  • Energy Gels

    Physiology Effects

    Is it possible to include content on energy gels. I am concerned that athletes using them too frequently in training may be having an affect on stress and adaption due to possible poor development of mitochondrial biogenesis - basically could gels interfere with the natural process of storing glycogen. Thanks

  • Audio editing dramatically worse in 2025

    I find these two mostly fun and informative to listen to, though recently it’s a real struggle to listen. For a few weeks one of their mics was reverberating and this week one of them was on an audio delay. They could use someone to edit their show, or at least listen to it for sound quality prior to publishing.

  • Half Good

    Steve is incredible, but John is unlistenable - during interviews he asks and answers his own questions and suffocates the listener. If I have to hear the word “zeitgeist” one more time I may snap. He has a wonderful knowledge base but his personality over the air makes me want to puke.
