Astonishingly hard to listen to

“Perhaps I am dating myself but this podcast is effectively The Chris Farley Show from 90s SNL. So….was that, uhh, cool?? Decent guests, who can sometimes manage to carry an episode despite the best efforts of the host to drain any and all energy or basic critical thinking from the “conversation”. It’s really, really hard listening, and these days there are better places to get information online about the same subjects.
I recently listened to an episode that took Neely’s stylistic problems and ignorance about interviewing dynamics to a dark place, where she gave a platform to and encouraged a mentally ill climber to describe in detail her disordered and self destructive training behaviors. This seemed to just go on and on, and soon ran 100% in opposition to the stated thesis of the episode (which was to describe how elite running and climbing can be accomplished together (which they can, apparently, for a short time, through anorexia, exercise compulsion, and extreme dieting and time management strategies while sacrificing performance in both sports)).
And as for this weird “it’s free don’t complain” response I see in the reviews, that is just irrational and I suspect you know that. Allllllll the podcasts here are free to us, or just cost our time to listen to ads. That has zero bearing on the relevance of criticism. This podcast takes up space in the online library of climbing information, and it is on the whole low quality information delivered in a low quality way. That is relevant for anyone looking for high quality information or content.
If you can enjoy the first ten minutes of any episode, maybe this is perfect for you. But I continue to be shocked at the lack of learning and improvement Neely demonstrates on this podcast.”

“This is a consistently good podcast. Most times, I end up skipping some episodes on other podcasts, but I haven't missed a single on in this one.
I am an amateur climber, and this podcast has most definitely given me a sense of direction with regards to what I'm doing with regards to my...”Read full review »

“All of the podcasts are truly fantastic, but with Dave, it’s evident Neely has barely scratched the surface. Dave openly shares his vast wealth of knowledge and defines the ethos of a true professional, an expert in every discipline, but also in his ability to share that knowledge openly with...”Read full review »
