Patricia was the one who first helped me get involved in judging years ago -- FASCINATING listen for anyone interested in the history and evolution of the 'new' judging system.

PJ's interviews are sooooo good, like I even go around sharing them with my colleagues in radio and they are impressed. The way she builds trust with her subjects and creates intimate conversations is pretty unparalleled.

In the event that you somehow haven't listened to it yet... PJ's interview with Takeshi Honda is fantastic!

I didn’t know what to expect from my interview with Charlie White. In truth, I have been on ‘saying hi’ terms with Charlie for years, never had the chance to really sit and have a chat. What a great conversation! We lined it up while I was in Helsinki at Worlds and took some time to record our podcast after a press conference. Our conversation was comfortable and I was delighted at how thoughtful and considered Charlie was in his responses.

PJ Kwong's interviews are so informative, yet relaxed at the same time. Having met her in Boston and reconnecting with her in Helsinki, she is so down-to-earth, too.

Not the podcast, but PJ Kwong posted the following short interview with Kurt Browning about facing the Olympics to her Facebook page:
