  • New woman is irritating and interrupts too much

    Tell the new woman to take a breath and stop constantly interrupting. I had to stop listening to the allied interview because of her constant interrupting

  • Not Good Anymore

    The co-hosts on this show have largely ruined it. I’d love to hear Patrick do the show alone, with some structured interviews with industry folks etc. Until that day, this one has become a hard pass.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paceline Podcast 474
Q: What makes Zirkel's lenses unique compared to standard sport eyewear?
We use a non-uniform nylon base and a Zeiss partnership to deliver higher Abbey value, zero distortion, no peripheral darkening, and a lens system tailored to trail and gravel conditions, plus a replaceable hinge and heat-moldable frames for a personalized fit.
Paceline Podcast 474
Q: How did you come to combine elite athletics with optical science to form Zirkel Optics?
I fused the athletic and the optician perspectives—Dominic is an optician and I'm the jock. We mixed our knowledge with a practical, performance-driven approach to create lenses that improve vision, safety, and comfort for athletes.
Paceline Podcast 471
Q: What safety or health concerns do travelers have given regional outbreaks, like Ebola, and how do you address them?
Pieter emphasizes on-ground knowledge and up-to-date local conditions, noting that outbreaks can be contained regionally; guests are advised based on current intelligence and safety protocols, including non-boarding travel considerations.
Paceline Podcast 471
Q: How big are the typical groups, and how do you manage different skill levels?
Open editions target around 15–20 riders with several guides; the group is formed with a Belgian guide presence, and activities are adapted day-by-day so riders with different backgrounds can ride together or opt for private variations.
Paceline Podcast 469
Q: What was the most meaningful part of the experience beyond finishing?
The community support and charitable donations were the most powerful, making the day about more than personal achievement and turning Emporia into a hometown stage for cycling and philanthropy.
