What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Thank you for your Hardrock recap. So much reflection went into this, and it felt like you put into words so much of what I feel in training and racing at altitude. It made me cry and contemplate my own 100 coming up.

Isa San Juans · Jul 2026

Confused how Dylan Bowman didn’t win ultra runner of the year last year?? We will see if he can take it at Hardrock!! In all seriousness, he does a great job with interview, previews, and keeping tabs on business side / hype of the sport. Every podcast he does is interesting. My only gripe is that he sometimes tries to keep the interview on the tracks or wrap it up and can sometimes come across like he is cutting the person off. It’s not bad or anything, I just sometimes feel like he forces the conversation one way or just is like “all right I wanna wrap this up”. I get it though, it’s his job to curate and steer the show. Overall, he is an asset to the sport of trail running!

Dan Clem · Mar 2026

My favorite! I’ve listened to every single one of DBo’s pods and always leave feeling inspired and excited for the current and future state of ultrarunning! Thanks, Dylan, for bringing fantastic content and interviews.

If Dylans intro music doesn’t make your heart race like you’re on the starting line you may wanna get your pulse checked.
