagecoach

Fewer than 50 people on the planet have completed the Oceans Seven Challenge. Putting that in perspective over 7,000 people have summited Mt. Everest , Steve “Moby” Leitch is one swim away from being in such an elite club. You can train for months and still get humbled in minutes when the ocean decides to change the rules. After swimming the Strait of Gibraltar from Europe to Africa, elite endurance athlete, Steve “Moby” Leitch, joins us to break down what makes ultra marathon open water swimming so unforgiving: funnelled currents where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, tight wind restrictions, and real-world hazards like commercial freighters.Steve is a member of the Greenville Splash Masters in South Carolina and is coached by Carolyn Moore and Leslie Scott. We also go deeper than one crossing. Steve shares how he returned to swimming after decades away, how 15+ years of sobriety reshaped his definition of strength, and why these Ocean Seven Challenge swims are “sweat equity” that helps fund long-term sobriety living facilities. Along the way we talk about the behind-the-scenes reality that most highlights never show: nausea, cramps, cold water, sleep struggles, and the mental handbrake that tries to pull you out before your body is actually done.What makes this conversation special is the inspiration and the team element. Steve explains how his wife Kelly supports him on the boat with preparation, feeding, and calm communication under pressure, and why that partnership has strengthened their marriage. If you're a masters swimmer, triathlete, or anyone searching for practical endurance training advice, you'll take away a clear framework: train for the worst day, keep your self-talk simple, and anchor every hard stroke to a purpose bigger than the finish.You'll hear:• why the Strait of Gibraltar is uniquely hard with currents, wind rules, and shipping traffic• how Steve returns to swimming after decades away and builds a life around faith, family, and sobriety• why (Steve's wife) Kelly's role on the boat matters and how their swim communication strengthens their marriage• what “endurance” means beyond fitness and how training for worst-case conditions builds it• how sprint work, strength training, mobility, and sleep support long channel swims• mental self-talk in the pain cave and the simple reset of one stroke at a time• English Channel and Cook Strait moments with cramps, sickness, cold, and being pushed off course• using an honest past to help others through addiction recovery and long-term sobriety housing• what a champion mindset means when you stop trying to fit in• the final Ocean Seven target with Catalina and why the next swim is always the hardestIf this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a comeback story, and leave us a review so more swimmers can find the show.Email us at HELLO@ChampionsMojo.com.

Even Fox News is leaning into the glow-up, hailing Catherine, Princess of Wales as the “Sporty Spice Princess.”During a visit to Wakefield Trinity Rugby League Club, Kate spoke about playing “loads of netball” at school and joked that she avoids roughhousing with Prince George at home. “George, now, if we play at home, I do not want to get tackled by George!” she laughed.Royal commentators say her athletic streak continues to impress, from rugby drills and tennis to sailing, curling and field hockey. Broadcaster Helena Chard said she has “definitely earned her nickname,” while Hilary Fordwich noted Prince William once called her love of wild swimming “slightly bonkers.”Off the field, she's just as relatable. The Oxford Mail reported Kate quietly cheering on Prince Louis at a local football match in Wargrave, dressed casually with her hair in a ponytail. One dad said, “She was very nice and friendly… If the parents had flags, they'd be waving them.”Kate has also spoken openly about how public engagements are helping her recovery, telling well-wishers in Wales that meeting people is “good for my soul.”Add in praise for her thoughtful fashion choices, famously roomy umbrellas, homemade jam gifts and even William's strict “Never put nuts in a brownie” baking rule, and the narrative is clear: steady, sporty and serenely in control.Behind the scenes, however, tensions are reportedly simmering as William and Kate prepare for a major U.S. visit, with insiders claiming Meghan Markle feels increasingly overshadowed by the Waleses' rising popularity in America.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

What if your 60s is your prime? We sit down with Janet Carbin—a CBS Survivor Season 39 favorite, veteran swim coach, and one of the few female chief lifeguards in the country—to unpack the mindset, training habits, and nutrition choices that keep her strong in open water and in life. Janet brings a rare mix of humility and edge: she earns respect by doing the work, leads by example, and shows how authenticity can be a competitive advantage when the clock doesn't lie. And Janet loves Masters Swimming!Janet breaks down the mental models that carry her through discomfort, from framing tough days as “five 500s” to practicing hard skills until they feel simple. She takes us behind the scenes of her Survivor prep—learning to start fire without flint, drilling balance challenges, and building resilience for cold, rain, and social stress. We talk candidly about injuries, shoulder surgeries, and how to reinvent your relationship with sport at 60 by moving daily, adding variety, and redefining success beyond old personal bests.We also dig into performance nutrition and why Janet calls sugar “poison” for long-term health and recovery. Expect practical guidance on when electrolytes actually matter, how to spot junk disguised as protein, and why real food supports consistent training. Leadership is the throughline: earn it, own it, and stay open enough to learn from the 17-year-olds on your team. If you're navigating age, comeback goals, or a new chapter, this conversation offers a clear framework—be direct with yourself, move every day, fuel well, and practice the hard thing until it's yours.If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

What does it take to win national swimming titles while working chaotic ER shifts and raising a competitive family? In this encore episode, we sit down with masters legend and ER physician Kurt Dixon to unpack the habits, mindset, and simple systems that keep him fast at 54—and grounded through real-life storms. Kurt's résumé is staggering: 100+ U.S. masters national wins, world records, the Triple Crown of Marathon Swimming, and Ironman finishes. Yet his playbook is refreshingly unfancy: repeatable sets, six days a week in the water, no strength training, and a taper built on broken 200s to spark race speed. He talks candidly about racing anxiety, why practice times don't predict his meets, and how to stay calm when the late-race pain hits in the 1000 and 1650.We also explore the mental framework that turns adversity into fuel. After job upheaval, family crises, and the pandemic, Kurt rebuilt with a three-part response: forgive to clear mental space, choose better environments and patience, then harness primal energy into training. That shift led to one of his best competitive years. You'll hear how he uses long swims to focus, how ER trauma changes the way he defines pressure, and why consistent naps and weekly yoga matter more with age. He shares injury lessons, simple shoulder prehab, and technique tweaks that protect joints without sacrificing speed.On the personal side, Kurt's humor shines. He loves milk chocolate and M&Ms, trains mostly alone, and jokes about buoyancy over body composition. His wife—a decorated cyclist—pushes him with epic rides, and their family has racked up miles and memories traveling to events. For masters swimmers, triathletes, and endurance fans, this conversation is packed with practical training tips, taper tactics, recovery strategies, and performance mindset tools you can use right away.If this story resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a spark, and leave a quick review to help others find us.
