  • 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.
