Was so excited to learn of this Podcast from the Slowtwitch forums. While I enjoyed the conversation can’t just just hang a “be back soon” sign outside for nearly 5 months. I do appreciate them addressing how Ironman corp cannibalized the market by gobbling up all the events during the 10 year bull run did some damage.

Skye Moench interview was great. I really appreciate the "behind the scenes" view.

I’m trying to figure out why it took 13 minutes into a short 30 minute podcast to even mention that someone passed away? Just tiptoed around the moto drivers passing referring it as an “incident” rather than actually address it. I was looking forward to this podcast and hearing directly from Andrew himself as ironman has been alarming quietly about it but it’s clear that this was just a puff piece for him with no actual intentions of transparency or tough questions and then a solid pat on the back for him at the end. Big miss here.

Clearly Messick chose you for a reason to share his views of Hamburg. His statements were cringe worthy. How much longer until Ironman finds a new leader? Big fail on your part to hold him accountable. Basically his take is these types of events happen - this one was just on-camera? And, The municipality approved the course and safety plan? Who is the expert here? Garbage interview.
