Aussie skier Sophie Ash made the moguls final at these Olympics, but there's a whole lot more to her than just sport.
Fresh off the plane from Beijing, Sophie came into the studio for a chat. There's her incredible animation and filmmaking work, progressive politics, French philosophy, getting kicked off teams, struggling to fit in, proving doubters wrong and so so so much more.
No stone was left unturned!

7 Aussie Winter Olympians joined us during preparations for Beijing 2022 and we had a blast with every one of them. They're all funny, charming, articulate and surprisingly enough, pretty bloody good at sport.
Enjoy the show!

Early-2000s rock bangers, dodgy desserts, history's not-so-fun facts and more; step into the mind of Aussie alpine ski racer, Louis Mühlen-Schulte.

This guy Louis is a ripper.
He's been on skis since he could walk and now, 20 years on, he's going to his first Olympics.
Alpine skiing - that's the downhill one - is his sport and he'll be competing with the best in a couple of events.
For Louis though, just getting to Beijing has been an uphill battle with plenty of sacrifices. We chat about his Youth Olympic medal from a few years back, his feelings about receiving donations to fund skiing travels, plus moving to the other side of the world alone at 16, but not before Louis kicks things off with one of the most controversial admissions you'll ever hear.

Very few Aussie Winter Olympians follow a typical path to the Games. Phil Bellingham and Seve de Campo are no exceptions.
Both cross-country skiers, they're very funny fellas and have seen a certain jolly North Polian on their adventures; from there though, their stories diverge. Phil's been to three Olympics, but Beijing will be Seve's debut. Seve's a budding director, whereas Phil's acting abilities are world-renowned.
There's a whole lot of motivation talk, stressful restrictions, a quiz for the ages, and, of course, Shrek chat. Tune in!

The horrors of space, getting shoved off a bike, a Coldplay deep-dive and more; step into the mind of Aussie cross-country skier, Jess Yeaton.

Unlike most Australians, Harper and Lachie aren't very athletically gifted. Fortunately, though, they're quite good at admiring those who are. And talking. They're quite good at that…
That's why they talk to Australia's most fascinating sportspeople.
Sometimes they get deep. Sometimes they don't. But, as their listeners can (probably) confirm, they're always a blast to listen to.
Episodes every Monday until they interview the 25 millionth and final talented Australian athlete.
