This review was written as part of roundup of a bunch of motorcycle podcasts. Check out the full list.
If you have ever wanted to find some friends to have a few beers and shoot the breeze about motorcycles, this is the podcast for you. Brap Talk, a production connected to Asphalt & Rubber, is two motorcycle enthusiasts having a casual conversation about motorcycles and life and a lot of the in-betweens.
As the name suggests, the podcast skews toward racing and street bikes. Even though this isn’t everyone’s (or mine, per se) cup of tea, the knowledge and experience that these two guys bring, coupled with their enjoyment of cycles and hanging with each other – it makes for a fun show. Though topics of conversation can very, the subject matter will often circulate around industry news and motorcycle specs insights and reviews.
Listening to an episode feels a lot like being a fly on the wall as a couple of blokes shoot the breeze. It starts like most podcasts with a bit of catching up. The main difference is that these are two people who love motorcycles and spend their time doing cool motorcycle things. Sometimes things start with a recent tract review of a bike or a bike show.
A weekly motorcycling addiction, these two motorcycle enthusiasts, Jensen Beeler & Shahin Alvandi, discuss motorcycles, the universe, and everything.
Brap Talk
If the podcast was about woodworking, I would probably be still be listening. The strength of the show is the relationship between Jensen and Shaw – It is enjoyable to watch and listen to people having fun. The fact that they are talking about motorcycles is secondary to the chemistry they share.

The show is longer – runs two hours, and sometimes it can be a little crass. I wouldn’t play it around the kids, but it’s nothing too bad. Overall, a fun show about motorcycles to which I do subscribe.
