My Emotional Support Figure Skating Podcast

Your Good Friend Taraaaaa 4 Episodes Jun 29, 2026

A figure skating podcast that tells the story of how I went from casual Olympics viewer to die-hard fan in less than a week. If you had told me at the start of 2026 that I'd be making a podcast because a 21 year old who calls himself the Quad God and a roster of equally incredible humans changed my outlook on life, I would have called you insane. Yet, here we are. Expect hot takes, completely unqualified opinions, a lot of "I've watched this 20 times and I'm still not over it", and of course our emotional support figure skaters. This is for anyone who needs a little joy in their lives.

Episode 1: Origin Story - Blame the Olympics For This May 2, 2026 00:21:07 It all started with an Xfinity upgrade. Truly the most unglamorous beginning to an origin story ever told, but the rest is good I promise.In the first episode of My Emotional Support Figure Skating, I take you back to where it all began — the 2026 Olympics, a free Peacock subscription I had no idea what to do with, and a childhood memory of watching pairs figure skating at the 2002 Salt Lake City
