Along with the SLC Flashback series, I produce a podcast called the Canucks Outsider, the latest episode of which features Dan Funboy and I talking about the upcoming Olympics over beers at the Eastside Club in Olympia, WA.  In this case, mostly the re-vamped Canadian Alpine skiiing team, Men's hockey tourney and ski-jumping.

If you enjoy home-grown commentary (and don't mind moderately ribald hockey talk) then I encourage you to subscribe to the feed for more Olympic chatter over the upcoming games, or you can just download the episode.

In February 2002, Dan Funboy (an encyclopeadia of sporting insight) and me, (Dave Thorvald - writer, podcaster, miscellaniaist) headed south from Olympia, WA to Utah for the duration of the Winter Olympics.

During the following month, we watched while the Games come together, temporary venues erected, and the waves of people cycle through.  Events and subsequent drama unfolded as we attended 25+ events crammed into 13 days of action and activity - including 4 Team Canada Men's hockey matches, Mens and Women's Gold Medal Curling, W's 1/2 pipe Snowboarding, M's Giant Slalom, 120M Ski jump, 10km x-country and the Barenaked Ladies.
