In today’s episode, we sit down with Paulie Throws — one of the most influential young voices in the throwing community — to talk about how social media is saving the sport. From javelin and discus to shot put and hammer, the throwing world is evolving fast, and the digital era might be its only lifeline.

We break down how creators like Paulie are using content, storytelling, and authenticity to bring new energy to throwing events, inspire the next generation, and prove that track & field can thrive in the modern age — if it learns to leverage attention.
