  • My go to podcast

    Any drive over 30 minutes and I search out the latest Tyrekickers podcast. Matt and Max have entertained me on many trips and hit precisely the right (in my opinion!) blend of knowledge and banter. There’s plenty of content to associate with, plenty of controversial views to agree or disagree with. I only wish they had the resource to release more often. Definitely a 5 star podcast.

  • Love it!

    Stumbled across the pod while browsing, have become addicted and have binge listened all episodes.

    Easy listening, informative and enjoyable listen. The relationship between you is the icing on the cake and enhances the whole shebang.

    I'm used to listening to 7 episodes a week now, so if you would be good enough to record one a day that would mean I don't have to go cold turkey with one a fortnight.

    Keep up your most excellent work

    Cheers
