Good for the Olympics anyway...

I was disappointed this didn't continue for the Paralympics. The preview episode made me think it would. How is that a "preview"?

Thanks for this podcast; Paralympics!

I have enjoyed this podcast (found it in early 2021). I’m looking forward to the episodes that are coming for the 2022 Beijing PARALYMPICS! I love to hear about ALL athletes and their respective stories. Hope that we also can see a lot of this on network TV in early March 2022!
