On the first episode of 2018, Elizabeth Emery talks to Martina Brimmer, co-founder of SWIFT Industries which is a bicycle bag maker located in Seattle, Washington. Martina talks about her life as a female adventurer, an entrepreneur, and the realities of running a small business about which she's passionate. We hear how most of the fabrics are U.S. made, including the new waterproof canvas, designed with their input, and all the cutting and sewing is done in Seattle.

Bonjour! Bienvenue! Grab a croissant. Put on a beret and a fur coat, and imagine yourself in the midst of the French Alps. It’s time for The Inside Line that we recorded in France between World Cup races. It’s been a speed-centric couple weeks on the ladies’ tour so this week we focus on the excitement in Val d’Isere and Courcheval. Everything from Anna Veith’s Super G win to Alice Merryweather’s first World Cup points is on the table--and in the podcast. Plus, we check in with none other than Lara Gut as she works to get back to full form after her injury last season and Lindsey Vonn reacts to publicity off the slopes after her win. Switzerland's rising star Jasmine Flury talks about her first World Cup win in the Super G at St. Moritz and Norway's Ragnhild Mowinckel is all fired up about her World Cup podium debut. And last but by no means least Gabbi sits down my the fire in Val d'Isere to chat to U.S. Ski & Snowboard Alpine Press Office Megan Harrod to discuss the current form among the Unicorn speed team and how team celebrates the holiday season on the White Circus. 

The Inside Line is a co-production of Ski Racing Media & WiSP Sports and sponsored by Team Ski Safe

Kendra Fisher offers a frank and realistic examination of the subtle ways that exposure to computers and social media is effecting all of us but critically its impact on children. She shares evidence of the effects that computer screens are having on young children and bases her recommendations for changing these habits on actual experiences explaining why limiting time is critical to development. The results of scientific studies show that children below the age of two should be limited to no more than 30 mins a day in front of a screen and why more exposure can lead to mental health issues. This is another critically important conversation with valuable advice and a wake-up call to us all on how we help maintain our mental health and crucially help others.
