  • Brings me comfort

    I really enjoy this podcast. Kim is great at giving the facts with a little opinion mixed in. Always self aware, never mean, always something we were all thinking but didn’t say. Figure skating brings me so much comfort and joy and I look forward to reliving the season through Kim’s commentary and breakdowns. Thank you!
