I’ll add in two that I listen to every week:
The Slow Ride Podcast. Comes out Tuesday mornings.
Just Riding Along Podcast. Comes out Monday mornings. Mountain bike focused. Pre-pandemic all three hosts worked in bike shops but now only one of them does. I still like their bike industry takes.
My lord I feel the same with FasCat and Ben taking over as Frank’s content person. It’s getting pretty annoying. I had to unfollow them on Instagram as the repetitive reels was getting to be too much. The podcast has turned into HRV all the time ( I get it’s the main driving force for the new app and all).
I kinda miss Jackson and Frank doing the pod. They worked well together and it was more about getting ready, race results, how to be better etc.
Payson’s pod is a great listen. He does seem a bit ‘off’. His old pods were all about the spirit, making sure everyone stopped at aid stations. He’s soon realized Keegan and Finsty dgaf about the ‘rules’ and he’s making changes to go with that crowd it seems.
For the Zwift racers on here: Nowhere Fast is probably my favorite podcast of all. It’s certainly the one I drop everything and listen to the second I see that an episode has dropped. It’s so damn funny.
point noted on the length of the EVOQ podcast! TBH, I keep the short ones short so that if someone is interested in “topic c”, they don’t have to sift past topic A and B to get to what they want. But even more honest, the production is much easier when it’s, sigh, just me, putting this together, and I can rip off some 10 minute ones when the idea pops in my head. (that in itself might be a bad strategy Lol). But working to make it better!
But longer format also makes sense. Thanks for the suggestion! and hopefully they’re helped!
