Customer Reviews
If you enjoy locks and locksport check this out!
This podcast is part of my Monday routine and I absolutely love it. I’m an active member of the locksport community and the topics are not only interesting and entertaining but relevant as well!
A Locksport Must!!
I truly couldn’t imagine anyone else hosting this podcast besides Charles Current! He does an AMAZING job of hosting, pulling material from all sources & social media platforms, researching for new info., news, etc. to tie everything together in one place. He has news, stories, giveaway announcements, recent developments in locks, tools, & all things “locksport” related. I’m so thankful he took this podcast on & ran with it! It’s available on all of your favorite podcast platforms, as well as, on YouTube for those of you that don’t listen to podcasts otherwise. Top notch cast & material! Thanks, Charles, for all that you do to make this podcast possible!😊🔐🙌🏼
Essential listening for LS practitioners
From giveaways, to discounts/sales, to interviews, to news and tips, this podcast has it all! Great production techniques with professional presentation—you really can’t ask for more. Highly recommended for beginners and advanced pickers alike. Thank you for the pod! Please keep it up, it’s appointment weekly listening for me, and I’m sure many, many others. Being a solo LS fan, it’s hard to connect to others IRL sometimes; this fills that gap and makes me feel connected to the LS community at large.
