The Runthrough

124

Olympians Adam Rippon and Ashley Wagner join forces with Sarah Hughes (no relation to 2002 Olympic Champion, Sarah Hughes) to tackle the most important questions figure skaters have been asking themselves for years.

Questions like: “Why does this short program feel so long?” or “Is there such a thing as your costume being too tight?” and the most important question of all: “Will changing my hair color fix all my problems?”

Join the team as they cover all the news, competitions, and drama of the figure skating season. Will they kiss? Will they cry? There’s only one way to find out.

    Worlds 2025 Ladies Recap
    Love this show, just wanted to comment about the synopsis of the Women’s event, particularly as it related to Amber and Alysa. I adore both skaters and admired the progress Amber has made. I do believe that if Amber does a clean program her quality shows and it is evident that she is on the same playing field as Kaori. However, the superpower that Alysa has is her ability to manage nerves. While I think she always had this to a degree, there is something about coming back to the sport and doing it on her own terms that gives her an advantage. Regardless, her ability to manage this pressure is incredibly special and almost unlike anything I have ever seen. I also kinda picked her because she was the dark horse here and not dealing with the same Centerfold pressure Amber was facing. I am still dying over the idea that Ilia should just use Simone Biles’ Byonce “Ooop” music, keep it up!

    Love Adam and Ashley
    I listen to this podcast every week and normally enjoy the banter and insights. However in todays podcast, Ashley was so petty in her comments about a skaters performance and their lip sync and hoodie. Wow, it surprised me that she can be so mean spirited. All I ask is that you, Ashley, Listen to your comments again and put yourself in the skaters boots and see how that feels!!

    I absolutely love this Podcast. I find the insights Adam, Ashley, and Sarah offer so interesting. They also have a wonderful dynamic. I get excited every time a new episode is available. I could listen to them for HOURS.

    Stick to skating…
    Love this show, I just wish they’d stick to skating 🤷‍♀️ please leave the political talk out of it, it ruins the experience for some of us, regardless of political alignment

    The three amigos
    The Runthrough is one of the highlights of my week as a figure skating fan. Ashley, Adam, and Sarah share fun stories and their perspectives on all things figure skating.

    Team Adam & Ashley
    Great podcast, insightful to listen to two athletes’ perspective on the sport and the skaters. However, was bummed to hear that Sarah is back. Please just make it the two A’s…Sarah is insufferable. The know it all attitude, the negativity…makes the podcast so unenjoyable to listen to.

    Fun & Funny
    I’m a fairly/new casual figure skating fan, and I really look forward to new episodes of this podcast. Adam and Ashley especially have a really great flow and understand each others’ humor really well. There isn’t a ton of technical skating talk, but I don’t mind that since I don’t know that much about skating technique. But there are plenty of other podcasts where you can find more technical based content if that’s youre thing. This particular show is great when you just need to laugh. I don’t have any other friends who watch skating, so it’s really fun to feel like I’m part of Ashley, Adam, and Sarah’s conversations.

    Hysterical
    I’m at the gym here in San Francisco listening to the latest Runthrough. It is Adam solo and it is a classic. When he talked about some ISU website, on the near-eve of the Grand Prixe finals, that the top Japanese woman’s skater’s hobby was listed as “drive”, I fell off the treadmill laughing. Oh lLord, Adam, you need to do more solo shows, no disrespect to Ashley and Sarah. When Adam talked about the ice dancers and Lewis Gibson’s (sp?) hobby being “tanning” and Lyla’s Fear’s hobby “chatting with strangers” and also the French female redhead’s headshot being cut off at the top, I fell off the treadmill again. Oh man. Adam. Wow. You slay.

    Zany fun
    I’m a big fan of this podcast because I don’t have anyone to talk about skating with in my real life. I listen to every episode. Sometimes I wish Adam and Ashley would, I don’t know, maybe make an episode outline and try to stick to it, especially for competition recap shows. Free-ranging discussion is lots of fun but it would be nice to hear them complete their thoughts!
  • hiszhena
    I love this podcast so much that I listen to it on 1.0 speed
    That’s all, that’s the review.
  • Donnelle1991
    Love you guys!
    I’ve been a figure skating fan since as long as I can remember. This podcast is pure perfection. I love the fun banter even if you aren’t talking about skating. Just fun energy!
  • whiskeyteacup
    More Ashley and Adam
    Great skating podcast! Love the guests ranging from skaters to other professionals in the skating field. Would prefer to have more Ashley and Adam talking. They are witty and knowledgeable. While I respect NOC Sarah Hughes’ work and knowledge, I’d prefer to hear much less of her commentary.
  • w654902
    Love it
    Without anyone to talk figure skating with, this pod is what I needed. Not all episodes are as fact driven as others and who cares, the energy is great.

    The BEST Figure Skating Podcast too!
    My favorite figure skating podcast! Love the behind the scenes info and funny stories. I feel like listeners are part of their inside jokes- plenty of LOL moments!

    This pod is making me love figure skating again
    I laughed, I cried, I ate a pork chop and then ran five miles while listening to my new favorite podcast with my best friends who’ve never met me and don’t know who I am. I stopped watching figure skating a few years ago because I got bored watching abused young girls with bad form being forced to do quad flips until their knees fell off. It’s so refreshing to be able to enjoy the majesty of the sport again while watching along with Ash, Adam, and Sarah, who aren’t afraid to give honest commentary about the sport and the athletes. 12/10

    I love them so much
    The best skating podcast, period!
  • amity1976
    Really fun podcast
    Cool podcast to follow along with during skating season
  • Elshortino
    Favorite Podcast
    Definitely my favorite podcast. It takes itself seriously, and it takes itself ridiculously, but most importantly, it takes 4. IYKYK. I motion to have this podcast air live 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. All those in favor, say Mai…Mihara.
  • ASfigureskating
    The figure skating podcast I’ve been waiting for!
    Adam, Ashley, and Sarah are knowledgeable, funny, and opinionated (but not mean), and they have great chemistry.
  • Caberdoo
    Fabulous!
    Fantastic work that keeps getting better. Extremely knowledgeable and also hilarious. The Bolero ep slayed me.
  • RealityPlease
    Bolero
    The laugh I needed- the three of you have such great chemistry. I love your insights about all of the things, from costumes, to hair and music (and also serious skating commentary mixed in!), it is just really the best.
  • ILIKEIT!
    C’monnnnnnn budddyyyyyy
    It’s my favorite podcast at this point. Adam, Ashley, and Sarah are funny but also genuine. Unserious. Unbothered. But Honest. It’s about figure skating but I’m pretty sure I would listen to them talk about most anything.
  • AtomicWife
    Finally, a fun pod for skating fans!
    Finally, a contemporary and entertaining show about figure skating! Ashley & Adam are hilarious and their laughter is infectious.
  • popcornbun
    It’s good!
    I like it. It’s good! Almost as good as the skating lesion which is superb
  • Shay9999999
    Absolutely awesome!
    LOVE this podcast! I can’t wait for future episodes because I just binged them all. I absolutely love listening to your take on the history of the sport. That truly fascinates me, and I’m sure many of this podcast’s fans. (Several figure skater autobiographies have been consumed by this fan and I’m actually re-reading Adam’s) I’m wondering if you could do an episode (might take more?) on just the 90s… you could also cover the different eras of skating in various episodes. I particularly love the underdog stories. (Rudy Galindo comes to mind.) Adam, I really enjoyed hearing your trip down memory lane about your exhibitions/career. I am in awe and have much respect for the hard work both you and Ashley have put into your careers! Keep up the great stuff here! You are all delightful people, and I’m so happy you have started this podcast!

    Absolutely stunning. Love that this will hold me out in the summer and enjoy the momentary from the social issues to the fun sillies
  • KTS1009
    So much fun!
    Love listening to Adam and Ashley’s take on competitions and current/past figure skating news! NBC please take note and hire them (and Ben Agosto) for commentary
  • arlyc89
    The podcast figure skating has been missing
    The Runthrough reminds me of all the reasons why I love figure skating. It’s funny how many times I find myself nodding or laughing along with Ashley and Adam.

    Already Obsessed
    Hilarious. Relatable. Informative. Ashley and Adam have me cracking up the whole time. Their podcasting chemistry is *chefs kiss* and I love their banter.
  • CarrieG76
    Love these two!
    I have always loved Ashley and Adam, so I knew this would be a winner. I appreciate their honest and fair assessment of the ongoing Russia/OAR/ROC/Eteri situations. I am a big time fan/follower of figure skating, but they have covered things that I didn’t know about. Keep it up!
  • Phoebe_Buffet
    Entertaining and informative
    Adam and Ashley balance each other perfectly and their rhythm as a team makes me feel informed and interested and makes me laugh!

    Two amazing athletes and humans….I love this podcast. Thank you both!
  • ejdolan1
    Really enjoying this podcast!
    Been a casual skating fan my whole life and I’ve learned so much about the sport in the three episodes so far. The latest episode focusing on the Russian doping scandal was the best explanation I’ve heard of that issue. The duo being a great mix of preparedness and humor/candor.
  • Essie_sunflower
    The Skater’s Skating Podcast
    This is The One, the Only figure skating podcast anyone has ever needed. Adam and Ashley bring candor and professionalism, with great analysis and anecdotes from inside the world of figure skating. The perfect companion podcast for the competitive season.
  • Podpeerson

  • MHBKS
    Hilarious and informative!
    This is so much fun to listen to. Figure skating reviews by two of the smartest and funniest figure skaters of all time! I laughed so much and kept nodding in recognition and appreciation of what they observed and talked about. Great podcast. Keep it up guys!!
  • almostdiva
    Total Fabulousness!!!
    Such a great podcast! The banter, the discussions, the “inside baseball” stuff like John Nicks in Ugg boots!! Very much looking forward to new episodes!

    Would listen to Adam and Ashley talk about anything and I’m thrilled it’s a figure skating competition recap show. Pls have Mariah on at some point 🙏
  • erinkathleen22
    A must listen for skating fans
    This podcast is everything. Whether you are a skating fan who cries when they watch Michelle Kwans Fields of Gold exhibition or a casual fan who only watches when the Olympics are on there is something to enjoy here for everyone. Adam and Ashley are great hosts who combine humor with insider knowledge and I’m so happy that they are still giving back to the skating community. Highly recommend!
  • cantwatchcbs
    What a nice surprise
    Two of my favorite skaters teaming up for a podcast makes me so happy. I just listened to the first episode and really enjoyed it. They have such a nice easygoing relationship and it makes you feel like you’re just listening in on a conversation between two friends. Of course, that’s two very talented friends.
