“I've been with Steve for many years and have enjoyed his humor and outlook on what it is like to be a runner. Unfortunately Steve is now more focused on fantasies concerning Global Warming or whatever it is called these days. I am really starting to wonder if Steve isn't beginning to lose it. ...”Read full review »

“Recently, the frequejncy of Phedippidations has dropped off and, on occasion, the content had drifted from the running we all enjoy. This good news is that the older episodes hold up and make for good listening. The podcast is very well researched, written and produced. Steve is at his best...”Read full review »

“Steve started out having a pretty good podcast, looked forward to my Saturday long runs partly due to the informative and entertaining nature of Phedippidations. I can no longer say this, Steve has fallen into the abyss of nihilism as well as narcissism, if one fails to accompany him in his...”Read full review »

“We all change over time but I feel like my run with Steve came to a fork in the road. We parted ways about a year or so ago. I couldn't take anymore of Evolution, Nike bashing and false religions and Zen. I've just downloaded a couple episodes. I miss my friend Steve. I hope maybe he'll come back...”Read full review »

“This used to be a great podcast about running.

I listened to the beginning of the latest episode and...”Read full review »

Steve’s voice is soothing and it was just nice to listen to and an awesome way to start my day. I imagine thats still the same. However, the show has ventured off the beaten path and has...”Read full review »

While I certainly...”Read full review »

“I have been listening to Phedippidations since April 2009 and I feel that I know Steve even though we have never met.
I don't run as much as I like due to injuries, but I enjoy the podcast anyway.
Wish this technology had been available back when I used to run marathons.

“You were there when I was lost, not that I am found by any means, but it was a privilege to run with you. Life is a trip. I just received my microphone and am slowly taking the steps to making my own podcast. You for sure have earned a break. I hope to hear this podcast again.”
