The outer limit of the media content universe has now been reached: Colin R., a friend from the Internet (or at least the part near Boston), and I have worked up a three-part podcast covering the 2007-2008 Cross-Country Skiing World Cup season. Head over to the Nordic Commentary Project to hear us misuse our microphones, display a disturbingly comprehensive (and yet surprisingly patchy) knowledge of an extremely obscure sport, and generally entertain ourselves. We talk about stuff like most/least disappointing skiers, best American skier, and racer most likely to be doping (part 1); best race and biggest surprise of the season, most and least liked trends (part 2); and predictions for the big 2008-2009 season, among other topics (part 3).
If things work out right, I'll be pushing some (all, if you're lucky) of my posting on cross-country skiing over to the NCP site.
