“Mike, you have been hitting out of the park with all the women you have interviewed over the past year, Wendy Fisher, Ingrid Backstrom, Rachel Burks, Michelle Parker, Maggie Vosin, Elyse Saugstad, to name just a few. The range of topics from racing, big mountain skiing, the Olympics & to...”Read full review »

“One of the best, if not the best, podcasts out there in the outdoor industry. As a current flatlander in North Dakota that yearns for his earlier days of mountain life, The Powell Movement keeps that part of me close. The variety of guest across eras, disciplines, both sides of the lenses, and...”Read full review »

“Mike delivers the goods when interviewing the movers and shakers in the action sports industry. He’s not afraid to ask the questions we all want answered.
The best thing is he does it in a fun, honest and entertaining way.
Keep up the good work Mike!”

“Mike has had almost everyone on and consistently gets the best interviews from his guests. The guests (mostly) get pretty comfortable with Mike and are able to have a dialogue which makes for an easy listen. I say mostly because when it seems like the story makes someone a bit squeamish he still...”Read full review »

“Phenomenal podcast! Mike always knows how to get the most of any interview, no matter who it may be with. I listen to a lot of podcasts in the ski industry & larger world of action sports in general, but in my opinion, all fall short where it counts in comparison. With the high quality guest...”Read full review »

“I was introduced to the Show by a couple of ladies sipping Fireball on chair 2 in Vail. Was skeptical to say the least but here I am still listening 4 years later. Mike does an amazing job with the interviews but also makes you feel like a friend is telling you the story of these amazing athletes.”

I’ve been listening to your podcast since Nobis called me last may and told me to check out his first episode…
