A refreshing look at motorcycle culture

Great job on the podcast. I enjoy your perspective on our two wheeled obsession. It was six bodies deep at the LD Products booth in Springfield! Enjoy your time riding

If Rodin’s “Thinker” came alive and rode a motorcycle, he’d follow this podcast

What I like about this podcast is that as Mark Barnes reads one of his essays about motorcycle riding, it’s a lot like listening to a well read audiobook rather than the typical interview/discussion type podcasts. The questions he answers at the tail end of each episode are provided in a thoughtful manner as well; Barnes explores each one very systematically and thoughtfully. His podcast about the Fog Lights turned out to be more of an allusion It was almost like having a little therapy session as it led to me reflect about my own mental health during these post-Covid lockdown times during my commute into work. It’s rare to find podcasts that are both entertaining AND insightful without the host (or guest) overpowering the medium. I look forward to many more episodes!
