First of all, sorry for my imperfect English.Hope it is understandable.
I am just one of the thousands of Japanese figure skate fans, and not very enthusiastic and knowledgable one :) I am just a general fan who is old enough that I first encountered figure skating on TV at the Sapporo Olympics in 1972 (Janet Lynn impressed many girls here at that time.) Then I started watching major events of the sport.
Your podcasts are pretty educational, as I didn’t really have deep insights and knowledge about figure skating. Although I still don’t know some of the skaters you talk about and have an interview with, I enjoy and learn a lot from your podcast. I didn’t miss any of your podcasts during the first season, and continue to be a loyal listener into the second season.
Anyway, if I choose three figure skaters whom I would stay with at a desert island, I would say Scott Hamilton (same as you,Gina) Midori Ito, and Oksana Baiul :)
I don’t think you will send a mug all the way to Japan but, just try to send a review. Also, by taking this opportunity, l want to say thank you for the interesting podcasts.
