We're happy to have Ben Waterworth, one of the hosts of Off the Podium join us. Off the Podium is an Australian/Canadian collaboration, so we wanted to get their view on what's going on with Paris 2024. We preview some of the big sports and names and look forward to the excitement that awaits us this summer. Also, Ben tells us the issues with the Gabba, Brisbane 2032's proposed stadium.

Find Off the Podium wherever you get your podcasts and follow them on all the socials at @offthepodiumpod.

In Paris 2024 news, the podiums have been released--and like all elements of these Games, there's a lot of symbolism in them! And the official film will be directed by Jules and Gédéon Naudet. You might know them from their documentary on 9/11 (if you haven't seen it, make some time to do so!)

Plus, Mattel has released nine new Barbies to honor trailblazing athletes from around the world.

In news from TKFLASTAN, we hear from:

• Para shot putter Noelle Malkamaki
• Karate-ka Tom Scott
• Table tennis player Milly Tapper
• Commentators Olly Hogben and Blythe Lawrence
