A Stunning Week in Beijing
The Figure Skating world was rocked this past week with scandal, heartbreak, and hundreds of unanswered questions. Not quite the stuff athletes dream about finding in the headlines covering their Olympic experience. And yet, but the ice dancers and the women of this Olympic Games persisted and gave us heartfelt moments that will live on for all who watched.
This week on Ice Talk, Tara chats with Jackie who brings perspective on the doping scandal from Beijing, and both find moments to celebrate along the way.
Customer Reviews
Jackie is back!
Jackie Wong is the best, stopped listening when he wasn’t on but I’m back!
Upspeak
Jackie is great, but Tara, please try not to end every sentence as if it were a question.
Great show overall, but miss Jackie and Nick together
This show has evolved over the years, and I was a huge fan of Nick and Jackie’s partnership. They just had such great rapport with each other, and Nick had a really fun and easygoing demeanor in his interviews that often elicited interesting answers from guests. Mirai and Tara’s shows were a bit uneven, but had some great interviews and it was fun to hear some of Mirai’s stories with those guests. In the current incarnation, it’s great to have Jackie back, but Tara sometimes drives the pace a bit too fast and it can feel a bit frantic to listen to. I do really appreciate their analysis, interviews, and this podcast overall.
