So raise the flag, light the cauldron, and join in on the Games Odyssey for a weekly sprint down history lane as hosts Jonathan Jordan and Sarah Patton bring you stories of glory from Olympia to now.

MEET THE HOSTS

Jonathan Jordan is a writer who has been obsessed with the Olympic Games for pretty much his entire life. He decided to start The Games Odyssey as a storytelling outlet for all the amazing Olympic & Paralympic stories that can inspire real change in the world. When he’s not talking about the Games, you can find him spending time with his family…probably at a gymnastics meet somewhere.

He is also the founder of Wordrobe Media, where he helps others tell their stories.

Sarah Patton (aka Super Fan Sarah) has the creds to back up her claim as Team USA’s #1 fan - no, seriously, she won a contest that made it official. She’s also a regular contributor on with out friends over at the Keep the Flame Alive podcast. When she’s not talking about the Olympics and Paralympics, you can find her spending quality time with her husband, sons, and dog Theo.

She is also the cookie baking genius behind Wildwood Cookie Co.
