December’s Podcast sees Steve Parry guest to talk about Britain’s performance at the European Short Course Championships in Helsinki, while Swimming World’s Steve Thomas joins us from Sydney to talk about Ian Thorpe’s retirement. We also take a look at the poll for the pullbuoy British swimmers of 2006.

The inaugural pullbuoy podcast sees James Parrack guest on the show to talk about morning finals at the Beijing Olympics, James Gibson’s move to France and the benefits of training camps while our trip into the pullbuoy archive takes us back to 2003 to talk about fly kicks in breaststroke with Gibson and Ian Edmond.
