The RunOut Podcast

297

Chris Kalous (The Enormocast) and Andrew Bisharat (Evening Sends) bring 40+ years of combined climbing experience to the mic while they talk to the best and most interesting people in climbing. The hosts take on rock climbing, bouldering, ice climbing, alpinism, comp climbing, all the climbing. No subject is left out or climbing dogma unexamined. You may not agree with the take, but you’ll likely laugh about it later.

Such a great listen

The conversations are such a pleasure to listen too, and you guys are hands down my favorite pair of podcasters. Thank you for being you, Chris and Andrew.

Great Podcast

Long time listener, first time reviewer. Love listening to these two banter. Great stuff. Love the phish references, Andrew!
PaulWolf1

Just as good as the Enormocast

Seems impossible to improve on the Enormocast. I'd say it's a tie.
randyman117

My favorite podcast

Chris and Andrew are laugh-out-loud funny, thoughtful, and the people they interview are always interesting. Well worth a listen and subscribe!

Witty

The wit and the knowledge shared makes for a fantastic podcast!

A worthy contribution to climbing podland

Solid gold

Climbing banter at its best

Links not correct

The links are not connecting to the correct podcast for some reason.. Thought you’d want to know! Thanks!

Thank you

I just absolutely love this show. Both real charismatic hosts. Really interesting and always entertaining. Thank you!

Epic

Finally someplace where my love for climbing and boner pill dialogue can intersect. Amazing work here.

I like this podcast

I had a weird bug trying to subscribe. I was getting an error message (“server or feed can’t be found”) when subbing from the podcast’s mainpage but I got it to work when went to an individual episode’s page and subscribed from there. Just throwing that out there if anyone else is having trouble.

Unexpectedly hilarious at times

Thanks for the hot takes and surprising funny bits that really meld the episodes together. Have been slogging through a slow work day and putting this on gives me the strength to continue and looking forward to the next climb 🤙🏽
expecting_more

Skip to 22 mins.

Half way into listening to #57 and they have not even mentioned the name of their interviewee. They have just been mansplaining about storytelling.

Dr Kalous Strikes Again!

And his cute little side kick ain’t too shabby either...

Run out on politics

Great podcast! Both guys talk well on climbing stories and vertical adventures. However, the second they opened their mouths on politics, I lost interest quickly. Please, keep your personal politics out of a climbing focused podcast. Keep the focus on (mis)adventures. Not divisive politics. Climb hard!

Best for news

I love this podcast. Always an entertaining and valuable take on the currents of climbing. But the thing that really cinches it for me is Andrew Bisherat’s whistle-groan. Is it a ghristle? Is it a whoan? I also enjoy their futile efforts to be less crumudgeonly.

Joyce was a climber...

...or at least Bloom was (house railings). And quoting Joyce was on point. And on brand. What makes this podcast is its wide range of references, digressions, topics, and guests. It’s not for liteweights.
Hikelite

Don’t quote Joyce on a climbing podcast

Come on.
ges42

Funny and well done

Nice work, really enjoyable
ChuckPR

Love it

This podcast rocks. But seriously, this is my favorite podcast. Cynicism and all.

Kalous n the Olympics

I for one would really like to see Kalous n the Olympics. We need more Western grads there.
Matt Desenberg

Great compliment to the interview-based Enormocast

Interesting commentary on climbing current events. Great show!
COSladie

A treat to listen to

I love this podcast! I listen to Enormocast as well, but enjoy this one to keep me up to speed in the climbing world.
Portland1031

Sick!

This podcast is sick! I love listening to Chris and Andrew waxing poetically about the important topics in current climbing news. Also if you have not checked out the Enormocast and want to instantly climb harder it is guaranteed to bump you up at least one grade!! Thanks gentlemen keep up the good work.
ruthkack

Good stuff

This podcast is so well done. The two hosts are excellent guys who talk in a way that makes you feel like you are friends. They have interesting perspectives and excellent guests. They talk about climbing, but also about life. I love it.
Lehautacam

Fun!

This is great podcast and always a blast to listen to. Please put this podcast along with the Enromocast on Spotify!
Air Bike Psyche

Only thing better than climbing...

Is talking about climbing, and the dynamic duo delivers a steaming plate of ATCs, scorching hot from 50 meter continuous raps down the face of El Cap!
c-flynn

Awesome

I enjoy the opinion oriented format of this show as a compliment to the enormocast. Good stuff
AK Furmissile
