We've got something different for you this week in the podcast that we think you'll enjoy.  Our friends over at EscapePod.org are allowing us to broadcast one of their episodes - Fuel by Matthew Rotundo - that dealt with the future of athletic performance enhancement.  This is a great episode to generate conversation about the future of performance and what we will allow as a society.  So, give it a listen and we hope you enjoy this special episode.

It's the New Year and we start with Dr. Pat Goodson joining us in the studio for the podcast.  Dr. Goodson is a writing expert and leads us in a discussion about what is the 'scientific literature'.  Why do we trust the scientific literature  and why is it important for us to know about it?  If you want to be able to figure out what is true or not in sports science, this is a fun conversation and one that will make you think.

Emily Schmitt, from the Huffines Institute, was quoted in a new article on "Avoiding Fitness Injuries in the New Year".  Check it out here.
