Anon Favorite Gymnastics Podcasts

[Anonymous (1a29)]

I’ve seen/heard/watched a few podcasts. A couple I’ve really enjoyed. I’d like see if there are any really good ones I am missing. Hit me with your favs if you have any

Any of the streaming/podcasts services.
JO/Senior/excel/NCAA/club. It is all fun to follow along, keep up, and learn new things.

Scores, meet discussion, training tips, mental health, gym environment. Any of the topics are good with us.

Some have very strong political views expressed. I would like to avoid those, if it all possible. But by all means, list whatever you like. I can filter out what we would like to avoid in private.

I listen to gymcastic but they do share political views and have some other biases I don't agree with. It's still the best source for news though so I deal with it. I also only subscribe to behind the scenes around the Olympics and worlds for the extra coverage.

I also really like neutral deductions. It helps me follow men's gymnastics and I really like some of the interviews she has. She is improving as well. She used to talk super fast but I think she's gotten some feedback because it's been toned down.

All Things Gymnastics Podcast is another good one

Thank you!!

I have a really hard time listening to the rest of it when a political view gets throw in there. I can’t focus after that

I have not heard of some of these though! Thank you! Definitely going to check some new ones out this weeks.

Agree, Gymcastic is too political but has good information, they are credentialed at most of the US major Elite/NCAA Nationals meets, so a pretty reliable source.

DD's favorite is All Things Gymnastics. From what I've listened, not political at all. Just gymnastics, which we both appreciate. They are a bit more NCAA focused, but during elite season they will cover that too. They do a lot of interviews with athletes and recruits, which is really cool! I believe they are also media at the US Elite meets, and sometimes NCAAs?

This sounds exactly like what we’re looking for! Thank you!!

I used to love Gymcastic but lately it’s peppered with politics and delivered in such a way that makes you feel like you aren't welcome in their podcast if you disagree at all. I love them so much when they are just talking gymnastics so I’ve been making use of the skip forward button a lot but I have a feeling my days listening may be coming to an end…

To be honest.. their podcast is exactly why I went anon I listened to one of their episodes recently where an entire 30 mins was dedicated to politics (this wasn’t the first episode for me by far. I kept trying to keep an open mind and give it a shot). I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t be chastised and beaten up on for my feelings on the matter. I’m so relieved I’m not the only one. I’m sure they validate plenty of others feelings and that is wonderful- we all need our people. But to me, I just feel there’s certain places to leave those topics alone. And I personally feel a podcast about gymnastics should be about gymnastics and not who you voted for as president or what state you live in or validating some relationships over others.

I just try my best to to make everyone feel included and welcome. Even if they don’t believe as I do. And I try my best to instill those same values in my children. And some of the comments made aren’t exactly welcoming to others having a different point of view. I won’t ever debate. But I also don’t want to fully support it if there are other options that align with our values more

My gymnastics bestie and I have opposite views and even though he agrees more with Jessica and Spencer than I do, it's still too much for him.
