As the title states, what's your opinion? We've got a poll below to rate your #1, even if you're not logged in you can still vote. Also curious of the reason why if you want to comment below.

Of course, some of these podcasters have multiple shows, but for this I'm going to place the poll options based off the parent show/host for the most part.

It's Pulp for me but I really like DMXS too. I just wish they would do more shows than they currently do.

I like Pulp because it's about different subjects and you hear from a lot of different people aswell.
I really like the Whiskey Throttle Show and Gypsy Tales how they focus on one person and how much you get to know during a show. So it would be multiple choice for me, gonna catch up on Bubba's World later aswell.

I'd vote for Pulp if I could get some sort of Tevo app to filter out the 1.5 hours of plugs and bullshit.

Steve is the king of moto podcasts. I also enjoy JT$’s Industry Seating - but he’s usually on the show with Steve so it’s a double whammy anyways Grinning

That's one perk of living on the east coast and listening next day.

I love Main Event Moto, but after they moved under the RacerX umbrella, it’s been declining while others have been improving.

Pulp is my overall favorite. Great blend of serious interviews, many different co-hosts, heated debates, it can go from being a very serious factual show in one segment and the next is pure entertainment with silly debates, funny drops (you ok back there?). I love when Weege/JT co-host but then it's also great when you get someone like RV/Jake n Coke who come on and just show us ex pros who are having a blast and giving us behind the scenes stories.

If I could give a 2nd place vote, it would be WTS. I love how Pingree will spend the entire show going into full detail of someone's past/present/future and make it a more intimate interview. I admit I don't watch every episode though, just the ones with guests I'm really interested to hear from.

Today they announced they're leaving the RacerX Network and going it on their own again, but they're going the Patreon route so all their shows require a $5 monthly subscription.

Yea, I hope that works for them. Hard out for me though. The show is a shell of what it was in the beginning. With DB’s schedule and all his jobs, I don’t see how they’ll be able to justify all of this in which they’re promising. I guess they can be more “eDgY” now though lol..

Pulp is great, but Keefer is a true gem. Who else will respond to our dumb questions about gear or bikes?

Pretty easy sweep for Steve.

Also, whatever happened to the Pulp MX forum?

Anything Steve Matthes is good. He is not only knowledgeable but also a great interviewer. To me....he asks great questions ala Howard Stern.

If you get a chance....go back and listen to Steve's early interviews. There's a ton of great stuff already floating around out there. Epic interviews.

I do like the long format of The Whiskey Throttle show as well. I appreciate the others and listen as often as possible when the subject is something i'm interested in.

Serious question here, does Hopper have a podcast? I’m not talking about YouTube opinion shows. The only podcast I was aware of that he’s on is Cooksey and the Coach. Which is listed.

Main event moto for $5 on Patreon per month? No freaking way. It’s not good enough yet imo. Also….I don’t want 3 different podcast apps on my phone. Spotify for Rogan, Sirius for stern, and podcasts for everything else. If I could give $5 and not have to dick around with Patreon I would pay. It will fade away . I’ll pay for the PulpMX app….but that’s the #1 motocross show (as per the poll and my guess). Pulp has earned it. Am I wrong on this assessment? Main event was listenable but not good enough for this yet

If The Steve Matthew show/ pulp Mx went to Patreon….there would be no question that I would pay

‘Best’ is a confusing word. I like pulp for entertainment. I like whiskey throttle because it’s timeless information or maybe more documentary style. Like that pod with RV was maybe my favorite pod ever but it’s different than the Matthes show.

Keef is my main go to followed by Matthes ( especially Race Reviews ) and Ping....but I enjoy all of them. Really dig Real Talk 447 when they're active

This is where I’m at. This is Steve’s career and is always excelling, getting better and adding more content. Re-raceable is priceless. I’d happily pay someone who you can count on tweaking and perfecting the experience. If it’s not at that level of commitment, I’m not willing to pay.

I like a few of them for different reasons. I like the Main Event show, but I’m not paying 5 bucks for it.

Gypsy tales for his deep conversations

Whiskey Throttle because I like the stories

Mathes shows that aren’t the Pulp show, short shows with good content.

Industry Seating, short show, good content.

I don’t listen to the whole pulp show, it’s wY to long, and it’s mostly fluff. I listen to some of the interviews because I think mathes does a good job at that.

I don’t listen to mx pods like most do, I listen to pods that relate to me, my health and my family. There’s tons of info out there if you’re open to it.

I listen to all of them but never miss Pulp. I like Main event and am sadly going to miss it. Skipping commercials doesn’t bother me spending money does.

Whisky Throttle Show. Perfect while working in the garage, and it's content mixes well with my love of history.

Pulp often comes across as gossip girls, and anytime Steve makes a political comment...
Gypsy tales comes up with some pretty good content.
Keefer Testing is really helpful, but he needs to get better at landing the plane quicker.
Weege is simply the best announcer in the business, I just prefer the moto-history lessons provided by Ping. No shocker, I find when Davey Coombs starts talking/writing about history it's great too.

Same. Vincent's something else! Cheerful

22's a good thing here (in my world). Main Event's 122nd subscriber going into 2022. Looking forward to A1 and going to Oakland!!

DMXS is great with Kevin and David. David only is just a ball gargling festival for whoever is on. They balance each other well, but Kevin is rarely on. Pulp dominates them all, but several are great listens as well. I really appreciate how almost every one is a different format, so they can have the same guest and still offer a lot.
