Great Podcast with dry humour
Top podcast lads. As an Aussie I love hearing the dry British humour amongst the quality dribble that you have been putting out. Keep it up, however, I’ve dropped a star because there always seems to be something not quite right with the audio...not just from the Skype thing. Get one of your army mates from Comms onto the situation Livesey!
Quality listen
Super podcast which I’ve been binging as I introduce myself to triathlon during Sydney’s lockdown. Mark and the team manage to keep it light hearted whilst also being very informative. Keep up the great work!
Top Triathlon Podcast!
Love the no nonsense approach Mark and the Team bring to each episode of The Brick Session.
