- Fix Your Speech.
Does the host get paid every time she says “like”? It makes the podcast unlistenable.

United States4 years ago - Greatly improved with the new host
While I’ll stand by my previous comments on episodes hosted by Jason, I’m pleasantly surprised by Rachel Perkins. I’ve listened to her interviews with Tara Geraghty Moats and Jim Galanes and they are stellar. She clearly does her research before the interviews and it shows in the depth and quality of discussion.
Jason's interview style is random and usually fails to flow with what the interviewee says. There are many examples where he has botched interviews with some pretty stellar guests, such... more

Apple Podcasts5mmwagsUnited States7 years ago - Room for improvement - squandered opportunities
Jason's interview style is random and usually fails to flow with what the interviewee says. There are many examples where he has botched interviews with some pretty stellar guests, such as the one with Marit Bjorgen where Jason asked the offensive question of whether she's aware of any doping on the Norwegian team. Or the interview with Dr. Stephen Seiler where Jason cuts off Stephen at times and just doesn't seem to grasp the concepts of what Dr. Seiler was saying. For comparison on what a go... more

One of the most candid and revealing interviews with a skier caught in Operation Aderlass blood doping ring.

Canada7 years ago - Excellent Glimpse
Jason does an excellent job showing the many nuanced aspects of the Nordic world, and the casual, yet informed style he brings to his interviews really encourages his guests to open up about their lives and their passion for the sport. I look forward to every episode!
Apple Podcasts5Emi303United States8 years ago - Lowell Bailey interview is excellent
Lowell is fascinating to listen to. The interview is best when there is follow-up questions from the interviewer. Sometimes the interviews on this podcast feel slightly disjointed - a little awkward. E.g. they switch to new topics without a smooth transition and the interviews often end abruptly. But I enjoy listening to most of them and hope they continue. Thank you for the efforts...
