The latest podcast with John Cobb was excellent storytelling! John’s deep experience, humility and ability to paint a picture through words was a great listen to anyone interested in bikes, engineering or problem solving. Good job to Josh for knowing when to talk and knowing when to listen!
Five stars!

Great Pod!!
Apple Podcasts5JimV 1United States2 years ago - First seasons were great.
I really wish there was more Josh and less of the other guys. I used to love Hottie and Fatty but lately it seems like they’re talking just to talk. 15% less Fatty, 7.5% less Hottie would drastically change the show. Also, stop making me skip the first 2-3 minutes of the show. Give me 1 short advert and then just get into it.
