  • Gambling Ads

    Love this podcast esp the reviewing the news with Cody, but recently am very opposed to the idea of promoting gambling on the podcast.

    Jonathon is a very ethical person especially based on his views expressed on the podcast, but then goes ahead and signs a sponsorship to promote gambling. The number one thing taking over young male adults in North America, which conveniently is his main audience.

  • Excellent

    UPDATE: unfortunately Jonathan has become an insurance salesman and an advertiser for gambling. I still listen and subscribe to Blister but this is disappointing. Oh, and stop hiding your Carv score. Come out of the shadows of anonymity. My old review still pertains as well. -Jack

    Great topics. Great interviews. Love this podcast. Thanks Blister.

  • Hypocrisy

    I’m listening to Aug 3 with Cody and you are discussing Europe burning and climate change! The rest of the world has been on board with climate change and what it means. The US has been the naysayer and has pulled out of every climate change agreement. When Cody says ‘our side’ has done a poor job of communicating that’s a cop out. Jason is trying to stay politically neutral to not lose viewership. Worse he’s positioning himself as someone very very concerned about climate change You can’t h... more

  • Always a great conversation.

    My go to podcast, very insightful. Especially love the Reviewing the News series with Cody. You should think of adding “Cody’s suffer fest” a permanent segment.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hoji, Chris Rubens, & McKenna Peterson on Break Dancing, Crashes & Close Calls, & More
Q: Would you mind setting that up and sort of talk about that day and kind of what went down?
Peterson recounts skiing in British Columbia in spring 2024. After skiing a larger face, she hit what appeared to be a playful snow feature that was actually solid glacial ice, severely injuring her knee and rupturing a cervical disc. Subsequent complications led to additional surgeries and lengthy rehabilitation.
Hoji, Chris Rubens, & McKenna Peterson on Break Dancing, Crashes & Close Calls, & More
Q: If you're three months out from getting on snow, what are the kinds of things you're doing?
Hoji describes running, intervals, bodyweight exercises, hiking, breakdancing-inspired coordination work, and mobility. Rubens says he has relied on running and ski touring, while Peterson uses weight training, yoga, and mountain biking.
Founder’s Story: Creating Red Bull Rampage
Q: How do we think about this? How are you thinking through this?
Barber describes the difficult aftermath of the previous year's crashes and weather delays, noting that wet conditions made the terrain easier to shape and that split-second decisions and high-pressure competition can lead to serious outcomes. He says athlete selection must increasingly account for judgment and whether riders will compete within their limits.
Founder’s Story: Creating Red Bull Rampage
Q: Over the past 25 years, is the bigger difference that the athletes have gotten much better or the digging and building has gotten much better? What has made the bigger impact on the event?
Barber says the event's progression comes from three forces working together: athletes learning from previous competitors, improved bikes, and increasingly experienced build teams.
Founder's Story: Ferreol Skis co-founder, Jonathan Audet
Q: What were the biggest challenges with US market entry and border logistics?
Regulatory and border uncertainties, especially early during cross-border situations, complicated imports of demo skis; we navigated these with planning, timing, and local partnerships.
