Sports EN ↓ 128 episodes

I can’t tell an underrotated jump from a clean one, have no music taste, and hate public speaking. Clearly a podcast is for me! Hey! My name is Vangogh and I am a huge figure skating fan! Unfortunately, I am a teen. Teens don't care about figure skating. ):Instead of ranting about music choices to my friends, I decided to make a podcast! Great decision, right? A Teen Talks Skating is a light-hearted podcast where I rant about figure skating. Obviously. All opinions are mine only, not intended to offend or hurt anybody. New episodes every Saturday (hopefully)!Cover art by my sister!
