Welcome to Third Eye Weekly–a podcast hosted by BTR’s Zach Schepis and Lisa Autz featuring underreported news, independent music, spoken word, and radical conversation keeping you informed.
On today’s show we discuss the changing technological world of elite athletes with Mark McClusky, sports writer and editor of Wired.com. McClusky enlightens us on how athletes are no longer a product of raw talent and endurance but rather a precise calculation of efficiency made by their own team of scientists.
We’ll also be chatting with BTR’s own DJ Meredith who hosts fitness podcasts such as Extreme Endurance. DJ Meredith breaks down the beneficial affects of listening to music while working out and how she keeps her playlists fresh and energetic.
Today’s spoken word segments feature the talents of Button Poetry poets Chris Gibson and Ethan Smith.
As always, don’t forget to check out our Twitter account for the latest in independent media and underreported news.
