With the Paris Olympics fresh in our memories and the Paris Paralympics about to get started, we're joined in this episode by Ken Hanscom who's as knowledgeable about the Olympics as anyone.
Ken and his wife, Ashley, have now attended the past four Olympics that permitted a full spectator experience (2012 London, 2016 Rio, 2018 Pyeong Chang, and 2024 Paris). Along the way, Ken's picked up plenty of tips and tricks that he shares on his Facebook groups Los Angeles 2028 Olympics Planning and Preparation as well as Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics Planning and Preparation.
Ken's also created an online guide for attendees of the Games (here's the Paris edition).
During our discussion with Ken we learn about some tips for planning future trips to the Olympics, about nation's Hospitality Houses, his favorite moments from attending 36 events in Paris, as well as what he's anticipating for LA28.
