Interview with Mark Hanretty

[manleywoman]

Ever wondered about Mark Hanretty's background in commentary? Or what his favorite compulsory dance is? I was fortunate enough to interview Mark this past weekend. If you like skating podcasts — or simply listening to a lovely Scottish accent — give it a listen!

A full transcription will be posted on the page later this week.

That reminds me I hope someday we will get to hear the other half of Rohene Ward's story!

Absolutely love Mark’s commentary and looking forward to reading the interview!

I'm gonna go listen. I love, love, love Mark's Scottish accent, and his palpable enthusiasm for life and for figure skating.

Thanks @manleywoman.

For those wondering, years ago @manleywoman interviewed Rohene Ward. He was in a car, as I recall, so the sound wasn't the best in some parts. They were supposed to get together again for a part 2.

I am really glad that Mark stayed in skating; that politics stuff he briefly mentioned was nasty; many would of walked away.

Out of interest, what is the commentary like for (the growing world of) synchronized skating?

That was either Frank Carroll (in his car) or Tara Modlin (in a taxi). BUt yes, I need to get Rohene for part 2! Thankfully he's local to me.
