Thanks to Greg for working on this with me. Thanks to Sarah and Gaspare for the bonus interviews. Thanks to David Jack who worked on the first round of recording that we eventually scrapped because of microphone issues. Thanks to Jeff Frenette for doing sound on this version. Thanks for the m...
As a kid I always wished I could draw cars like they did in CARtoons magazine. Still not there, but getting a little close with this one. New podcast over on Pinkbike.
