NEW YORK \u2013 Dec. 16, 2025 \u2013<\/strong> NBCUniversal Local today announced that Olympic figure skating medalist and media figure Adam Rippon<\/strong> and Emmy-winning journalist Chase Cain<\/strong> will host the new season of the multiplatform podcast My New Favorite Olympian. <\/em>The award-winning series returns Jan. 15 to showcase Team USA\u2019s most inspiring athletes expected to participate in the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Winter Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My New Favorite Olympian<\/em> provides in-depth narratives profiling established and emerging American stars who have overcome adversity, broken barriers, and committed to helping others as they pursue Olympic glory<\/a>. Each 15 to 20-minute audio and video episode focuses on a different Olympic hopeful and includes interviews with the athletes, experts, and those closest to them, including family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a member of Team USA, Rippon won bronze at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics. He also earned gold at the 2016 U.S. Championships and 2010 Four Continents Championships. Since retiring from competition, he has become a prominent media personality, winning Dancing with the Stars <\/em>and authoring the memoir Beautiful on the Outside. <\/em>He was named by Time<\/em> as one of the \u2018100 Most Influential People of 2018.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParticipating in the Olympics can be a wonderful platform for those who are committed to making a difference and helping others, and this series shines a light on them before the competition gets underway,\u201d said Rippon. \u201cIt\u2019s a real privilege to contribute to this project and share the fascinating stories of several tremendous athletes who\u2019ll be representing our country in Italy. I\u2019ll be rooting for them all to bring home medals\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cain, also a first-time co-host of My New Favorite<\/em> Olympian<\/em>, serves as meteorologist and climate editor for NBCU Local, leading climate-focused content across NBC- and Telemundo-owned stations\u2019 TV, streaming and digital platforms. His reporting and analysis, which spotlights key environmental issues, has taken him to locations across the globe \u2013 including the Paris 2024 and Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe rightfully admire Olympians for their talents and the tremendous dedication that\u2019s allowed them to rise to the top of their chosen sport, but there\u2019s often so much more to their stories,\u201d said Cain. \u201cI\u2019m honored to help introduce some remarkable individuals whose personal character, passions and pursuits are just as compelling and inspiring as their athletic accomplishments as they take one of the world\u2019s largest stages in February.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new six-part season of My New Favorite Olympian<\/em> will publish new episodes from Jan. 15 through Feb. 5, leading up to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony on Feb. 6. The series will return March 5 for an episode highlighting a Paralympian for the second time in series history, following the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympics. Acura is a supporter of My New Favorite Olympian<\/em> and an official partner of Team USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My New Favorite Olympian<\/em> will be available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, TuneIn<\/a> and iHeart<\/a>. Video content from the series will be presented across NBC-owned stations\u2019<\/a> and NBC Sports Regional Networks\u2019<\/a> TV, streaming and digital platforms. A trailer for the new season will be released on Jan. 8, along with information on the athletes and schedule. Listeners can now subscribe to the podcast here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the sixth season of the My New Favorite<\/em> franchise, which since 2021 has featured athletes in the Summer and Winter Olympics as My New Favorite Olympian, <\/em>and the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup and 2022 FIFA Men\u2019s World Cup as My New Favorite Futbolista. <\/em>Previous Olympic installments have profiled athletes surrounding the Paris 2024 and Tokyo 2020 Summer Games, and the Beijing 2022 Winter Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent season of My New Favorite Olympian, <\/em>a seven-partParis 2024 series, was led by 12-time Olympic medalist swimmer Natalie Coughlin. Olympic legend Apolo Ohno (Beijing 2022) and Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad (Tokyo 2020) served as hosts for the first two seasons. My New Favorite Futbolista <\/em>was anchored by soccer stars Janelly Far\u00edas and Meghan Klingenberg in 2023 and Juan Pablo \u00c1ngel in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
