Timing is everything...gaming the system
Today Wendy and Shelley talk to expert timer Mike Walker (local - World Cup timer) about how athletes can gain the system to their advantage. They also ask what can right and wrong in timing (cough, cough Crans-Montana anyone?), what is timing, and how to time. Wendy and Shelley also trade snippy remarks and Mike casually listens to two friends insult each other. Correction: In the pod we say Cortina - we meant Switzerland :( Boo on us, but still relevant info. Thanks for the understanding :)

Crans Mon-what the? City Duals and FIS is broke
What happened to the timing in Crans Montana? What happens when people gripe about double cross blocking? What happens when FIS says that they don't want to put on 2 cancelled GS races because they say they're broke? We don't have the answer to all of these questions but we have an opinion on all of them!

something grows in Gardena...
We try out a new mic and will never use it again...Wendy and Shelley figure out Xmas and are both pretty clueless on how to celebrate it. Shelley has had the flu so Wendy fills her in on how the men and women kind of raced the same track but didn't at all. Wendy wants into Innerhofer's downhill suit...

Life Matters
Minute: Mary Shelley
Science is meant to be a tool, a tool of learning, just like a butchers knife or a scalpel is simply a tool, the moral judgment of those who use the tool is critical. It can be used for good or it can be used for great evil. In 1816 a young girl Mary Shelley wrote an incredible marvel describing the combination of the industrial revolution with medical science and the danger of it’s lacking a moral compass. Air Date: N/A
