The wait is over. FIS Alpine Pulse, the official podcast that goes deep into the raw emotions, rivalries, and human stories behind the Audi FIS Ski World Cup, is dropping what promises to be its most anticipated episode yet.
Hosted by veteran commentator and storyteller Nick Fellows, the new installment brings together two of the greatest ski racers of their generation: Mikaela Shiffrin and Marco Odermatt. The teaser hints at a “special third guest” who has already appeared on the podcast – building massive intrigue ahead of the live premiere.
Titled something along the lines of “Where Greatness Meets,” the conversation explores what it takes to sustain excellence at the absolute peak of the sport. Shiffrin and Odermatt reflect on watching each other compete – the precision, intensity, start-gate rituals, and mental approaches that set them apart. They dive into mindset, national expectations, learning from one another, and finding balance and joy beyond just chasing wins.
This isn’t your typical athlete interview. Alpine Pulse is known for its unfiltered, intimate portraits that reveal the fears, comebacks, loneliness, and triumphs that define World Cup life. Past episodes have featured stars like Federica Brignone, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, Lucas Braathen, and Dave Ryding, but pairing the American slalom/overall queen with the Swiss technical and speed powerhouse creates a rare meeting of two athletes who have redefined modern skiing.
The episode goes live tomorrow at 8:00 AM CET and will be available on FIS TV, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a weekend skier, or just love stories of elite performance, this one is unmissable. Two legends. One mic. Zero filter.
Tune in, guess the returning guest, and get ready for the kind of honest conversation that only happens when greatness meets greatness.
