  • Peter Pan Syndrome

    Believe in the Run have really gone downhill with their podcasts and reviews. It just feels like they take the easiest or laziest route with their reviews. The podcast has just become obnoxious, people might like it at first, but then these guys get old fast. Their heads have gotten too big, Thomas and Meg have such an air about them like they’re too cool or better than everyone else. They’re 40 and 50 year olds who still act like they are in college. You know those kids in high school or colleg... more

  • Dirt Division

    I’m a trail runner so I tried listening to Dirt Division. Thought I’d be getting an episode reviewing the new Speedgoats. Instead it was half an hour of the hosts whining about their various social phobias. Guess I’ll never know what they thought of the new shoes, I had to turn it off. Just terrible.

  • Enjoying Dirt Division

    As a trail-forward runner, I’m enjoying the Dirt Division episodes - good content and great guests. What would make it even better would be if Taylor stopped interrupting so much. When he kept interrupting his co-host, I figured they were having technical issues, but when he interrupted Sophia Laukli during pretty much every answer, I got frustrated because I wanted to hear what she had to say.

  • The Dirt Division

    Love The Drop podcast but the new hosts from The Dirt Division, specifically Taylor, needs to stop interrupting his co-host while she speaks. It’s hard to listen when he’s constantly doing this. Let her speak and let her finish her sentences!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E457| Charlie Rodman - Whiskey Connoisseur
Q: How did you first get into whiskey?
The guest describes a gradual shift from college beer to whiskey as a broader interest, eventually working with a client in the industry which sparked deeper involvement and ownership over bottles and casks.
445 | Charlotte Heidmann, Category Director ADIZERO - Running Footwear
Q: What was your finish time and how did the product feel after the race?
Finish time was 3:36:48, and she noted that her kit felt extremely comfortable, with the gear performing well across the race and the next day, while also acknowledging some practical gear-fit realities like pockets for gels and the choice of shorts.
445 | Charlotte Heidmann, Category Director ADIZERO - Running Footwear
Q: How did the training plan and the app influence a debut marathon for you?
The guest used Rana as an app to structure training, followed guidance for tempo and track sessions, and adapted as needed. Despite following an aggressive time projection, the actual experience highlighted the importance of listening to the body, sticking to recommended shoe usage, and balancing confidence with humility in pacing and recovery.
445 | Charlotte Heidmann, Category Director ADIZERO - Running Footwear
Q: What made you choose Tokyo as your first marathon?
Tokyo was chosen for its culture and its generally quieter race environment, which was appealing for a first marathon and for avoiding excessive energy drain. The city offered a balance of personal challenge and a unique race atmosphere, allowing focus on the run itself rather than a hyper-competitive crowd.
The Dirt Division E022 | Big Alta, Moab, Salomon Aero Glide GRVL 4 (ft. Grayson Murphy)
Q: What are your immediate goals post-partum for racing?
Grayson aims to run a road marathon and hit an OTQ, with the ultimate goal of competing at the Olympic Trials, while also keeping flexibility around her postpartum timeline and training progression.
