Olympipod

The latest and most glorious season of the Olympipod has returned! And what a return – Ruth carries an injury into the recording, and has mislayed her notes. Chris brings facts and a chance meeting with an anti-doping officer. There's flops, Swedish beer bans, dislocated knees, and civil rights protests. And just how far can a tortoise jump? Not as far as a man.

Welcome back, to the Olympipod.

With just 504 short days left until the Opening Ceremony of the 33rd Olympiad, Ruth and Chris reflect on the tickets they've already nabbed, and whether they can fit surfing into their schedules. Also! Chris thinks it's a good idea to review each and every Paris Olympic Pictogram! It makes truly riveting listening. Play along on the Paris Pictogram page.

THE OLYMPIPOD IS BACK! After an unannounced and unexpected 10-month haitus, Ruth and Chris have months of out-dated news, misremembered facts, and vague recollections of previously strongly-held beliefs to catch up on.

Will an obstacle course be punched in Paris? Should you arm roller police? How many events could you fit in a pool?

All this and more in our second ever Intercalated Olympipod.

Delivering yesterday's news, today! Also huge pretzels, curling, and ice tug-of-war.

Statements are retracted about, curling is curled, and Chris runs to catch a train.

She's back from audio quarantine and now Ruth has opinions about ice hockey and Chris's professional skiing career. Also - what makes a Bøathlon a Bøathlon?

Beijing 2022 is officially the most Olympipod-y of any Winter Olympics.

The scandals keep on rolling, and the characters keep on being characters.

Also, Ruth and Chris invent some new sports!

A day later than planned, but still incredibly relevant.

Especially as the Olympipod remains the only podcast brave enough to discuss Lugenga.

Are there too few people on a curling team? Or too many?

How many people could you pile on a luge?

Does Ruth have covid?

It must be another Olympipod bonus.

Day 4 of the Beijing Winter Olympics is drawing to a close, but Ruth and Chris are here to keep you up-to-date on some of the latest - and late - stories from the slopes, as well as some "live" commentary on the eagerly anticipated Group B clash in the women's ice hockey between Sweden and Denmark.
