  • an interesting mix of culture and running

    Recent longer form interviews have been informative and entertaining. Gives us a nice mix of Euro and U.S. perspective. Wasn’t into the faux soul searching that some of the previous shows tried to provide. Josh seems to be back to making running and listening fun.
