Customer Reviews
Love the information! But
I’ve been a listener for a very long time, maybe a year. I love Feathers info so much, and the banter is fun and refreshing. Lately, I’ve found myself very annoyed at Thomas (so sorry Thomas) because he interrupts Feathers or gives his opinion before she answers. It’s just seemed more and more lately. I love the drop, so I’m not anti Thomas, I just listen to this podcast for Feather’s professional knowledge.
Started out a fan, but will choose not to continue
I think the reviews against Thomas are a little overboard, and I can’t even recall him fat shaming (this coming from an overweight runner). I enjoy their camaraderie. What I have been bothered by is the last podcast where a professional such as Meghann implied that a trend towards alcohol reduction is just coming from young influencers who aren’t even old enough to drink. What!!?? So much research out there for reasons NOT to drink, and a nutritionist we all look up to would dismiss it as unfounded. That was totally wild to me, and I lost respect. I know I don’t matter in the course of all things, but it’s just my opinion.
Thomas Take a Back Seat
Thomas’s constant interruptions and need to make jokes dilute the listening experience. All of us listen for fueling information. Please stop interrupting and save your attempts for comedy for your other show.
