I do enjoy both Pulp and WT.
Not sure what you said is exactly trashing but you come across as a tad hypocritical.
The Shop
I've never watched/listened to an episode of WT, but that's because I don't have a ton of available time and it usually takes me about a week to listen to the latest Pulp episode and race recap pod with Steve, Weege, and JT.
its also a little weird to me that I am somehow sad to see it given i dont know either of them haha.
I really like pulp for what it is and I really like whiskey throttle for what it is.
In my opinion, they shouldn’t be grouped together and compared.
@Ping, if you looking for guys outside of MX I would be very interested to hear the career story of a guy like Ben Bostrom. I'm sure he's on your long list.
I agree with hamncheeze, Ben Bostrom would be a great interview in so many ways.
The world is a better place with both of these podcasts to listen to.
I don't mind the amount of politics in either podcast. Ping and Langston keep their tin-foil stuff on twitter and off the pod, and Steve never really says anything you wouldn't expect from a centrist, mild-mannered Canadian.
To be honest, I like how GL interrupts and adds to the interview.
Keefer is the man. I listen to Keefer Testing and Coffee with Keefers. Love after-dark.
I will never listen to the wrap-up show. Sorry.
If you don't like the ads, I doubt you'd like the price without them.
If James Stewart were to do one podcast with Steve or Ping and GL, long-form, I would have a really, really hard time deciding what podcast I would want to hear him on. Honestly, he should go one Real Talk 447, though.
Everything always "used to be better" because it was new and exciting. When you listen to a rider's life story for the 5th time, it's not going to be as great as the 1st time you heard it.
Pit Row
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to hear Marc Maron saying perhaps Hillary was just an old lady who didn't know how to use emails, but ffs, you should be able to listen to discourse without losing your mind. That's a huge problem in today's society though, everyone is in their own eco-chamber.
Love both shows but GL stops me getting excited too much when I see a new episode up.
They do get the best guests in my opinion,but I just know Ping will carry the show and ask great questions,BUT GL will interrupt the guest 99% of the time with his own stories or answers to the question.
Dont get me wrong I think GL is a hell of a rider and great character,but PLEASE let the GUEST answer the questions they are asked.
Ping comes up with good questions and gets the guests to open up,he is great at this,but GL spoils most of these questions,cutting off the guests with his own answers and stories has just got old for me now Im afraid
Sorry Ping,not a dig at you buddy,but Im finding them harder to listen to,which is a shame because as I said earlier you score the best guests.
I have 3 or 4 ready to listen to,but keep putting them off.The Henry one for me was too painful,we only got half of Doug's answers and alot of GL stories.
Overall I rate Ping higher than Steve as a host,hes very intelligent,not as self absorbed or opinionated,which makes for better shows.I think he has a long career in this type of work and could become much bigger
I have no clue who he is and he adds nothing to the show or interviews. keep your mouth shut and let the former pros do the talking.
Also agree with the point that WT will have to evolve to survive. The model of guest dependent long form interviews on the past isn't sustainable when the guests run out. I'm all for competition though.
