Olympipod

Later than expected due to an unanticipated SPILL! in the recording room, the Olympipod is back. Canada had a great day. Flags did not. People jumped off big hills, and Ruth and Chris question the wisdom of excluding demonstration events from the Winter Games.

No one could have predicted it... The Olympipod is back for day 2 of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games!

New Zealand made history with their first winter gold, the Norwegians were just their asses, and Ruth and Chris wonder if road bowling has made it to Australia. If not, why not?

Beijing 2022 is upon us and the Olympipod is back! And we're asking all the important questions. When is a cauldron not a cauldron? What makes a Moose Biathlon a Moose Biathlon? What kind of oil did American Samoa's flagbearer use to protect him from the cold?

We also get round to talking about some sport.

Despite last week's predictions that we would surely find ourselves in Liverpool for 1948... we're back in St Moritz! And there's more controversy than you can throw an icestock at. Shootings, spills, a controversial film - it has it all.

Not even Covid can keep Chris down as the Winter Olympipod breathlessly - more so than usual - takes a deepish dive into Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936. There's beer gardens aplenty, a ballet, and - of course - even more spills. Plus: Liechtenstein gets its first mention!

More bobsleigh spills than you can shake a stick at, speed skating drama and dogs as the Winter Olympics heads to the USA for the first time.

Bobsleigh returns to its ancestral homeland, horses pull skis, and Canada dominates on the water polo pool. Welcome to the slushy fields of St Moritz, 1928.

Ruth and Chris whoosh back into your ears and brings you all the way back to the slopes of Chamonix for the very first Winter Olympipod. And this season looks like it will be an exciting one, with nordic cold shoulders, controversies on the rink, and a real-time discovery on the origins of the bobsled.

Two weeks after the Games concluded, Ruth and Chris sat down to talk about the most memorable moments of Tokyo 2020ne. And two weeks after that... we published our musings for all to hear! We revisit the very best and the very worst people and stories, and even give a little teaser as to what's to come over the next few months for the Olympipod

It's over! It's all over! Tokyo 2020 is over! Ruth and Chris attempt to struggle through their emotions and talk about giant motorised baseball mitts, marathon mischief, large moths, and much much more.
