The Steep Stuff Podcast goes way beyond the nuanced race results and gear talk. James is a true professional and there’s a clear sense of perfecting the craft over the last year. The conversations feel real, unforced, and human. It’s more like sitting in on a long run chat than listening to an interview. You’re listening and feel like you’re part of the conversation.
What sets it apart is the patience, the honesty of each guest, and James ability to drive the podcast forward. Guests are given space to think, reflect, and be honest, especially around identity, career shifts, and the sacrifices behind performance. It respects the intelligence of the listener and doesn’t try to manufacture/force specificities to sell on listeners.
If you care about the why behind trail running and hearing from names that typically don’t get recognition beyond the podium, this one’s a must-listen.
