What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I go back and forth on liking some bits and people of this podcast and not liking some bits and people of this podcast, but the variety of personalities and topics is what makes for a great Misfits podcast. Some I can relate to, and some I can’t, but overall, that’s what makes this a great podcast for me. I feel welcome and appreciated, and, after all, isn’t that what we all want anyway?!?!

Where else can you listen to wonderful people sharing wonderful stories about motorcycles? Well, maybe there are some ‘other’ opportunities. But, there’s no other one that can match up with the Misfits. They are us, and the bikes and life we love, sharing in every delightful way. You can learn something every week, about your bike, a bike, yourself, and just being a being. I don’t think I could have navigated the past 3+ years if I hadn’t had the beautiful Misfortune of finding these fine people and tuning in every week. Thank you Misfits for doing what you do and sharing it all!!

Chichester Rules. · May 2023

It is easy to be a loner as a motorcyclist. After all, the majority of time motorcycling is one person, one bike. But the misfits inspire us to use motorcycling to build community. To forge bonds with anyone who has a passing interest in two wheels, and bring those who don’t into the fold. Three years of being a weekly listener has made me a better motorcyclist in more ways than I ever thought - and more engaged in my local community, and that of the misfits. Whether you want to become a better wrencher, rider, planner, or want that inspiration to buy that next bike (d-1, n+1, baby!!), the misfits have consistently done all that and more. If you listen to one motorcycle podcast, this should be it.

Ethanmaier · May 2023

Been listening for years, these folks know what they’re talking about, they’re funny and clockwork consistent in releasing new episodes. *cough, unlike some out in Cleveland, cough*. Everyone brings a unique perspective to the hobby and Miss Emma is a moto mechanic god. If you ride, or even if you don’t and are moto-curious, do yourself a favor and listen. You’ll get hooked or your money back. -DS in PDX

Zorrolens · May 2023

A great show that touches on everything motorcycle - antiques to new models, adventure to cruiser, maintenance to accessories, flat track to BLM. Love the hosts Liza, Bagel, Naked Jim. I just don’t understand why there is a guy on there playing the part of a woman every episode. When I started listening I thought the act was humorous but as I continued listening i quickly realized this act was a constant and it was unwarranted. Additionally he is often crude and bullies other hosts for his own amusement. Not sure why the act is seen as warranted and wish the individual would drop the act so the podcast would be a more pleasant listening experience. My other desire is that they release video recordings. Sometimes they go to events and are talking about things they are seeing while us listening have to use imagination and the episodes loses value and only serves the in-person hosts.
