 Just started getting into podcasts and loving it I keep trying to find gaps in my day to listen.
Keep up the great work and I’d love to hear from Ben Cathro if you get a chance. Would be sick.

 Dear Downtime Podcast, my productivity goes down every week these come out, my marriage suffers, I stop speaking to people, and I spiral into a depression. It was so bad I had to book therapy in the way of private shuttles in Rotorua this weekend. Seriously though I bloody love these.

 Eddie seems like a top, all round nice bloke... and it certainly comes across here. Great episode @downtimepodcast

I'm so glad the sport of mountain biking have some great personalities involved. I think its what keeps us all so interested.

Used to be a real big football fan but totally lost touch because players almost don't feel like real people anymore.

 I'm with you @priceye36, I think how down to earth everyone is, but also how different they all are is a big part of what makes the sport interesting and an awesome thing to be part of.

 Please do an interview with Chris Porter! I reckon you could make at least 2 podcasts with him on his history, bike geo, suspension and the future of the bike industry.
