Really great first episode, made me feel like I was there! Looking forward to catching the pairs and dance. This reminds me of a certain other show, but more intelligent.

These were so great! It's wonderful to put voices together with images of both of you!

I’m in the middle of the second episode on worlds. Really enjoying hearing the two of you talk. My friend Suzanne, who came with me to worlds, heard a lot about Tony during the week and is now watching them too.

@thvu, @tony Please comment about my thoughts as to the possible improvement in Alysa's skating skills over th next year on an absolute basis as well as relative to Amber's. Mind you, I'm not a skater.

The attached is a very interesting interview about her retirements and then struggles getting back into competition mode.

I very much enjoyed hearing your thoughts and analysis of Worlds and the WTT (though this is a just for fun competition with great prize money). I hope you continue doing this for the upcoming season.

Wrong thread?

I put this into @tony 's and @thvu 's podcast thread to provide more of a context for their comments about Alysa's skating skills relative to Amber's as well as how far she has come in one year. Please see my prior questions and comments.

Would you guys ever think about transferring the YouTube episodes to podcast form as well?

Sure! You have a platform suggestion?

 

[VGThuy]

Sure! You have a platform suggestion?

I use the Apple podcast app only because I have an iPhone but maybe other posters have a better idea of what the best platforms are.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

A lot of other podcast websites pull from Apple’s directory, so it’s the top one. Next would be Spotify.

Most podcasters utilize a service like Buzzsprout or Podbean to get an RSS set up and then the service automatically pushes new episodes out to every known podcast directory/platform.

Do you see (Tony and Thomas)anyone showing up at Cranberry in Norwood? I remember seeing Green and Parsons skating their Martha Grahamesque free dance there and swooning.
