  • Humble but knows his stuff!

    I love to listen to this podcast! One of the few who can articulate with humility and knowledge…and doesn’t say “like” every other word. Keep up the great work! I’m a fan!

  • Great guests - great conversation

    It was fun to hear you talking about Jay Johnson on a recent podcast. Jay was instrumental in me becoming a runner. He was the start of the running boom at our high school. Jay was 2 years older than me. His junior year he won the conference championship and I won the freshman championship. Jay and I then raced against each other in triathlons before he became a mountain running phenom.

  • Frank Shorter was so interesting!

    I had no idea who Frank Shorter was before listening to the first episode of The Buzz. I’m super intrigued by his story (the Munich gold medal and terrorist attacks!) and it’s cool to think about the impact he’s had on modern day running. I’m really excited to hear more from this podcast. Buzz Burrell is a legend!
