    Ivy Insights

    The IMTalk podcast has been a mainstay in the triathlon community for over a decade, with over 850 episodes and counting. It covers a wide range of topics including triathlon news, training tips, interviews, history, tech, and even some gossip. I have personally been listening to this podcast since 2007 and it has never failed to entertain me week after week. The hosts, John and Bevan, are true Legends of Triathlon in my opinion.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the informative and entertaining content. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced triathlete, you'll find value in the discussions and interviews on IMTalk. John and Bevan have great rapport and their Kiwi banter adds an extra level of enjoyment to each episode. The podcast also features a variety of guests who provide valuable insights into the world of triathlon.

    Another great aspect of IMTalk is its consistency. It releases new episodes on a weekly basis, making it a reliable source of information for triathletes around the world. The hosts stay up-to-date with the latest news in the sport and provide insightful analysis. The podcast also covers a wide range of topics, ensuring that there's something for everyone.

    While IMTalk is overall an outstanding podcast, one potential downside is that occasionally the interviews can feel rushed in order to fit everything into the episode. However, this is just a minor flaw that doesn't detract from the overall quality of the show.

    In conclusion, The IMTalk podcast is an essential listen for anyone interested in triathlon. It provides informative and entertaining content week after week, covering all aspects of the sport. John and Bevan are engaging hosts whose passion for triathlon shines through in every episode. I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen if you haven't already.
