Medallica: Minnows vs The World

It's Monday in Korea which means most things are closed for no discernible reason. That's not the case with this episode of Medallica though. NZ go hard in the paint in the minnow medals and also have a legitimate medal shot in the Team Pursuit Speed Skating event, starring Peter Michael Michaels. Our desire for Riggustani legitimacy sees Rig become a curler on Tinder based on sage advice from Ste...

First episode back after Hoeffmania drinks and we are hungover as balls. Doesn't stop us from bringing the heat in the form of updates on our athletes, and a very special "Medalling With" segment starring the original Miracle on Ice, Steven Bradbury. We also talk through the Korean drinking games that have taken years off our lives and perennial Winter Olympic battlers Argentina.

Strap your bits in because today's cast is a doozy. We cover Jarryd Hughes as he flies under the radar to claim silver, to the dismay of Aussie papers who didn't pick it. Minnow Mania finally becomes a reality as Martins Dukurs (LAT) attempts to get his shit together and Pita Taufatofua (TGA) tries not to hit a tree in the Cross Country 15km (his words). Our cultural journey also continues, with K...

Episode 8, the Ocho, is available now for your listening pleasure. We finally get on the blower with 6 time Olympian/Luge Lord Shiva Keshavan to ask him the dumbest questions you've ever heard. We get super pissed at Martins Dukurs and Channel 7 for unrelated reasons and deep dive into Latvia's obsession with silver medals and not much else. It's a bumper edition today so treat your ear mouths to...

Our full interview with Kim Jong Un impersonator and Aussie satirist Howard, who was forcibly removed after an interaction with the North Korean cheersquad at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

Today's episode is brought to you by zero sleep and a hundred per cent weird Korean caffeine drink. Thanks to this liquid horse tranquilizer/kidney destroyer, we've served up a cast full of Shaun White disses, Minnow Medal excitement, and justice in the first ever People's Games. It's willing and able so get your latest fix of Medallica now

Things are picking up in Pyeongchang as our major minnows are gearing up for their time on the world stage. We're keeping you updated on glistening cross country skier Pita Taufatofua, and the Latvian who's become Russia's Public Enemy No. 1, Martins Dukurs. We also have a special interview with the Fastest Mullet on Ice, Peter Michael, that'll make you want to buy him the first round of beers, qu...

Episode 5 coming at ya. We've been up since 4am and running on the smell of an oily rag. As we barely keep things together, we recap our athletes including Shiva Keshavan, and show mad props to the New Zealand contingent. Riggustan starts to take the Games and Twitter by storm, and in Korea Advisors, we somehow visit a fish cake only restaurant, stand up on a two hour train and review the garbage...

Our feature minnows start lining up for their events in this episode, with Shiva Keshavan halfway through his 6th and final Olympic luge program. We lock in an exciting interview with Kiwi mullet-wearing enigma Peter Michael and receive a response from the Pita Taufatofua, the oiled one himself. Riggustan continues to confuse and arouse everyone foolish enough to engage and Korea Advisors shines a...

It's Day 1 of competition here in Korea but we need to talk about the Opening Ceremony. Wow. And not 'wow' like 'what a spectacle'. More like 'wow, this thing is horrible. There's a dance about Korean IT'. We go through the uniforms, the speeches, and overacting children in our dissection. We then unleash our new segment Korea Advisors, about our experiences in this bizarre country. We round thing...

We've landed in the right Korea and have foregone sleep to bring you Episode 2 of Medallica: Minnows Vs The World: Kul-de-sac to Korea from our hotel room. The Opening Ceremony is stupidly close and a few people are being left off the guest list. We are also dangerously close to locking down an interview with one of our feature athletes. A brand new segment enters the fold as we say goodbye to a f...

WE'RE BACK! As the 2018 Winter Olympics knocks on the world's proverbial door, we are pumped to be bringing you another installment of all things underdog. Unlike Rio where we observed from afar, this time we're on the ground in Korea, reporting nothing but eyewitness 24k magic. In Ep 1 we cover off the athletes we'll be following at these Olympics, as well as teasers for some of our segments this...

A fresh hot cast for your ears this morning, as we took a two day break due to threats of our partners leaving us. Today we talk Kimmy Collins' relay results, Lyin' Ryan Lochte takes centre stage in Apocalympics Now, corruption in the Craftlympics once again rears its ugly head, and we travel to the South Pacific for Donut Spotlight.

All of its in our 30 min podcast perfect for your morning commute.

Gus comes to, but thankfully not in a bathtub full of ice and fresh stitches. He's safe in Rio and that's a good thing because we cover off Kim Collins blasé attitude towards the 100m sprint and Yonas Kinde's interviewing skills. We also have a bumper edition of Apocalympics that is jam packed with boos, round the clock Maccas runs and the conclusion of the green pool saga. Craftlympics makes a we...

In our highly anticipated megashow, we cover 2 days of Olympics news, results and generally low construction standards. Puerto Rico break their Gold medal drought with victory in the Women's Tennis Singles, and we shine our Donut Spotlight on the great nation of Bhutan.

We celebrate the Fiji Sevens team breaking their countries duck with a GOLD medal as well as Singapore's first GOLD. We find a new home for Yonas Kinde, get tingly with excitement for Kim Collins debut on the track and Surveillance on Sidibe takes the sharpest of turns. We churn out a bumper edition of Apocalympics that includes an update on the infamous 'Grinch Piss' pool and apparently the worst...

As the swimming draws to a close and the athletics draws close, things are heating up in Rio. Thankfully, we have Rig on the ground in Rio putting his neck on the line for the cause (spoiler: He didn't get shot, they were aiming at the equestrian centre), as Sidibe's moment of greatness approaches. We also look at Usain Bolt's new career, Kim Collins touches down in Rio, discuss how we can offer Y...

It is the conclusion of Day 5 here in Rio, and wow have things been happening! While Sidibe is meditating in preparation for his big moment on Friday, we discuss the imminent arrival of Kim Collins, judge how the Rio pool guy is doing, and discuss the ACTUAL MODERN CRAFTLYMPICS. Intrigued? You should be - tune in and find out what is going on.

Well, it's Day 4 in Rio, and we have everything covered for you. Discover why Sidibe's nickname is 'The Corporal', Kimmy has guaranted a top 3 finish and a Kazhakstani Rower now hates Michael Phelps with the power of a thousand suns, along with "Apocolympics Now" and all your favourite segments. Running at under 20mins, it's perfect for your morning commute!

As Day 3 of the 31st Olympics draws to a close, we have a huge show. This episode, we cover everything from Kosovo's Gold medallist Judoka Majlinda Kelmendi through all your favourite segments such as "Apocolympics Now" and "Donut Spotlight". Tune in now and enjoy!

It was our pleasure to join Matt Okine and Alex Dyson on Triple J to discuss Rachid Sidibe (Burkina Faso), Kim Collins (Saint Kitts and Nevis) and all things Medallica, as well as fielding some slightly curly calls from the public re minnows they'd like to know more about. Enjoy!

From Kim Collins deciding he just can't be f*cked getting on his flight to Rio yet, to Gus and Rig deciding to put some of their hard earned on Sidibe, Collins and Kinde, things are heating up in Rio. We're into Day 2 of competition, and medals are flying off the shelves like they're going out of fashion. Vietnam has notched up their first Gold Medal in Olympic history, but will anybody break the...

THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE. Yonas Kinde has granted us an exclusive interview, and we're bringing that to you....right now. We also recap everything from the Opening Ceremony, discuss why Guanabara Bay is full of sofas, our Craftlympics focus is on Music, and our Donut Spotlight shines it's light on an African nation with a deep-seeded Olympic grudge against a popular American boy's name.
