    A Podcast Season in Review

    For the final episode of the '22-'23 Talk of the T-Town season, Andrew and Maura sit down and recap their favorite episodes. Through their conversation, they discover a common thread running through: each of these guests gives us and you insight into something we traditionally don't hear about in every day news; pulling back the curtain, if you will.

    The Talk of the T-Town will resume with the '23-'24 season this fall. We'll be hard at work with events and racing this season, and working to get you the best interviews with those who come visit us this summer!

Elspeth Huyett ep ruled

Fantastic interview with local hero and track/road inspiration Elspeth Huyett. Her story and growth through TTown and her contribution to the industry is a great representation of all the opportunities available to fans and athletes of the sport.

Talk of the T-Town

Both Joan and Andy are incredible hosts who embody a wonderful balance of good fun, humor, and serious discussion about all things track related. They give a platform to some wonderful people who give do much to the sport. And they have no problems laughing at themselves to keep it light. The duration of interviews have been perfect. Keep up the great work !

Fast start!

It’s awesome to feel connected to the track world when we aren’t able to be together. One of the best aspects of training and racing at TTown, as a master/stagiaire, is truly sharing the space with elite athletes and getting to know them. This podcast reminds me how wonderful these people are.
And Andy’s radio voice! It surpasses his “Matt Damon” good looks.
