  • New Format

    The format with the listener Q&A is great. Please try to reel in the vocal fry, it can be very hard to listen with the croaking.

  • No longer a must listen

    Missing the old crew. Especially Mike Levy. The podcast used to be useful and entertaining. Now I am bored and usually only listen if Mike K is on the episode or if I have nothing else to listen to. I have abandoned many episodes half way through out of disinterest. That NEVER happened with Mike Levy. Mike K/Brian P episodes were good too, but Levy added a level of enjoyment that is sorely missing now.

  • Awful interview with the G.O.A.T

    Just listened for 15 minutes before I had to switch this off! The interview with Nino was awful and had zero energy and context.

    Why ask him about 32inch wheels ffs! Surely he deserves better questioning and some better banter! His legacy is epic! Come on PB!
