I listen to every episode of ARR. Jim is a good host, who create interesting conversations with the people he invites on the show. I like the mix of travel stories, riding tips, product and tech reviews etc, and I feel that I learn something from most episodes. Of course, some episodes are 'meh' to me, but those are rare. I don't feel that the advertising is too much, and most importantly, I don't feel that they affect the editorial content. I guess you can argue that he has had several of his sponsors as guests, but I think it's really interesting to hear how people create a living out of their interest in motorcycles, and how inventions come out of riders' experiences. Maybe because I'm trying to do that myself... Basically, ARR is the best motorcycle podcast I've found.
RAW is a completely different show, but I love it just as much. The free flowing conversation makes me feel like I'm part of the group, and the personality of the participants come through well. I miss Graham, though. Usually I save the RAW episodes for longer solo rides, those guys are good company.
