    I’ve entered my first ever BYU in Coffs Harbour later this year. The podcast is helping this newbie learn some tips and tricks from Patto and some awesome guests. Very entertaining and informative. 5 yards, I mean 5 stars.

  • On my saved list

    Got into BY Ultras last year. This podcast is mentioned in “There is no finish” by Stephen Parker, and I’m really pleased I found it. I don’t know the interviewer, but he has a great style, and really digs down in his questioning to get the best out of his guests.
