The Shoe Talk Podcast

Beyond the edited scripts of traditional gear reviews, running is driven by stories, industrial design culture, and a global community of critical thinkers. The Shoe Talk Podcast is a brand-new, bi-monthly expansion of the Sagasu Running ecosystem designed to pull back the curtain on the industry.

An intentional blend of highly prepared, design-focused topical essays and live, unscripted technical dialogue, this show serves as a direct line between the design desk and the global running community.

Topical content & deep dives

Every episode is an opportunity to cover running shoe and industry news. I dive deep into developing story arcs, emerging product technologies, macro brand strategies, shifting design trends, and the real-world manufacturing realities behind the products shaping the running world.

Live interactive community Q&A

Broadcast directly via a live stream on my YouTube channel, the podcast is a bidirectional format. I match my analytical coverage with real-time audience interaction—taking your questions directly from the live chat, reviewing viewer-submitted data points, and discussing community feedback as it unfolds.

Available as an audio podcast

Many YouTube channel viewers have requested to get Sagasu Running content in an audio-first format for their training runs. Therefore, these live streams become The Shoe Talk Podcast for that exact purpose, optimized seamlessly for background listening on the road.
