    Brakken Is Back/Venezuela OCR

    Brakken Is Back/Venezuela OCR

    In this riveting episode, we welcome Carlos, an aficionado in Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) from Venezuela. He dives into the current landscape and challenges faced by the OCR community in Venezuela and across South America.

    Following Carlos, Brakken returns to our podcast to dive deep into the dichotomy of entertaining versus informing. We explore the balance content creators must strike between engaging their audience and providing factual, useful information. Brakken delves into the responsibility of race directors and the standards they should be held to. The conversation takes a fun twist as we discuss the spectrum of "goofy vs. hybrid" race events.

    With a blend of humor, insights, and thought-provoking discussions, this episode promises to be both entertaining and enlightening.

Best all encompassing OCR Media Podcast

Matt and Dave are great! I'm a big supporter of the sport. Lots of good information on everything obstacle course racing, whether it's obstacles, hybrid, long endurance ultras, etc... Lots of interviews with some of the biggest athletes, operators, trainers, and brands in the sport. Good humor and a light-hearted conversations are enjoyable and entertaining. Dedicated content with 2 sometimes 3 podcasts a week.

Not an Obstacle Racing Podcast

Little to do with OCR. Mostly unedited ramblings of a man who once did an obstacle race or two and now pays his bills podcasting.

Not clean

Not good for a family podcast
