For anybody who's ever studied economics it's a simple model basically people found a need or avoid in the market that turns out to be really popular and they all jump on the bandwagon flooding the market oversaturating it until in the end when the dust settles and all the irrelevant podcast get pushed away we end up with a solid core group of media that will continue on doing the podcast people prefer over others
RC: ''You know there's so much stuff and content we didn't have time to deliver on air''
Really RC? Maybe he should watch all the 2019 rounds so far and have a good look in the mirror.
I'm all for extra content but this is just cringy from the get go...

I, like others, are on podcast overload but I'm not sure this will make the cut for me - have to try #2 I guess but there is something about listening to voices from lots of past TV telecasts that turns me off. RC is going to have to stop talking over Jeff too...
There will be comment that you won't hear anywhere else but I actually like the variety of the PulpMX network more. If I could only listen to one show a week, the main 4-5 hour one would be my preference.
Valid question: What does RC & Fro and many of the others get out of this?
Obviously, pulpmx is to make himself a living but many of these others are either superfans or former riders and they all can make podcasts if they want and we benefit for sure.
But i don't think there can be too many. All of them are different and there will be people that enjoy moto podcast X over moto podcast Y.
i cant even get through everything that Pulp MX puts out most weeks, i listen to the whiskey throttle guests, but tend to skip the rest of the shows,
Pit Row
-All things Pulp except the fantasy pods and most of the Privateer Island pods
-Main Event Moto
-Whiskey Throttle
That's not a knock on the others. I'm just saying that if only can squeeze in so many hours of listening in a week, these 3 are my priority.
I want more of a hot stove like Hockey Night in Canada where there is a panel of experts recapping the races or talking about relavent events related to mx and sx.
There's a lot more "hello, how are you, blah blah" framing the information, but you you get a little more of the personality with it too; especially the humor.
I run a small CNC machine shop and mostly work alone. I can listen to a podcast while designing parts on paper, or in CAD, writing a machine program and running a couple of machines. My eyes and hands are still free to work and I can pause the podcast when I need to concentrate on critical details or tasks.
I also listen to stuff like PulpMX if I'm driving solo to/from a race track (typically one or two hours each way).
Some people listen to podcasts when they work out, I need rock and roll or silence for that.
Podcasts are certainly saturated at this point... I think some of them will cease to exist over time.
The magazines are struggling these days, and that's a shame.
Its akin to Amazon making things really tough on retail stores.
Pulp and Main event moto are my goto's. Especially Main event when both the Blair brothers are on, are top of the list. VB is podcast gold when they're on. Something about 2 brothers talking shit to each other with Vincent not giving a damn in general, I LOVE it. I so wish he was in there every week. At first, I didn't think I was going to like them at all, but it just gets better.
Pulp is pulp. All his co-hosts are classic moto podcast, even that Lindsey kid..
Whiskey Throttle is good, but I feel like it would be 10x's better if GL doubled his RB&V consumption. Ping is great and very good at what he's doing, but I wish he would still go on Pulp. I really dig the format, getting into the guests lives. I feel like a lot of what's said, was already done by pulp at one point though, maybe not as in depth (not just Whiskey, but all the ones listed below). Decoster and Bones have been my fav's by far.
Weege, Swap, Guyb and Zacho are good drive time wasters. I never finish listening wishing there was more if that makes sense. I would love to hear interviews of more behind the scene guys that havn't been on pulp at some point. IE truck drivers, agents, man friends..
I agree the market is a little saturated, and it's a lot of the same, but if you listen enough, it just feels like you're listening to buddies BS, and i'd rather that than the assclowns I work with. Gets me through my case of the mondays.
I think their chemistry will no doubt improve, but to be totally honest, during the podcast, I couldn't help but think RC was just doing the podcast to throw Emig a bone.. I know, they said they're best friends, a few times..
I will say, I rarely like a podcast until a few episodes in when I know what I'm going to get, and they're falling into their groove.. I'm sure it will only get better, like they all do.
