To say 2026 has been a rollercoaster of a year for Aussie curlers Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt might be the biggest understatement we can make on this podcast. From the crushing low of missing out on qualification for the 2026 Olympics to the incredible high of claiming Australia’s first-ever curling world championship months later, it has been one hell of a year for the nation’s golden curling…
Australian ski-mountaineer Lara Hamilton joined us ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics to give incredible insight into her sport, her journey, and the challenges she faced in pursuit of her Olympic dream.

Ahead of her second push for the Games in 2026, Sarah rejoined us last year to reflect on her journey and why she believed Italy would finally be her moment. She was right.

It's one of the rare track & field disciplines we've never had the honour of talking to an athlete from, and today that changes as we dive into the epic sport of pole vault with incredible New Zealand Olympian Olivia McTaggart, who joins us for an amazing interview about her, her sport and everything else in between!

One theme we often hear about on this show through our many athlete interviews is the struggle when it comes to funding, and how Olympians support themselves to pursue their Olympic goals. It's a complicated journey for many to receive the money to help them with their careers, with limited avenues available to them outside the traditional sponsorship route. But one man is trying to change that,…

Not only did they beat…
