It’s such a fun listen every time!! Just listened to the Badger episode….Steph Smith is the person who ran in Crocs! She even runs winter ultras in them!!!
Y’all are so real! Keep it up. Want real life experiences with races, then this is the podcast for you!
I enjoy the podcast and the tell-it-like-it-is vibe. Unfortunately the audio quality is really rough. Somebody, please, get Stephanie a mic (and please, not a bad headset mic like it sounds like one of her co-hosts might be using).
Her audio in particular is so painful (laptop mic? and, with no attempt to deaden her echo?) that I often just stop listening. Thanks for the content, though!
Really enjoy listening to the podcast. I have a similar sense of humor as Andrew so it always entertaining to me. Love hearing the recent stories of Cocodona250!! Keep it coming guys and gal!!
Highly entertaining if sometimes (often) nonsensical. True tales from the trail that will leave you laughing and/or shaking your head. Don’t listen within earshot of your (my) kids.
