The best podcast duo going: Fifi and Skinner. Great guests. Good conversation. Chilled and funny. All-around brilliant sporting podcast. Keep it up lads.
One of my favourite podcasts is PodCrash. The guests they have on are varied but always interesting given their Elite sporting backgrounds. The approach is relaxed, friendly and informal which seems to only strengthen the interviews they do. Genuinely look forward to the next podcast as soon as I've finished one, no doubt because of the amazing guests they talk too. Thanks guys, keep up the great work 😊👍😊
I'm impressed by how professional these have become. And I really like the variety of guests not just from cycling.
