My Emotional Support Figure Skating Podcast

Something shifted in figure skating. And I noticed it before I even knew it was a thing. This episode picks up where we left off with Amber Glenn, but instead of focusing on her individual story, we zoom out to the culture she's helping create around her. Because the friendship culture in figure skating right now is unlike anything the sport has seen before, and we need to talk about it. We st...

This episode is for the LGBTQ family. And honestly, for anyone who has ever felt like they had to hide part of themselves to fit in. This week we're talking about Amber Glenn, three time U.S. national champion, Olympic gold medalist, and one of the most refreshing human beings in figure skating right now. And we are going to get into it. We talk about her journey to coming out as bisexual and pans...

A figure skating podcast that tells the story of how I went from casual Olympics viewer to die-hard fan in less than a week. If you had told me at the start of 2026 that I'd be making a podcast because a 21 year old who calls himself the Quad God and a roster of equally incredible humans changed my outlook on life, I would have called you insane. And yet, here we are. Expect hot takes, complet...
