  • Love the content, and suggest the audio editing be considered

    Great show! Suggestion: The editing frequently sounds like it has been awkwardly clipped together (maybe A.I. ?) … something for the producers to consider.

  • It’s all about Matt.

    I really like the podcast and Scott or Ashley are great hosts but I’m done listening to Matt. He is quite knowledgeable and experienced but he won’t shut up and let his guests talk. He constantly interrupts and talks over them. Not a good interviewer.

  • Great content, lousy audio

    I’ve been listening to the OJ podcast for many years (and been a subscriber longer). I really enjoy the wide selection of content and the very knowledgeable and experienced guests. Unfortunately the audio capture makes many episodes nearly impossible to hear, either from bad call-in connections that break down or from not consistently speaking into the microphone causing audio volume to go from unintelligible to speaker blowing highs. I hope they can fix these issues because this podcast is g... more

  • After all these years.

    You guys have been doing these podcasts for years and still have not figured out audio. Put in some earbuds and listen to your shows. One person you can barely hear while you can hear every grunt or sigh Scott makes. It makes it very hard to listen to.

44,000 Kilometers on a Vespa Scooter: Juvena Huang on the Ride of a Lifetime
Q: What inspired your foray into guided tours in India after your travels?
The many transformative experiences in Ladakh and the realization that many people hold back due to conditioning inspired me to create tours to help others push their own boundaries and experience the region's beauty with proper support.
44,000 Kilometers on a Vespa Scooter: Juvena Huang on the Ride of a Lifetime
Q: How did you handle challenging conditions or repairs while on the road?
I began taking more ownership of the repairs, learning the bike's sounds and behaviors, and staying with mechanics to ensure they understood my bike's specifics; this empowered me to communicate effectively and manage issues on the road.
44,000 Kilometers on a Vespa Scooter: Juvena Huang on the Ride of a Lifetime
Q: Why did you choose a scooter for such a long journey?
I chose a Vespa because I am petite and needed a bike I could manage by myself; the two-stroke engine is simple, widely repairable, and I could carry what mattered most in the luggage racks, while avoiding depending on continental parts.
