The Big Listen ended production in May 2018. While this site is no longer updated, all the content remains available for archive purposes.

Since we are currently in the golden age of podcasting, it makes sense that podcasts would be part of NBC Sports’ coverage of the PyeongChang Olympics.
The Podium is a daily show that gives listeners the Olympics inside scoop. It’s hosted by veteran sports broadcaster, Lauren Shehadi, and it promises to get the stories behind the Games.
