I like speed reading the text ... or play the pod/video interviews at 1.5x speed.

I’ve gotta say, I really like the new transcribed stuff. But, don’t pull too far back on Video content. You guys are pretty damn good at both.

Since I'm unable to watch the video content from my work computer, having the written content to read is perfect for me. Love it

It must just be because I'm a creature of habit, but I loved the old version.

Imagine Pit Bits as a video? Hell no!

Written content is great.

If someone could just read the written content in a whisper, that'd be great.

Another vote here for a written GBAU here. I don't have time to sit through videos for everything. I can quickly scan it when it's written.

I never watch or listen to pod casts or the videos, I like to read the content and the only way I could listen is if they had closed caption that was worth a darn. Being a life long hearing aid wearer I just never try to listen if there is a way to read it.

Definitely appreciate the written stuff. I can read it at work.

Good bad ugly needs to be written. So many of us view this website while at work and can’t watch the videos.

I know... But they are so good. I look fwd to those just as much or more than any other race content.  Especially like the detailed description of nuances between riders and their individual set ups.

And it should go back to being , 'The Good, The Bad ,and The Ugly' 

I fear the meaning of that is lost on the younger generation. 

I am now wondering if it was ever that, and i just read that , cos in my head , that is what its supposed to be.

I Listen to GBU on a friday arvo to get me in the mood for the next race.

When I first started it back in 2016, it was The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It  got changed to Good, Bad 'n Ugly in 2019, and then it was changed to The Good, Bad, and Ugly when it switched to video form this year.

Pre tbi, reading. Now I enjoy podcasts & even better video as my brain does better being able to watch the people speaking when multiple people are involved in conversation. So I appreciate the extra audio/video you guys have been putting out. Especially video. The worst part of it all is not being able to ride :'( & yes I'm here reading the forums. Short easy snippets are easy to read. It stems from short term memory, visual memory, & eye tracking issues.

Written is better for me. It seems like you guys have been doing a great job in offering both formats for most articles.
