  • Awesome content, production quality a bit questionable

    I love it when 3-4 videos show up on my podcast feed from the new races. The interviews are great and pretty inspiring much of the time. I would give a full 5 stars, but there needs to be an investment in an HD camera and some mics for the guests and host(s). That would take this to the next level! Sometimes the interviews in windy areas are really challenging to here. Cheers!

  • Pure Awesomeness!

    Its so nice to hear as if you are right there on interviews, discussions of our most wondered questions, etc. I love hearing the questions you ask and it seems that you are right on with making sure you get the nitty gritty out of them in a laughable way. Keep up the great work and congrats on getting in to the WS100, we'll be cheering (and keep asking first 100mi Qs, its nice not to have to reinvent the wheel) ; )
