This podcast provides a unique, intimate look at the individuals who define the modern Olympic and Paralympic spirit, connecting their world-class athleticism to broader themes in culture and society. It’s an invitation to find a new personal connection to the Games, understanding what truly drives these competitors before they take the global stage. Listen to this podcast for genuine, revealing profiles that make you feel like you’re getting to know a friend, not just a fan favorite.
