Mike wasn't content with last week's episode in that he didn't get to talk much about his first Hyrox experience after the event and didn't want it tied to premium Patreon content as was teased in the post credit audio of that episode.

Obstacle Running Adventures

We had plans to do an athlete interview this week but language barriers slowed things down a bit. Quick reminder that if you speak another language in addition to English, we would love the help of a translator to reduce the barriers to communication with athletes! Between that and the fact that Mike is currently in an uber on the way to the airport at 3:26 AM Friday morning for a work conference in San Fransisco as he/I write this, we needed to make a stress free pivot!

Things were a bit...

More Episodes

We have done OCR eulogy episodes in the past but never a eulogy episode on OCR podcasts!

Mike used his first hand experience, Podchaser, and his own podcast app to find as many podcasts as he could find whether dead or alive. He compiled the show names, descriptions, hosts, how many episodes released, date range of the show, and personal thoughts and experiences where applicable!

There are well over 50 OCR podcasts discussed but apologies if we missed some. We are a 2 person team and this took a pretty decent amount of time to put together. See the shows mentioned in the time stamps below!
