talking lead is the sh** ,

Second nature Ep 1 - thumbs up!

Great first episode! Loved it!

Sports are people too

Dylan has a knack for casual, fluid, gab that draws the story out of his guests and brings attention to the person behind the athlete. His genuine enthusiasm, depth of knowledge, and natural skills as an interviewer make it a listen I keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

Leading trail running culture

Always relevant and insightful.
