The first Junior Grand Prix event of the skating season has just completed, and we're here to break it all down! We discuss Russian dominance in pairs and ladies, the importance of choreographing to fit a specific skater, and how much a young skater can change from one season to the next in the Junior ranks.

The new figure skating season has begun! We begin with a discussion of Denis Ten's legacy and his sad passing, and follow with a breakdown of the first Challenger event of the season, looking at how the new judging rules are being implemented, the many new changes to ice dance, and the readiness of skaters' new programs this early in August.

The 2018 Grand Prix series assignments have been announced, and we break down the newly formed Grand Prix Finland, possibilities for various TBD spots, and the many many fascinating head-to-head match ups coming our way this Grand Prix season.

We're back for part two of our breakdown of the 2018 ISU Congress, including discussions of how much limiting quad repetitions might affect men's skating, the pros and cons of judging GOE and PCS separately, and how ice dance is changing, and will continue to change in the future.

The 2018 ISU Congress has concluded, and we've waded through all of the documents to break down the details for you of all the figure skating related proposals. We discuss how to best ensure effective judging, how to balance TES and PCS in men's skating, and how to manage an online skating music library in part one of our ISU Congress recap!

We catch up on discussing some skating related shows this week, by breaking down the Canadian Stars on Ice tour and the figure skaters on the latest season of Dancing With the Stars. We get nostalgic about Elvis Stojko and Jeff Buttle, debate who the better dancer was on DWTS, and discuss the portrayal of Tonya Harding's redemption arc on the show.

In our last best of list, we break down this season's toughest category, the ladies. There were so many exceptional ladies this season, it was hard to choose the best. We make hard choices and share with you the programs we'll be re-watching in years to come.

For our next season's best list we take a look at the men. We break down our highlights from a somewhat rough season for the men, and discuss one of our favourite programs across all disciplines, some of the best choreographers currently working in skating, and how to judge the effectiveness of repeated programs in different seasons.

In our second best of the 2017/18 season wrap-up episodes, we break down our favourite ice dance programs of the season. We try to figure out just how Marie-France Dubreuil is able to choreograph successfully for so many different teams, and debate the merits of Latin short dances which are generic versus very specific in the image they're trying to portray.

In the first of our year-end season's best lists, we break down our favourite pairs' programs of the 2017/18 season. We both have very different lists, which results in some debate about the merits of a few teams' short and free programs, and a very surprising first place program.
