I just wanted to let you guys know that I have been having a really tough couple days due to a cat’s illness and listening to your podcast was a temporary distraction. I know it is “just” a gymnastics podcast but your hardwork is really appreciated.

Props for the terrifying string music when Cordelia Price was discussing USA’s beam problem. When I think about this problem, I now hear that music.
