Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 52 min and 1h 18m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language News show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 39 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 53 episodes published. Published by Adam Rippon, Ashley Wagner, and Sarah Hughes.
From the publisher
Olympians Adam Rippon and Ashley Wagner join forces with Sarah Hughes (no relation to 2002 Olympic Champion, Sarah Hughes) to tackle the most important questions figure skaters have been asking themselves for years. Questions like: “Why does this short program feel so long?” or “Is there such a thing as your costume being too tight?” and the most important question of all: “Will changing my hair color fix all my problems?” Join the team as they cover all the news, competitions, and drama of the figure skating season. Will they kiss? Will they cry? There’s only one way to find out. Follow us on instagram: The Runthrough Instagram
