I'm Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast and you're tuned into our 2025 Mont-Sainte-Anne pre-race show with Chris Kilmurray for the final round of the 2025 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series. If you're listening, that means that like me, you probably LOVE the sport and want to know as much as possible about what's going on. That's exactly what we are here to do. Throughout the season, we'll be bringing you analysis and insights that you won't hear elsewhere. However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn't in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn't have any brand support. The World Cup coverage is the most expensive thing I produce, as it often includes travel and I like to pay the guys for the expertise that they bring to the table. So I've been funding it myself, along with the support of our wonderful Patreons. If this show means something to you, and you want to help me keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon. You can sign up for as little as £3 a month at patreon.com/downtimepodcast. That's less than the price of a coffee, but it makes a real difference. The more of you who chip in, the more likely it is that we can keep doing this. I know times are tight. But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. Alright, it's the final round of the year and we're headed to the iconic Mont-Sainte-Anne. We dig into the challenges of this unique track, the differences and similarities to Lake Placid as well as who to watch in the upcoming battles as multiple overalls go to the wire. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Mont-Sainte-Anne pre-race show with Chris Kilmurray.

This week I'm joined by Ben Wood, aka Woody, the mechanic behind World Champion Jackson Goldstone. Woody gives us a rare look at life inside the pits at the very top of downhill racing, from the pressure cooker of World Cups to the calm precision of race day prep. We chat about everything from track walks and bike setup, to handling the emotional highs and lows that come with chasing podiums. And of course, we relive the unforgettable moment when Jackson claimed the rainbow stripes, and speculate about how the overall battle might play out. It's a story of mindset, trust, and the unique bond between rider and mechanic that makes the difference when it matters most. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this episode with Ben 'Woody' Wood.

This week, I'm joined by Norwegian downhill racer, Mille Johnset. After making a big team move for the 2025 season, Mille's year didn't start the way she'd hoped. Early struggles left her searching for form and confidence. But Mille's resilience and hard work paid off, and she came back fighting, delivering an incredible 3rd place at the World Cup in Andorra. We talk about her journey from skiing in Norway to racing bikes at the highest level, the challenges of being the only girl in her category growing up, what she learned at the Atherton Academy, and how she's finding her way in the elite ranks. It's an honest look at the ups and downs of pro racing, the importance of support networks, and the mindset needed to turn things around.

I studied economics in university, which isn't that close to database work, though I did have to work through linear regression problems by hand. I always enjoyed mathematics, so this wasn't a hardship. Until I purchased a PC that was capable of letting me do graphs and calculations in PASCAL and BASIC. Then I realized that my enjoyment wasn't that efficient or useful, and a computer could help me get things done way more efficiently. Many of us work on systems that process tremendous amounts of data, something our organizations couldn't complete without computer hardware, efficiently or not. We just wouldn't be able to get the work done by hand. That's the main reason why downtime is such a problem in the modern world; we can't fall back to manual systems in many cases.

Slow motion is everywhere in contemporary film and media, but it wasn't always so ubiquitous. How did slow motion ascend to the dubious honor of becoming our culture's least "special" effect? And what does slow motion — a trick secured paradoxically through the camera's ever-racing speeds of capture — tell us about the temporalities and trajectories of modernity?  Mark Goble, Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley, takes up these questions in his latest book Downtime: The Twentieth Century in Slow Motion (Columbia UP, 2025), out now from Columbia University Press. In this conversation with Alix Beeston, Mark shares from his fascinating account of slow motion across film, art, and literature in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. For Mark, slow motion is a key index of a period of capitalist, ecological, political, and cultural crisis that we're still enduring — but that we hope will one day, however slowly, come to an end.  Tracking bodies and things as they move fast and slow at once also prompts new reflections on the value of the time that academic labor takes, the nature of its uneven rhythms and contingencies, and why dad jokes, witty asides, and extended bits on the impotence of Clyde in the classic 1968 film Bonnie and Clyde might turn out to be essential to scholarly writing.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We finally got a 50-piece! Penn State beat Villanova 52-6, but it was still very sluggish to start, and disjointed throughout. Now we wonder; is this team up for the challenge they are going to receive in two weeks? Can they achieve what we all think they can?What would you grade each unit's performance in the "preseason"? Villanova reactions, biggest concerns, Week 4 picks, & much more!

Uptime ideals vs reality in the AI era. A recent post from Theo (t3.gg) calling out sub-90% uptime on a major AI service reignites the question: how seriously should we treat downtime for non-critical apps? In this episode Matt and Mike dig into SLAs, the real cost of monitoring and rapid support, why “always-on” isn't free, and whether 24/7 expectations turn developers into shift workers instead of on-call responders.

It's like something pulled straight out of science fiction, but it's real research that could change how we see physics itself. Could this be the first step toward time manipulation? Or even new technologies beyond imagination? Stick around, because this discovery is one of the coolest breakthroughs you'll ever hear about. Learn more about your ad choices.

I'm Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast and you're tuned into our 2025 Champéry World Champs post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris. If you're listening, that means that like me, you probably LOVE the sport and want to know as much as possible about what's going on. That's exactly what we are here to do.

However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn't in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn't have any brand support. The World Cup coverage is the most expensive thing I produce, as it often includes travel and I like to pay the guys for the expertise that they bring to the table. So I've been funding it myself, along with the support of our wonderful Patreons. If this show means something to you, and you want to help me keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon.

But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. World Champs went off on the steeps of Champéry and the riders delivered some wild rides in pursuit of the hallowed stripes. We'll be digging into what went on to bring you the best insight available.

Lots of us feel like our memories are garbage — like we'd forget our pants if they weren't on our legs. But what if the science told us that forgetting stuff is totally normal? We dig into the weird science of why our memories work the way they do. And if we DO want better retention in our brain box, are there science-approved ways to boost our memories? We talk to cognitive neuroscientist Prof. Charan Ranganath, neuroscientist Prof. Loren Frank, and psychologist Prof. Jan Born. Find our transcript here: https://bit.ly/ScienceVsMemory  Check out Charan Ranganath's book, Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold On To What Matters: https://charanranganath.com/book/  In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Our crappy memories (03:50) Forgetting is the default (08:49) Event boundaries and how to get around them (13:30) To remember more, up the stakes (18:33) Can supplements or crosswords boost our memory?

This week's episode is a little different. I'll be honest with you, I hit record without having the faintest clue what I was going to talk about. No notes, no guest, no plan. Just me showing up exactly as I am: a bit flat, a bit uninspired, and wondering if that's something you've been feeling too. We live in a world that tells us we should be switched on all the time, but the truth is, inspiration comes in cycles. Sometimes you're buzzing with ideas, and other times you're staring at a blank page. And that's not failure – that's being human.So in this conversation, I'm sharing what I've learned about moving through those uninspired phases. From the pressure of running a business and organising big events like MANI-FEST, to the comparison trap we fall into online, I want to remind you that dips in energy aren't a sign you're off track. They're actually invitations to rest, to recalibrate, to realign. If you've been feeling stuck or flat lately, I think you'll find comfort in this reminder: you don't need to be perfect to show up. You just need to be real!www.mani-fest.uk

How ready is your fleet for the next wave of transportation technology? How confident are you that your dash cams, tracking systems, and compliance tools are actually working the way they should? Beth Young from Velociti joins us today to explore how fleets can cut through the AI and machine learning buzzwords and focus on real solutions that protect drivers, reduce liability, and keep freight moving. We cover the $2 million risks tied to malfunctioning dash cams, why auditing your cameras and subscriptions is critical for compliance,  the growing demand for traceability in supply chains, the $35 billion cargo theft problem, and why it's vital to embrace innovation now!   Connect with Beth Website: https://www.velociti.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/velociti-inc/ / https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethyoung25/

This week, we're heading into the future of downhill with New Zealand junior, Oli Clark. The junior ranks are stacked right now and riders like Oli are already putting down times that would challenge the elites. We talk about what it's like being part of this insanely fast new generation, how his riding has evolved and what he's doing to give himself the best opportunity to be on the top step. Oli also shares what it's like to take part in the gnarliest downhill race on the planet, Red Bull Hardline, and why keeping the fun in riding is so important for him to perform. Oli is yet another indication that the future of the sport is bright. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Oli Clark. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here.

Today I'm talking with Danielle Elliot, a health and science journalist, documentarian, and host of Climbing the Walls, an investigative podcast from Understood.org digging into the surge in ADHD diagnoses among women—especially since the pandemic. If that sounds familiar, it's cause I did a number of ads for her show a few months back, and I just wanted to make sure that I mention that, since while I'm not getting paid for this episode, I have done work with Understood before and probably will be promoting more of their stuff in the future. Anyway, in our conversation today, we cover a lot of ground, from debunking the idea that no one knew women could have ADHD until recently, to how social media has reshaped the conversation, to why research on hormones and ADHD is still way behind. We also get into the everyday realities of living with ADHD, the default mode network, and why we need far more research into how ADHD shows up in women. It's a mix of science, lived experience, and the kind of practical reflection that can help you rethink how ADHD fits into your life. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at http://hackingyouradhd.com/241 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Instead of guessing when you've overbooked yourself, start tracking it like an experiment. For a few weeks, note each day you have social, professional, or mentally demanding activities beyond your baseline, then try and figure out how many consecutive “on” days it takes before you feel fried. 2. Downtime doesn't magically appear and needs to be scheduled on the calendar, or it often just gets eaten by other people's needs or whatever's loudest in the moment. If someone asks you to do something during that block, you can truthfully say you already have something scheduled. Treating self-care time as a legit appointment protects it from getting deprioritized just because it's “only for you.” 3. A common ADHD trap is overestimating how awful or time-consuming a task will be, which makes it easier to avoid it. Try timing your tasks to give yourself actual data to challenge your brain's “this will take forever” narrative and can turn a dreaded job into something you knock out in a couple of minutes. 4. Consider hormonal factors when tracking ADHD symptoms, as hormones have a big influence on your ADHD symptoms, yet are often overlooked. Hormonal changes can affect focus, energy, mood, and even how well ADHD medication works. Tracking your symptoms alongside your cycle or other hormonal shifts can help you spot patterns and adjust strategies accordingly.

I'm Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast and you're tuned into our Les Gets post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris. If you're listening, that means that like me, you probably LOVE the sport and want to know as much as possible about what's going on. That's exactly what we are here to do. Throughout the season, we'll be bringing you analysis and insights that you won't hear elsewhere. However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn't in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn't have any brand support. The World Cup coverage is the most expensive thing I produce, as it often includes travel and I like to pay the guys for the expertise that they bring to the table. So I've been funding it myself, along with the support of our wonderful Patreons. If this show means something to you, and you want to help me keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon. You can sign up for as little as £3 a month at patreon.com/downtimepodcast. That's less than the price of a coffee, but it makes a real difference. The more of you who chip in, the more likely it is that we can keep doing this. I know times are tight. But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. A big thanks to all the Patreon's who came along to our 'ask me anything' with Chris, Neko and Olly last week, I hope you all had fun. This weekend we're back on the infamous  slopes of Mont Chery in Les Gets. The weather threw a hefty curveball with some huge downpours to add to the challenge of a race week. We'll be breaking down the weekend for you and as always there's heaps to dive into, so sit back, hit play and listen to this Les Gets post-race show with Neko and Olly.
