  • AuSable River Canoe Marathon - Interview with Record Holders Wakeley and Meersman Ep 17
    In our first of 2 post-ARCM episodes we have a very "shop talk" conversation with the reigning AuSable River Canoe Marathon Champions and record holders Jorden Wakeley and Matt Meersman.  We talk on a ton of different topics from choosing the boat based on the seats, to paddle lengths, all the way to what happens when you gotta go.  Truly a great episode with some great open-book champions.  Very happy that we were able to have these guys on the show and wish them all the best in the years to come.

  • AuSable River Canoe Marathon Preview with Ryan Matthews Ep 16
    This episode is all about the upcoming AuSable River Canoe Marathon.  We have the official historian of the race Ryan Matthews on as a guest and we discuss a wide range of topics when it comes down to the second leg of the Triple Crown of Marathon Canoe Racing.  In this episode we first discuss some of the events that happen "marathon week".  After that we get into some helpful tips and tricks for those that are newer to the race.  The rest of the episode we start discussing the present field that is entered, and the current projections based on the NACPR rankings.  We finish off the episode discussing some of the improvements that have been made to the portage site as construction has been ongoing in some of these areas.
    We had a lot of fun recording this episode and hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it!
