What’s new? Well your host, me. Tom. I’m so lucky to have worked at 13 Olympics, reporting, hosting, and doing live commentary. More importantly, I’ve done many, many podcasts over my career. I love this format. Extended time to develop the conversation, learn, and share Olympic hopes and dreams. The show will have great guests, the episodes will dig deep into the topic, the Olympics, Olympians, and sports. We’ll, of course, be truly global. Touching all 5 continents with our content.
We’ll pay close attention to all the key events, updating stories and backstories on and off the field of play. It’ll be an all-encompassing conversation and we will signpost you to some of our outstanding original feature programming across all our Olympics.com platforms.
