I love everything about this podcast. The fact that Tris researches (or just knows about) the interviewee leads to in depth and inciteful content which you don't get with off the hoof interviews. He gets the right balance of being respectful without blowing smoke. Boxing people seem to open up to him because he has no bias or ulterior agenda.

Another brilliant episode. Barry was insightful and candid which is the best aspect of these long form podcasts. It would have been great to hear a bit more about events such as GGG v Canelo as it was one of the fights of this generation and Barry was ringside. Knowing in detail about what goes into such a day/event both logistically and emotionally would be hugely interesting. However, it is understandable that you can't spend hours on each subject (although I'd listen).

Amazing Podcast. It's a massive treat and thr hours fly by. Best podcast out there every question and answer on all interviews has bite or meaning. It's rich in entertaining stories and I think every boxer should be on it and have their say. The questions are bang on and not afraid to ask the hard questions. Tis wicked banging

A very good insight to the world of boxing, always enjoy the interview style that encourages open & honest accounts. Think Claude is onto something when he highlights the advantages of podcasts over TV interviews - I find they get closer to the source.
