SHOW NOTES

· The ‘Pilot’ episode of The Ski Podcast was published in October 2017, lamenting the cancellation of ‘The Jump’
· Early episodes covered anything that piqued our interest, from Ed Sheeran (Episode 4), Genepi (Episode 5) and Jim’s love of funiculars (Episode 7)
· During the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in 2018, we produced an episode every day
· Chill Factore in Manchester were our first sponsor in September 2018
· One of Iain’s favourite interviews was Eddie the Eagle Edwards in Jan 2019
· Favourite early features include the number of wolves in the Alps (Episode 28) or theories about drug dealers in ski resorts (Episode 33)
· Jim left the show in August 2020
· Back in 2017, when an interview went awry it was news, but with the rise of Zoom during Covid, this hardly seems out of the ordinary…
