I subscribed because I’m a lifelong rider and 10+ years as a pro mechanic and want to stay up on new tech. I also don’t ride EMTBs by choice. They seem to always return to this EMoto BS. Blech

The topics are wide ranging & relevant, but David Golay has no business hosting or interviewing. His pause every 5-7 words is madness, and guests / listeners think he stopped talking. Worse his constant intros & use of "well, uh, well" and "I guess we'll see" is audio fingernails on the chalkboard. Dude is unlistenable
After 20+ pods I can say the topics are wide ranging & relevant, but David Golays habit of pausing every 3-5 words is maddening and he says "well, and
- uh... well, uh... I guess we'll see" so much it's unbearable. It breaks up conversation and alters what guests are saying because they think he has stopped talking… fix this & it's very good pod.
