NBC OLYMPICS PODCASTS
Below are highlights of the latest NBC Olympics podcast offerings across The Podium, In The Village, and My New Favorite Olympian:
The Podium: When Olympic skateboarders Nyjah Huston and Jagger Eaton touched down as part of only the second-ever US Olympic Skateboard team, they went for a practice session…in the streets of Paris. It’s one of the ways that street skateboarding, much like the 2024 Paris Olympic Games as a whole, blends the city and field of play in innovative ways.
In The Village: NBC Sports swimming correspondent/analyst Elizabeth Beisel interrupts Team USA swimmers while they do a final suitcase pack for Paris, as Katie Ledecky, Ryan Murphy, Abbey Weitzeil and Nic Fink determine what’s actually essential to put in a travel bag and end up talking about what’s essential to have on a team roster.
My New Favorite Olympian: Get to know Olympic boxer Jennifer Lozano, nicknamed “the Troublemaker,” who started boxing after experiencing bullying, racism and cartel violence splitting her time between Mexico and the border town of Laredo, Texas.
