    Happy Champs Eve! Much like the British team, a small TrackCastic crew has assembled for another in-depth champs preview pod! Carol, Ceri and Chris chat through the ones to watch in all disciplines ahead of a home World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

    Episode 57: Re/Preview

    We're back! It's Olympic year! So it's time for a fresh new look... We were too busy rigging the World Athletics Awards to record our annual Christmas special. So instead, we have our re-preview pod - a review of 2023, whilst also previewing 2024. Plus some outrageous predictions for the Athletics year ahead. There's also a new (potentially one-off) strand to the show with Ceri's (Deep) Heat magazine gossip section. All the coaching changes, marriages and pregnancies that you can shake a javelin at. Tweet us at @Trackcastic to share your predictions for the year ahead. There's a lot to look forward to, with Glasgow World Indoors, Rome European Champs and the Paris Olympics! TrackCastic was born in 2016, just ahead of the Rio Olympic Games - and we're still going 8 years later - thanks to you listeners! Happy listening! TrackCastic crew xx

Biggest flop since Fosbury - Fantastic!

A great pod for Track and Field fans, athletes, officials, mascots and even the annoying cameramen who stalk their athletes after a faceplant in the long jump.
A welcome antidote to the broadcasters montages of yesteryear - these guys give you the lowdown on the latest competitions, athletes and gossip. Even Jim Bowen said it was Super, Smashing, quite good.

Oblong O'Toole ,

Always serious enough to please track and field afficinados, always irrereverent enough to make you laugh out loud.
