I love all these episodes, however the one with the Salomon crew has been one of my favs. Listening to the talk about the QST series has been so fascinating. I’ve been on a pair of QST 106 from the 23-24 lineup (purple top sheet) and I feel like I’m going to be on these for the rest of my ski days. Just scratching the surface of what they can do and how much I can improve.

Love the show. Can’t wait to see this group on snowboards.

Always enjoying the gear discussions. Listening to you guys a lot tuning skis. Have fun on the boards. Hope you have more best misses than crashes

This show is great for the guests they get and the subject matter that they cover. It’s all stuff I want to know but I always quit listening at some point because of the host, Jonathon. I think he is knowledgeable and eventually asks good questions, but with no exaggeration, the ratio of him talking to the guest talking is 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1. It gets frustrating to have to wait patiently for him to ask a 3 minute question to hear a good 1 minute answer from the guest. Although his questions are generally good, in the end I feel I should know more about what the expert guest thinks on a subject vs the host and I find that never happens in this podcast. 50-50 at best with the more talkative guests. Sorry about this but I do believe this show is unique and covers stuff I love. I just get too impatient to finish most shows.

Jonathan and the Blister Team make my commute to and from the office tolerable listening to all their different podcast channels. Now it’s time to get Jonathan on that snowboard!

Give the blister guys a listen if you are anywhere at all into skiing. Get Jonathan on a snowboard already! Skiing ruined my life - If you don’t do it this year, you will only be one year older when you do.

Jonathan and the team are the world's finest snow-sport product experts. There is no other team which does more work more thoughtfully and more thoroughly. Their insights are experience-driven. They are so deeply committed to getting objective unbiased results. And the fun they have as a crew is evident and infectious. They've created an enduring platform and community in the world of mountain sports.

Overall, an excellent podcast: fascinating guests, a great breadth of interesting and relevant topics, and a truly incredible depth of knowledge and experience in every episode. I've learned so, so much listening to GEAR:30! My sole complaint - not even a complaint really, just something I think could be improved - is that the hosts are prone to wandering off-topic, and getting into long-winded digressions that aren't particularly useful or entertaining in the context of a podcast all about technical gear. I occasionally find myself looking at my phone and saying "okay, get on with it please."

Feels repetitive. Theres only so many times you can hear a ski referred to as playful. Also, the host’s (Johnathan) voice is annoying it always sounds like he’s whining. The best episodes are the ones with guests…especially bootfitters and boot manufacturers.

I can’t get enough of your podcasts! Your guests and topics are relevant, entertaining and educational. Your ski reviews are transparent, thoughtful, and also educational. A persona can learn a lot about how different ski designs can impact a skis performance or characteristics simply by listening to the reviews and your discussions.
