The Runthrough

We return to competitive figure skating for the first time in what feels like.... well, you'll see. FYI: there are THREE lore horse episodes remaining after this, through the end of September! We will still be keeping up with competitions, but on Patreon so that the final lore horses can really shine on our main feed.

Welcome to your favorite figure skating podcast, where we talk about all the things that make us kiss, make us cry, and make us host The LIVE Rosie Awards show at the Westin in Gwinnett.

This was our very first Live Awards Show and, unbelievably, our 7th live show of the season. We truly couldn’t have done this without your support; we are so grateful for every one of you. This was our first OLYMPIC SEASON as podcasters and what a wild ride it’s been. This season really had it all: Scout the dog, shark attacks, cigarettes, and plenty of fake comebacks.

A massive thank you to everyone who came out and dressed to the nines. We also want to thank USFS, The Georgia FSC, and the Local Organizing Committee for all their incredible help. And of course, a huge thank you to you, our loyal listeners. We are so lucky to have you. OUR RUNTHROUGH FAMILY!

To all the skaters who competed this season: we love to joke around, but please know it’s always from a place of love. We admire you and we are always cheering you on. The Runthrough will always be a place where we can laugh and cry about the incredible athletes who make us laugh and cry.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees of this year's UNFORGETTABLE Rosie Awards at Adult Nationals!
