So I’ve been a boot fitter and sales clerk and ski boutiques for many years. And I finally discovered gear 30 and in particular there deep dives. oh my God this is what I’ve been looking for! Getting into the nitty-gritty of product releases, production, And materials used and even getting into...Read full review »

This show is great for the guests they get and the subject matter that they cover. It’s all stuff I want to know but I always quit listening at some point because of the host, Jonathon. I think he is knowledgeable and eventually asks good questions, but with no exaggeration, the ratio of him...Read full review »

Always enjoying the gear discussions. Listening to you guys a lot tuning skis. Have fun on the boards. Hope you have more best misses than crashes

Jonathan and the Blister Team make my commute to and from the office tolerable listening to all their different podcast channels. Now it’s time to get Jonathan on that snowboard!

Give the blister guys a listen if you are anywhere at all into skiing. Get Jonathan on a snowboard already! Skiing ruined my life - If you don’t do it this year, you will only be one year older when you do.

Overall, an excellent podcast: fascinating guests, a great breadth of interesting and relevant topics, and a truly incredible depth of knowledge and experience in every episode. I've learned so, so much listening to GEAR:30! My sole complaint - not even a complaint really, just something I...Read full review »

Feels repetitive. Theres only so many times you can hear a ski referred to as playful. Also, the host’s (Johnathan) voice is annoying it always sounds like he’s whining. The best episodes are the ones with guests…especially bootfitters and boot manufacturers.

Probably my favourite ski podcast. Thanks for the in-depth gear reviews and in-depth details on design and construction. Hadn’t tuned in for a while and am really enjoying the Gear Therapy! Sessions. It’s great to hear your process to help people get on the best gear for them. It really sells...Read full review »

Jonathan and the team are the world's finest snow-sport product experts. There is no other team which does more work more thoughtfully and more thoroughly. Their insights are experience-driven. They are so deeply committed to getting objective unbiased results. And the fun they have as a...Read full review »

I can’t get enough of your podcasts! Your guests and topics are relevant, entertaining and educational. Your ski reviews are transparent, thoughtful, and also educational. A persona can learn a lot about how different ski designs can impact a skis performance or characteristics simply by...Read full review »

You just suggested that because I am old I am more likely to be racist and therefore when I die that will be a good thing . . . apparently on the theory I could be racist. Wow. BTW - I am 71 . . . did I make your “Old People” cutoff??? Not sure here. In any case I can tell you one thing that is...Read full review »

One of the best ski podcasts I’ve found. So much great content. But also, in for broken wrists.
JKingster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/24
Love this podcast and all of the Blister series of casts! Gear:30 has delivered lots of useful info. And I’m getting into Crafted too. Good stuff Jonathan! (Also my son’s name..) you’ll be boarding in no time!!
DCossack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/24
I’m definitely spending more time on the ski bench fixing rock damage this season, and Gear:30 always provides some much needed entertainment in the gear room. Thanks for all your hard work, and let’s kick up the snow storms in the new year… you’re gonna need some soft days to learn...Read full review »

If you like exploring through the mountains on any type of gear this is the podcast for you. Very informative and entertaining!
KID_BOOZER via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/24
Gear:30 is a great podcast for those who like ski gear. Also, I want to see Jonathan break both of his wrists.
SteveTheGearLover via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/02/24
Would love to see them on snowboards.
CP32$$ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/23
Doing it for the broken wrists! But also genuinely great podcast
abby-east coast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/23
Great podcast, would be better if Cody Townsend was in it more regularly though…love the in-depth, no-nonsense, unbiased opinions on gear that enable folks to make educated decisions when purchasing their next setup. Reason why I’m #OneOfTheHundred
TheCowSaysMou via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/23
Great informative and fun discussions about the best activity-skiing (occasionally snow blading and shortly snowboarding?). I love the in-depth discussion of all things ski gear. Any thoughts about reviewing/discussiong ski tuning equipment?
Sayers272 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/25/23
First off thanks for the wonderful content and discussions. Your podcasts are always in the rotation on the work commute. Thoughts on the blister community reviews: Add Skier type: frontside, off piste, backcountry, freeride, freestyle, racing. Scores: change 0-10 to 1-11, because spinal...Read full review »

I promise, it’s pretty good!

These guys and gals go way inside baseball on all the latest gear.
robDinCB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/23
I feel like we have heard about many superb crashes and close calls. However, we need a real live review on if Blister Plus actually works, straight from the person who promotes the absolute crap out of it, Jonathan. Will it spot him when both wrists end up in casts due to a gruesome bunny slope ...Read full review »

I’m writing a review to see Jonathan on a snowboard … getting more than SIX INCHES OF AIR. In all seriousness, I had long ignored the entire Blister universe of content because I wasn’t a subscriber. With a large and young family I’m happy just to see each little one gain their wings and ski...Read full review »

Jonathan and lately Kara talk gear with all sorts in the ski industry from bootfitters at a local shop to product designers at major ski companies. Especially like the deep dives on boot technology with Matt Manser and the yearly updates from Scott Andrus at ON3P.
jetspdx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/23
I’m a big fan of all Blister podcasts, and this is no exception. If you like going into detail on gear, this is your nirvana. Plus, I just wanna see Jonathan eat it on a snowboard.
akraph via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 12/12/23
Gear 30 Blister podcast is my go-to for ski gear insights. Two-thirds of my ski quiver owes its awesomeness to their recommendations. Solid content that fuels my mountain adventures.
Skikirbs via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/09/23
This show encourages my bank account to go for broke! So now it’s time that Jonathan go for broke squared: two broken arms but snowboard experience!
JesseM85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/23
Yep. Let’s see some full send snowboard action. Also great podcast content!
Jwillandsomerandomcharacters via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/23
Keep up all the great work! Love the podcast
Audrey.P. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/23
Also I want Jonathan to break his wrists 😃
Robin Zimmerman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/23
Love the show! I’m just posting this to get Jonathon on a snowboard.
Big Hadi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/08/23
I really enjoy this podcast. Quality content, earnest reviewers, excellent level of detail.
Eazy_did_it via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/23
First of all, I’m a member who’s on auto pay, so obviously I’m a huge fan. Second of all I agree with Jonathan‘s idea that if you’ve listened to a podcast more than five times you owe a review [and I don’t want to see him break his wrist on a snowboard!] I’ve listened to a number of Gear 30 and...Read full review »

You want to get delightfully deep into weeds on ski and bike gear? This is the podcast for you.
twag02 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/23
Actively participating in an organized effort to help Jonathan go from 1 to 2 broken arms. Oh, yeah, and sure, the show is great and all that too…..
Bmiltenberg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/23
This podcast made me install an x-ray machine in my basement where I can forensically dissect my skiing gear. Welcome to the never-unending continuum of vaguely connected topics that make up a universe of their own.
supergangl via Apple Podcasts · Austria · 12/05/23
I have been skiing for around 52 years. I’ve been buying skis and gear since 1977. For years, I relied on simple gear reviews from Powder Magazine, Ski, Magazine, Skiing magazine, Freeskiing Magazine, etc. Somehow I stumbled upon BLISTER. I believe it was through YouTube. Now I am hooked on the...Read full review »

All of the Blister pods are funny, informative and outdoor oriented.

Excellent. Entertaining and informative podcast. Depth of information is great. Appreciate the free content. “Donated” to the cause by way of a yearly subscription. Thanks for the podcast entertainment.

Listen to hear fun stories and helpful information to improve your skiing experience!
ruggerkiki via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/23
So I was in Boone, I said I ski pipe, rails and powder and need on ski for that and a tune that will cover all that for the next week. Walked out with a severed artery 😂 Great episode, one amongst many.

I don’t like snowboarding but that shouldn’t stop anyone else.

Love all episodes and conversations. Gear:30 have given me great advice on all aspects of gear!
Skyler Dayton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/23
I’m just here cause my husband apparently wants to see some guy named Jonathan wipe out on a snowboard??
April and Nick via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/27/23
I've long considered myself a gear nerd, but Gear:30 frequently goes deep into the weeds to explore topics. I always learn new things. Also, snowboarding.Read full review »
