What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been a long time reader of Ray’s website - dcrainmaker.com, and I love the podcast too. Ray and Shane discuss the ins and outs of Fitness technology and related topics in an entertaining, humorous, and informative manner. Definitely worth listening to.

YonahW · Mar 2020

These two cover new technology offered to cyclists and evaluate it at a high level without blatant promotion. I know of no easier or even competent way to do that. I enjoy their relatively even handed assessment of how actually useful/valuable individual products would be for different types of riders. They are not blindly fanboys of everything new. The podcast is a quality experience and worth following for the cyclist who wants a balanced overview.

PNW RoadRider · Dec 2019

Much like the DCRainmaker site, this is the definitive podcast for everything sports tech. The discussions are intelligent, detailed, and entertaining. Of the many podcasts that I download, this is one that I never skip when it appears in my queue.

mzommer · Dec 2019

Ray and Shane are a must listen to for those who are both health and tech nerds like me! They give unbiased discussion of what’s new in sports tech that I can’t get anywhere else.
