This is a rap podcast now. Okay, it's not, but the recap of last weekend's World Cup races in Germany does include discussion of an iconic hit from Fat Joe featuring Lil Wayne. We're back to break down Oberhof and to throw rocks at the Norwegian Olympic team selection. (RIP Lars Heggen.) Get at us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. See you after Goms next weekend.

Forgive us — life intervened. We're delayed but not denied, and today we bring you the long-awaited episode wrapping up the 2026 Tour de Ski. We also get into Olympic qualification, with a side order of U.S. and Norwegian national championships. We'll back back after this weekend's World Cup races in Oberhof. Stay tuned. As always, reach us by email: devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com

Deep into this winter's Walkabout de Northern Italy, we're wearing a little thin, but Devon rallies just before midnight to recap stages three and four. We'll have a wrap-up after the final climb. You can reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. We appreciate all the feedback we've been getting — happy new year!

Devon and Nat bring you more podcast content from stages one and two of the Tour de Ski, which is proving to be a further headache for those responsible for selecting Norway's Olympic team. We'll be back after the next two stages. Thanks for your support. Keep the questions and feedback coming; also, we've gotten surprisingly little hate mail this year...just saying. Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com.

It's time for the Tour de Ski, which really is just a northern Italy promenade this year — no races in Switzerland or Germany. Nonetheless, we're excited for some fun storylines and to follow along with you this year. Here's a quick preview. Questions? Comments? Hit us up at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. For those of you who have become voluntary FasterSkier supporters, we're really grateful.

Rosie Fordham grew up in Sydney and has taken perhaps one of the most unconventional routes to a professional cross-country skiing career. She takes us on a tour of her epic Alaska training sessions and her sans-plumbing Fairbanks cabin. Devon is still off for Christmas, but he'll back back soon for a Tour de Ski preview. Reach us with feedback, ideas and hate mail at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. Thanks for listening, and for your support.

After growing up in the Twin Cities, Zak Ketterson embarked on an experiment this past year, moving to Oslo and training with a Norwegian team. The decision paid off with a top-10 on the World Cup. With Devon focused on family during the Christmas season, Nat caught up with Zak to hear about training, racing and how he covers his financial obligations as a non-U.S. Ski Team athlete. Speaking of financial obligations: We're really trying to pump up our fundraising with just over one month before Nat heads to the Olympics — an event we're really looking forward to but one that also comes with significant expense. You can become a voluntary member at here. If you're already a member, thank you. We'll be back soon. Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. Thanks for listening.

Climate activist and author Bill McKibben joins the show this week to recap some surprising results in Davos, including standout performances from a pair of Vermonters. We're hoping to land some interviews before the Tour de Ski kicks off, and we'll be back with more recaps once racing resumes. Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. 

We're back to recap three days of racing in Trondheim and for Devon to eat some of his words from last weekend's podcast. We'll have more after the World Cup swings to Switzerland this weekend. Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com, and if you're interested in supporting the podcast, visit fasterskier.com/support and email matthew[at]fasterskier.com with inquiries about ads or sponsorship. 

It's on — the 2026 Olympic season, that is. Devon and Nat break down six season-opening races from northern Finland, including a thriller in Sunday's men's race. Contact us with fan mail, hate mail and everything in between: devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. We're looking for title and other sponsors for our Olympic coverage; email matthew[at]fasterskier.com with inquiries.

For some, the season opening races in Sweden and Norway, especially, are tuneups. For others, they're effectively athletes' 'one shot' to qualify for the World Cup races that also operate as qualifiers for Olympic teams. Devon and Nat are back with recaps from Beitostolen and Gallivare, plus notes on early season conditions and Devon's lonely but filling med student dinner in Oslo. Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. We're also looking for presenting sponsors for the season and for our on-site coverage of the Olympics — if you're interested in exploring that, please contact matthew[at]fasterskier.com.

Norway's Astrid Øyre Slind grew up in a skiing family and has been competing her whole life. But she didn't break through at the highest level, on the international World Cup circuit, until her mid-30s. She's now been a top competitor on the World Cup for the past two seasons and is expected to be a major contender at the Olympics this winter, and she joins Devon and Nat for an interview. Questions? Feedback? Suggestions for guests? Email us: devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com.

Joe Davies has notched multiple top-20 World Cup finishes representing Great Britain. The 24-year-old takes us through his compelling backstory, starting with his childhood in British Columbia through racing on the American college circuit. The Olympic season is nearing, and we'll hear from a few more athletes before it kicks off. Got anyone you want to hear from? Drop us a line with your requests and feedback: devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. We'll be back soon.

Guys, the Olympic season is upon us. Athletes are getting into the sharp end of the dry-land season and waiting for snow to fall; Devon and Nat have awakened from summer hibernation and have launched the new season of the podcast. This year's will be like nothing you've seen before, except with similar amounts of questionable audio production, perfunctory efforts to avoid using profanity and unkept promises of future guests. In all seriousness, we're excited to be back for a big year. In this episode, we check in with Vermonter Ben Ogden, a bona fide American Olympic medal hopeful at age 25. Ben catches us up on his summer training, his Olympic vibe and his World Cup facial hair hot takes. Comments? Complaints? Guest requests?

Sorry, we're late. We know. But we haven't forgotten about you. Devon and Nat are back to wrap up the 2025 season and recap Oslo, Tallinn and Lahti. We do really think we'll be back for a couple of postseason episodes. Sorry we haven't answered many of your questions but we've got a list and plan to tackle 'em soon. Thanks so much for following along this season — more soon. Reach us at [email protected] and [email protected] in the mean time.
