Jon Billman a contributor to outside magazine had this to say about joe,we couldnt put it better.....
If famed Euro-roadie commentator Phil Liggett was raised by Confederate infantry reenactors and ate a panfried catfish steak with his eggs every morning, he'd be Joe Polk. Joe is the producer, color commentator and chief engineer of the podcast MTBCast! (mtbcast.com), and he's how I start my day this time of year. Joe works late into the night so that I can wake up, make coffee while the new episode downloads, mount my single speed and head out for a little gravel grinder before the heat index reaches 100. In twenty minutes I can catch up on the previous day's racing via racer call-ins and Joe's contextualizing. His podcasts on Tour Divide and the Great Divide Race, as well as Individual Time Trial efforts, are informative, motivational, inspirational, and most of all, entertaining. The podcast medium seems especially suited to the self-supported, honor system, no-entry-fee-no-prize-money attitude of Divide racing; podcasting itself, like Divide racing, is egalitarian, and the listener ingests the news of the dirt world on their own terms. I'm a podcast junkie and can tell you the distance between a scattershot Dixie-cup-on-monofilament mess and a professional-quality program is as wide as the Divide is long; MTBCast! is top-shelf, and if you want to keep apace with what's happening out there, it's essential
