Amber Glenn interviewed on "House of Maher" (Maher sisters) podcast

[el henry]

Amber, whatever you think of her skating, is always honest, forthcoming in her interviews, never canned.

She talks about sympathy claps after falls, how the general public wouldn't realize how devastating her double in the Olympics SP was, and why doing her best is more important than "beating" another skater. She also talks about coming out and how by the time she felt ready, if the sport wasn't ready, and I quote, "screw them".

Hearing the Mahers, particularly Ilona as another Olympian, give their reactions to watching skating and the difference between rugby and skating fandom (basically everybody has an opinion on skating, Ilona could do anything as a rugby player and no one knows, so she gets "good job").

I found it well worth the time:

Skating needs her voice.

I love Amber so much, great interview. Everyone needs to listen to this.

My favorite part of the interview was when she said Jason Brown is an honorary Blade Angel! I literally laughed out loud and scared the cat sleeping on my lap. She also mentioned a video that Jason and Isabeau made. Would love to find it.
