  • Super informative and entertaining

    I’ve been a long time follower of Tom’s across his many platforms including the Big Picture Skiing website, CARV, his skiing webinars and of course his hundreds of YouTube videos on skiing performance/improvement. His podcasts have great guests with interesting and varied backgrounds. I find they are great way to learn and be entertained as I ride to keep fit for skiing or on my long drives to the ski hill. Keep up the great work Tom!

  • Great info…

    But the production value is terrible. Volume spikes make it borderline unlistenable, which is a shame. Tom and his guests have good conversations about all things skiing; clean up the audio and this becomes a five star podcast.
