Cowbell Fever: a Birkie Podcast

We call it the Main Street podcast but most of it this year was on the Lake. Relive the Birkie with friends old and new in the final kilometer across Lake Hayward, this year with good audio thanks to our Patreon supporters. You can join in: go to patreon.com/ofsevit.

Ketzel joins us for race week weather and there's a lot to discuss! You can support the Podcast: go to Pioneermidwest.com and order a race wax service using the promo code "podcast" or go to patreon.com/ofsevit.

Jakob Wartman is a fast skier. And a pretty good runner too. We talk about his victory and 7th fastest time in history at the Superior 100, and an upcoming somewhat shorter ski race.

Year 10ish of talking to Ben Popp about the upcoming race.
