Episode 553 - Milano Cortina 2026 Day 5 Review

Episode 553

Thursday, February 12, 2026 • Duration 01:44:13

Well, it wasn’t quite the Day 5 Australia was hoping for at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, but there’s still plenty to unpack and digest as we run through all the news, results and everything in between that you want and need to know! We gauge Australia’s reaction to Jakara Anthony missing out on defending her moguls title, while also looking at America’s response to winning it. We hear firsthand accounts from both ice hockey and figure skating, and discover why experiencing crowds from countries we aren’t used to seeing only adds to the atmosphere. Add in a unique French gold medal story, why Latvia has suddenly become an interesting talking point for tomorrow, and why hockey teams catching trains is oddly funny, and you’ve got one hell of an episode you won’t want to miss.

Day four of Milano Cortina 2026 is in the books as we celebrate another Canadian medal while commiserating over a record-breaking Canadian hockey loss in a day packed with news and drama! We unpack all things short-track speed skating, from the incredible experience of seeing it live to a huge mixed relay result that brought glory to Italy and another medal to Canada. We also dive into Canada’s record loss to the USA in women’s ice hockey, plus unique Norwegian reactions to biathlon bronze, moguls mania for Colin, and more New Zealand medals that Ben is totally, definitely fine about. Get all this and more down your speakers as the Winter Games keep delivering!

Episode 551

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 • Duration 01:18:12

Another epic day of Olympic action is behind us as we recap all things Day 3 from the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics! Colin and Ben break down another medal-winning day for Canada, celebrating Megan Oldham’s bronze in the women’s freestyle skiing slopestyle. We also do something very rare on this show and actually praise New Zealand, as (Australian-born, cough cough) Zoi Sadowski-Synnott adds another Olympic medal to her collection. Plus, Colin takes over Ben’s reign as the podcast’s childish king, we ask whether NBC’s commentary tone has changed over the past decade, and we definitely don’t talk about a certain skier we supposedly never mention. It's fun, entertaining and educational! Everything you need from an Olympic podcast!

A massive Day 2 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics is done and it was so big we needed four nationalities to break it all down! Ben, Colin, Patrick and Alex chat through everything that happened, from the heartbreak of queen Ester missing a three-peat in the women’s parallel slalom (and whether Ben might need the world’s biggest hug) to Lindsay Vonn’s shock exit in the women’s downhill and what it could mean for her legacy. We also explain why we’re celebrating Bulgaria and Norway today, discuss whether Torino deserves to be more involved in these Games, and share why making friends with older drunk Norwegian men can unexpectedly enhance the Olympic experience. It's been another massive day so tune in!

The first day of competition is done and it’s a medal-winning one for Canada and Team OTP! We’re back to unpack it all with insight straight from the ground in Milan plus all the news you need to know! We celebrate Valerie Maltais and her epic bronze in the women’s 3000m speed skating, soak up the atmosphere of an unforgettable Italian gold medal, and debate whether the men’s downhill really should open the Games. There’s also ice hockey chat with on-the-ground stories (including why Ben was literally chasing Tina and somehow ended up around Finnish men with large breasts), plus name corrections, more Opening Ceremony reflections, and continued support for a Team OTP member after some brutal luck. Another huge Olympic day with plenty to talk about! Don't miss it!

Episode 545 - Dale Begg-Smith 20th Anniversary Special

Episode 545

Monday, February 2, 2026 • Duration 01:11:12

Twenty years ago, on a cold night in Turin, Dale Begg-Smith became the first Australian to win Olympic gold in skiing — a moment that forever changed the landscape of Australian winter sport. Four years later, he added a silver in Vancouver, cementing his place as the country’s most decorated Winter Olympian. Yet, for all his success, Dale remains one of Australia’s most mysterious champions. Quiet, media-shy, and sometimes misunderstood, he has long been a figure shrouded in intrigue. In this episode, we explore the man behind the medals — from his early days in Canada to his meteoric rise in Australia, the highs of Turin and Vancouver, and the hidden influence he’s had on a generation of Australian moguls skiers. We hear from those who knew him best, including Matt Graham, Steve Desovich, and Britt Cox, and revisit the moments that defined his career — the triumph, the controversy, and the moments the cameras never captured. Join us as we peel back the layers on Dale Begg-Smith: the Olympian, the mentor, the enigmatic legend. Twenty years on, his story is still shaping Australian winter sport — and still quietly commanding respect.

Episode 544

Monday, February 2, 2026 • Duration 28:58

Only six people in the history of the Winter Olympics have won gold for Australia, and one of them is Alisa Camplin. The 2002 Olympic champion in aerial skiing backed up her gold four years later with a bronze, making history as the first Australian woman to win multiple Winter Olympic medals. Since hanging up the skis after the 2006 Games, Camplin has gone on to forge an impressive career in leadership and is now set to attend her second Olympics as Chef de Mission of the Australian Winter Olympic Team. In this wide-ranging chat, Alisa explains why Australians should be excited about the team heading to Milano Cortina, how she’s planning to get to as many events as possible, and just how difficult the process is when it comes to selecting Australia’s flag bearers, with no shortage of outstanding candidates in the mix. She also reflects on unforgettable moments from her own Olympic journey and shares fascinating stories from her time alongside the iconic Dale Begg-Smith. It’s a brilliant conversation with one of Australia’s great Olympians that you won’t want to miss!
