This year we had Scott “the Fayne” Knowles from I Am A Spartan Podcast, Fran Chiorando from Fran and Carlo Get OCR Adjacent, Jason Dupree from OCR Tech Talk, and Dave Claxton from OFX Podcast!

We discuss our podcasting and personal highlights from the year, thoughts on WTM success in UK, Spartan rule and payment issues, OCRCWC in Australia, the future of Hybrid Racing, goals, and much more! Important to note that this was recorded days before the Savage Race news that recently came out!

Please be sure to check out their shows, we did a whole episode on the huge graveyard that is OCR podcasts and I'd like these friends to not join them!
