James has a lot of guests, but he’s so great at picking excellent athletes to bring on and having a conversation in a way that makes everyone comfortable and engaging. Seriously impressed by his interview skills!
Professional and elite sports frequently feel so distant and difficult to grasp for the average person. James does a great job removing all the noise and gets into real, down-to-earth conversations with the sport’s best. It’s refreshing to listen to a podcast that puts genuineness above all else. Keep up the great work!

Amazing interviews giving athletes in an underrepresented arena of our sport a platform to share their stories, training and race experiences.
