The real deal (training is nuanced)

In the best way possible, these guys are the opposite of that youtube video with a title like: “one simple trick to dominate your next marathon in 2025…”
Audio editing dramatically worse in 2025

I find these two mostly fun and informative to listen to, though recently it’s a real struggle to listen. For a few weeks one of their mics was reverberating and this week one of them was on an audio delay. They could use someone to edit their show, or at least listen to it for sound quality prior to publishing. Unrelated, the wickets content they advertised on the show as available in a nicely packaged format through their website was incomplete (just an intro pdf) when I joined the scholar program last year. Had to read a huge sprawling message board thread to try to extract the content myself. Promoting content as complete and ready to go to recruit paid subscribers while not having that content ready is a blemish.
Good content but poor audio quality

Steve’s mic is echoing - Great content but can’t hear very well!
Half Good

Steve is incredible, but John is unlistenable - during interviews he asks and answers his own questions and suffocates the listener. If I have to hear the word “zeitgeist” one more time I may snap. He has a wonderful knowledge base but his personality over the air makes me want to puke.
