As this podcast is being published I am enjoying the calming effect of the beach's crashing waves. While I enjoy the sand between my toes, let me present Episode 93 of Just Talking with diabetes blogger and now podcaster Tony Rose. We cover the range of diabetes questions including his diagnosis, life as a husband with diabetes and life as a parent with two children with diabetes. We also discuss his blog and among other topics, why he decided to allow sponsorship on his blog. Finally the podcast. Why a podcast? Why a solo-cast? How has his show evolved after a handful of episodes. There's plenty to get to in this episode. Enjoy.

At nearly every home game for the Washington Capitals (depending on the score) the jumbotron focus on a seemingly random individual in the lower deck. This person then stands up and leads the nearly 19,000 Caps fans in a simple yet effective "Let's Go Caps" chant. It took me a few home games before I realized this guy was a virtual institution within the fanbase. This man, William Stilwell or the Loud Goat as he is known to the Capitals faithful joins me for Episode 92 of Just Talking. We discuss the origins of his nickname, the exact moment Washington D.C. became a hockey town, and what it is like to command an entire arena of fans for 30 seconds.

We're hardcore hockey in this episode, but there's something in this episode for everybody. Enjoy.

It's not every day you have an olympic athlete on your podcast. Well, it's not every day unless you work at ESPN or some fine institution like that. Anyway, Cross-Country Skier Kris Freeman is my guest for Episode 91. Kris was a member of the Olympic Team in 2002, 2006 and 2010 so naturally we spend some time talking about the Olypmics of the past and the upcoming games in Russia. Our discussion also covers his diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, its impact on his skiing, his experiences as a diabetes advocate and as the title suggests, how he manages to Stay Zen before, during and after his competitions.

Obviously, the real noise around Kris and his teammates is a few years away but you can keep up with Kris as he build momentum to the Winter Games on his blog at FasterSkier.com. Enjoy.

Closing in on one hundred, my guest this week is Andy Gray from Sports Illustrated. Andy runs the Sports Illustrated Vault which features images and articles collected by the magazine since the beginning of time (or at least the beginning of the Magazine in 1954). We spend the podcast talking about Andy's college and career path that led him to Sports Illustrated, the value of a picture in a digital world and life as a Boston fan living in New York City.

There's plenty to get to this week and I think you're all going to love this conversation. Enjoy.
