Not only the best podcast within shovel lake county, but the best period anywhere. Great interviews and insights!

Appreciate having another nordic ski podcast—particularly at the NCAA and RMISA level. Ryan is obviously an informed guy with good questions. It’s unfortunate, therefore, that someone whose livelihood and interests depend upon reliable snow cover and genuine winter conditions infers on his podcast that global climate change isn’t real or effecting climate, snowfall, and temperatures in a way that endangers the sport. I suggest that Ryan invite Jessie Diggins and Gus Schumaker onto his pod to talk about their work with Save Our Winters and how their recent experiences in Trondheim exemplify how global climate change is already impacting our sport.

The intros and outros are too long, but all the stuff in the middle is great. Like the opinions and takes. Glad I don’t have to scour the web for the info that’s provided. Keep it up, from another guy from Minnesota.

Great podcast, really appreciate your passion for the sport. Cheers

I love the podcast. Thanks for the insight.

The podcast at times shines with great content such as the interview with Zach Caldwell, which was terrific in covering ski design and selection. But more recently Ryan tends to be repetitive in expressing his opinion on a topic and takes forever to move on. Each podcast also starts with too long of the same intro that I regularly fast forward through.
