Podcasts about ocr talk

We have done OCR eulogy episodes in the past but never a eulogy episode on OCR podcasts! Mike used his first hand experience, Podchaser, and his own podcast app to find as many podcasts as he could find whether dead or alive.  He compiled the show names, descriptions, hosts, how many episodes released, date range of the show, and personal thoughts and experiences where applicable! There are well over 50 OCR podcasts discussed but apologies if we missed some.  We are a 2 person team and this took a pretty decent amount of time to put together.  See the shows mentioned in the time stamps below!

After an infection-heavy intro we talk with 7-time World Champion Lindsay Webster.

Spartan has officially purchased Tough Mudder! This is the biggest news in the OCR industry since the OCR industry became a thing approximately 10 years ago. We open the episode with a brief discussion of the Spartan/Tough Mudder purchase story so far. It has been an emotional journey. This past weekend was the first race of the 2020 Spartan US National Series in Jacksonville, Florida. Ryan Atkins and Lindsay Webster took home the wins for the men and the women. On today's episode, we talk with the top four male finishers about their race in Jacksonville. We will talk with the top female finishers in future episodes. (Note on that below). Each man we talked with had a slightly different take on the race, and we talked about slightly different topics with each one. Ryan Atkins commented on OCR and social media during the off-season. Veejay Jones also touched on social media and the lengths people go to document their workouts. Ryan Kempson talked about his one-second win over Ryan Woods for 3rd Place and Ryan Woods talked about the non-controversy that was his Herc Hoist. We need your help! Today is a LONG episode with four separate interviews. The top women from Jacksonville will each have shorter, individual episodes. Would you prefer one longer episode or several shorter episodes?

We start the show with a quick update on Spartan's potential purchase of Tough Mudder. It might happen, but the Tough Mudder co-founders are blocking the deal. If a deal doesn't happen, Tough Mudder is being forced toward bankruptcy by vendors they failed to pay in 2019. --- While Tough Mudder struggles to keep the lights on, Spartan continues to expand its fitness offerings. Yancy Culp has developed Spartan's newest program debuting in 2020: DEKAFIT. Yancy joins us to talk about what DEKAFIT is, what it is not, and how it is different from the CrossFit Games and Hyrox. One big difference: Anyone off the street can compete in DEKAFIT without having to learn new movements or new motions. Everyone knows how to throw something or push something. No one needs special training to learn how to run a lap on a track. Yancy is excited about removing that barrier to entry that might typically discourage the first-timer from competing. ---   Welcome to The OCR Report Podcast!  We are the only podcast to focus exclusively on the Elite SPORT side of Obstacle Course Racing.

Spartan sent out a press release on Christmas Eve announcing they have acquired an option to purchase the majority of Tough Mudder's international operations. The press release is below.   As of December 26th, there has been no actual transaction between Tough Mudder and Spartan Race. We reached out to Spartan and Tough Mudder for more information on this possible transaction. Tough Mudder was unavailable for comment.   Joe De Sena joined us to talk about how the option purchase came to be and how the relationship between himself and Will Dean, the co-founder of Tough Mudder has changed over the years.   Will Spartan buy Tough Mudder? Would that be good or bad for Obstacle Course Racing? Let us know what you think in a review on Apple Podcasts.   --- Spartan Race announced the acquisition of an exclusive option to acquire Tough Mudder's UK, Canadian, and German events today, as the first step in an effort to bring together a complete merger of the two obstacle course race leaders.  Tough Mudder events in those countries would continue to be operated by the same team and under the same brand, to be a part of the larger Spartan family of brands and events.  Tough Mudder associates and participants in the UK, Germany and Canada will be able to continue on with their Tough Mudder adventure. “This is a goal we've had for some time,” said Joe De Sena, Spartan founder & CEO. “Tough Mudder UK, Canada & Germany bring a unique experience and putting the success of the two together strengthens our global mission of getting 100 million people off the couch.” Under Spartan ownership, Tough Mudder UK, Canada and Germany races and events would focus on teamwork-based non-competitive festival events, leaving the competition to the Spartan side of the business.  “I look forward to creating a lasting partnership with Will and Guy as we seek to complete the merger,” De Sena said. “I'm excited about the prospect of what we can do together, as one team." Spartan will continue to work with Tough Mudder's founders, Will Dean and Guy Livingstone, in efforts to complete the acquisition and renewal of Tough Mudder's US-based events and operations in the coming days. ---   Welcome to The OCR Report Podcast!  We are the only podcast to focus exclusively on the Elite SPORT side of Obstacle Course Racing.
