Episode 4 of the Mr. Goodyear's Neighborhood Podcast featured the man who lives Underground with 5 Wives, behind Historic 25 Street, and who once began a war with Idaho, the myth and legend, Steve Conlin. 

Yes, the same man who once ran Ogden One Cycling, photographed the Nagano Olympics, and helped finance hundreds of homes in Weber County. Conlin is one interesting cat, and yes, Ogden can claim him as one of its own, Ogden's Own. 

Check out the interview below and learn how Steve Conlin taught himself to live life rather than live through others. Huge credit to John Wojciechowski with Striders Running for reaching out to Conlin and booking this awesome guest.  Check out the official Mr. Goodyear's Neighborhood Podcast page here: http://www.stridersrunningblog.com/goodyear-podcast.html 

Mr. Goodyear's Neighborhood Episode 4 - Steve Conlin

 

 

INTERVIEW: Scott Jaime – Colorado Trail FKT (Fastest Known Time)

  

We had the privilege of interviewing the owner of the Colorado Trail FKT (Fastest Known Time), Scott Jaime, before the Ogden preview of his film. Running The Edge played at Peery's Egyptian Theater to an enthusiastic, nearly sold-out crowd. 

Would like to thank John Wojciechowski with Striders Running for pitch-hitting for the San Francisco travelin’ co-host Todd to the Top during this episode. 

INTERVIEW: I'm with the Band

Next, we had a couple musicians back on the Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show! We called this segment, "I'm with the Band." Dan Froerer with Betty Hates Everything, and Austin Cochran from The Last Wednesday chilled with us and chatted about their mini-tour, promoting music in 2014, and preparing for a Spartan Race. 

Scott Jaime and John Wojciechowski hung around to chime in with News and Events, and things got weird. You'll have to listen.

Thanks to Todd to the Top, we had a couple musicians back on the Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show. We'll call this little segment, "I'm with the Band." Huge thanks to Dan Froerer with Betty Hates Everything and Austin Cochran from The Last Wednesday for hanging out with us! Also, would like to thank John Wojciechowski with Striders Running for pitch-hitting for the San Francisco travelin' co-host Todd to the Top. 

What you hear, here, is the second rendering of the interview. The first version, which was spectacular by the way, is lost in time as someone forgot to push the record button... whoever could that be? So, because of the mistake from yours truly, this is version 2. 

Betty Hates Everything and The Last Wednesday are on a little mini-tour. Couldn't get the podcast up early enough to help out much, but if you rush up to Jerome, Idaho right now, you can catch them opening for Crash Kings.
