“I wrote a review over a year ago after the 2nd or 3rd podcast noting how the connections/insight is a nice presence to the world of Triathlon media and the show will only get better. Myself, like almost every other fan of this sport, tunes in every week for the sole reasons of 1)we love this sport and crave info/analysis (like the world of NBA, NFL, etc) and 2) it is literally the only outlet that is dedicated to bringing professional news/analysis to the viewers (unless I am unaware of other sources?).
Every so often you all try to defend the podcast negativity by admitting you don’t know what your talking about, fake news, amateur hour, etc etc.
My question is why? Why aren’t all of you striving to bring the best content available? It’s almost like you guys have so much inside information/thoughts that you purposely brush off a deeper discussion. There are countless times where an interesting topic will come up but you brush it off bc 1)you’re not prepared or 2)you don’t think people care when In reality people do care and are interested in deeper insight.
Bottom line, if you compare yourselves to other professional analysis media outlets out there, you guys are way below what your capable of. You have this amazing platform and you’re butchering it. Do I hate listening to you guys, no, but it could be so so so much better(we’ll sometimes I do ;). If it’s true that you really don’t care about the quality (which you openly admit to.. not sure why?) then have a open forum where you figure out who wants to contribute to this amazing opportunity of growing the coverage of the sport and then make it happen. And Chelsea, learn long course. Guys, learn short course. Chelsea’s presence to the show is huge but she is wasting her opportunity of really making it special. You’ve got the keys to being the primary coverage and growth of Triathlon. Stop disclaiming that you are amateur hour and be better, please. Otherwise, step aside and figure out who wants to truly take the show to the next level.
I don’t want my rant to get in the way of being appreciative of you guys starting and continuing pro coverage, but it’s now over a year into the show. It would be nice to see it go from amateur hour to something more organized and thought out. I know this isn’t your full time job, so maybe that’s the primary reason.
Rant over.. hear you guys next week. 😐”
