I tried to find the video over lunch…there used to be a help video of you/jon/(chad?)…not the usual podcast but sitting on a couch…I was poking around the site during some forced down time watching that video…one of the fam observed you looked half dead…I said that’s the CEO…she leaned on my shoulder and said I should sign up because you looked like you could use thehelp. Several weeks later I was doing some hard workout while we were watching Trollhunters & she said, ‘I bet these are what makes Nate half dead.’ Couple months later I had the podcast on while I was fixing dinner & she said Nate doesn’t look half dead anymore…we are doing good!
So. Half Dead Nate. Sorry you had to find out like this.
They do need to rehash stuff. It’s a bit unfair for new users to be expected to go back over 100’s of podcasts to find what they’re looking for.
I think a nice way to do it would be to have one podcast a month that was aimed at more basic type questions that come up a lot from year 1 and 2 cyclists. Fundamentals you could call it. Dunno, but yeah at some point it does get hard to find what you want and there’s a ton of excellent discussion. There’s no clever software that I know of that searches topics discussed within podcasts. Podcasting as a platform itself is underdeveloped. Would be amazing if they were bookmarked in some way so people could ‘google’ podcasts and find what they’re looking for within them. Not just TR but all podcasts.
It’s free so who cares. I want more each week because they are the best thing to listen to while I do my workouts. Puts me in the training and racing mindset.
I only have a TR account because of the podcast - I’ve probably used TR twice all summer since I’m outside on my mountain bike, but I keep paying because I want to support these guys. I look forward to listening to these every week. Even if there are topics I’m not interested, there’s something I find useful every episode!
it’s good stuff - they have become like friends and we are BS’ing with them around questions, races, diet . . . just like we do with our local friends. How many times do we cover the same junk in friend talks, family discussions, same conversations at work, etc. Repetition is fine and there are probably enough nuances that are different to make it just as interesting again. Keep it up - your guys are a part of my week !
