What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I just started OCR this year and jumped right into competitive heats barely knowing the Ins and outs of the sport. Scott’s podcast has been awesome to listen to, get some little pro tips here and there that would have taken me years to figure out alone! also just hear some battle stories from him and guests that have been helping me prepare for future races and look into other challenges for myself! Georgia boys represent Scott, keep it up man!

Acspell · Jul 2021

A bit late to the game discovering Scott's podcast, but he does an awesome job with it. His passion for OCR and the athletes that compete in it is unmatched, and I enjoy hearing the perspective of other racers as well as their tips for training and nutrition from his interviews. Keep it up, and see you in Atlanta!

Texaroo22 · Sep 2019

Scott does a great job with the I Am A Spartan Podcast. Sometimes when I listen to a podcast I wish the interviewer asked better questions. I never find myself thinking that when listening to this podcast. My favorite episodes were the ones that focused on the Death Race and Killington Ultra. It’s cool getting to be a fly on the wall and hear why/how people do those sorts of races.

GH.Brand · Sep 2019

Great laid back podcast that is an enjoy to listen to. I like the fact that they have age group and other racers closer to where I am in my game and not just elite racers. I am early in my spartan journey and I think this is a tool to help me improve.
