  • Have Some Enthusiasm!

    I have tried listening to this podcast a couple of times, but the amount of dead air in between people talking makes me think something is wrong with the podcast. The complete lack of enthusiasm and monotone voices when they’re talking about everything doesn’t make me excited to listen to the podcast either. It’s like they’re reading off of a script. Show some excitement for running and that will make me excited to hear what you’re saying.

  • Knowledgeable, entertaining, funny

    Jonathan Gault and the Johnson twins are dialed into all things running, they discuss some controversial topics within the sport that some other sports journalists are afraid to, they have some entertaining arguments, bring on great guests, and are clearly very knowledgeable on what they talk about and keep you up to date on all the latest news from around the world of running.

    Favorite running podcast.

  • Jon Galt needs better co hosts

    Jon Galt = 5 star reporter

    Robert Johnson = 0 star

    Weldon Johnson = 1 star

    This could be a great pod if they didn’t tell Robert when they were recording or if they just found Jon a co host who actually does some research and doesn’t say ridiculous (often offensive to the athletes) things all show.
