Australiaa year ago - Pod is fine but...
... good content, riders, pro interviews but Neethlings obsession with name-dropping Rogan - flaming conspiracy loon & polarizing grievance-dealing divisive figure (like they're friends or something) - is enough to tune out. Admire whoever you like but no need to bring political hacks into the pod.

United States2 years ago - Andrew needs to shut up
It’s a good show. Guests like Allan Millway and Sven Martin really make it worth following. But Andrew is so convinced we need his exhaustive take on everything that it gets distracting and tiresome sometimes.
Apple Podcasts4jm2eUnited States2 years ago - Top level mtb pod
Dunno how I took me so long to find but after running 15-20 pods I can easily say this five star material. The only gripe I could muster is wishing there were 2 pods a week, or at least immediate pre/post DH racing pods during the DH season (and why Andrew ref's Rogan as if he should model bloviating tinfoil hatter). Having Eric Carter on every few episodes for a 15 minute slot would rule. Andrew is one of the OGs, has a compelling voice & ideas. This is easily one of my top 3 mtb pods.
