“Mario’s podcast, the morning shakeout, is an extension of my kit I put on before I head out the door on my runs. It’s my running buddy on the long run, my commute companion when I have to drive to my running location. The nuanced conversations are captivating, and the questions thoughtful.
I...”Read full review »

“I never leave reviews. Like, ever. I don’t have the time or patience. But at the end of every show Mario asks if listeners would review the show because it helps. And honestly, for as much enjoyment as I’ve received listening to these podcasts I feel it’s the very least I could do.
I tripped...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy the recent format shift the show has taken. Fewer, higher quality, more interesting episodes is much more enjoyable for the listener. More shows could take a cue from the Morning Shakeout and learn that more shows does not equate to better programming.”

No matter the conversation, he gets deep and beyond the low hanging fruit. His questions result in vulnerable and meaningful conversations which often go far beyond the...”Read full review »

Some favorites are the episodes with Yassine Diboun, Mike Smith, Katie Arnold, and Dinée Dorame. I sometimes wish the...”Read full review »
