Neko Mulally Turns The Tables: Interviewing Your Downtime Podcast Host Chris Hall

If you’ve listened to the podcast for a while, you’ll know that it’s very much not about me, Chris Hall, but today it is. For a while now, Neko has been telling me that he thinks people would like to know more about me. I guess for some of you, you’ve heard my voice for years now and I’ve not shared a whole lot about myself. So I finally caved in and let Neko take control of the questions. We sat down in Fort William and chatted about my background in mountain biking, my previous career in automotive engineering and how I eventually came to start the podcast. Hear about the challenges of making a mountain bike podcast your full time job and where the podcast is going in the future. Hopefully you enjoy finding out a bit more about me and where this whole podcast comes from.

Two of the hardest working and hairiest men in mountain biking!

[@downtimepodcast]

Definitely up there for hairiest men in MTB.

[@chloeparker7682]

Even if there was no coffee chat, this has been one of my favorite episodes so far. Blown away by your background..kudos for where you are now. Hard work and passion has paid off! Best podcast 💯

[@downtimepodcast]

Thanks Chloe, you know you can always DM for coffee banter!

[@andyhamilton9060]

Thanks for the shout out. Can’t work out if I suggested you move to a crap job or I was the catalyst for your change of career!! Either way, great interview guys!

[@downtimepodcast]

Ha, awesome that you tuned in mate!

[@andyhamilton9060]

@@downtimepodcast oh I’ll always follow and support Chris, even if it’s mainly out of jealousy for having the gumption to follow your dream!! Maybe one day I’ll actually do sports photography full time rather than just a hobby. Keep up the great work.

[@downtimepodcast]

@@andyhamilton9060 I guess there's definitely a leap involved, but I think that with the skills and experience you have, you'd always find a way if your passion project didn't work out, but it probably will!

[@thestrengthfactory.]

Loved this. Chris is so humble even though he is killing the MTB podcast game. Cheers guys.

[@downtimepodcast]

Thanks mate, that's very kind. You're killing the MTB fitness game and also pretty chill about it!

[@dcorkhill07]

[@1brenmaster]

[@tassieadventurehub]

As a fan, I've been waiting for this one for quite a while, great job Chris and Neko ! So inspiring to hear how you got Downtime started Chris. It's definitely provided me with motivation to keep my own Mountain Bike venture going. It's never easy, but the passion for Mountain Biking keeps driving us to push on..

[@Rowdyness11]

[@downtimepodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vertigobikes3832]

Great episode! Been waiting for this one, thanks so much for all your hard work, you have created something which feels like has brought the mtb community closer together, I have been listening since almost the start and never miss one, its always one of the highlights of my week. Keep up the great work Chris! Come visit Queenstown sometime 🙂 always got a place to stay or a bike to borrow.

[@downtimepodcast]

Reading a comment like that is so GOOD! For anyone to feel like my work has somehow brought the mtb community closer together is incredible. I'm 100% down with a Queenstown trip at some point and likewise the offer is open if you're ever in North Wales.

[@mozsombi]

Honestly best episode i've heard, your life story has been super interesting and Neko has been a great interviewer! cheers guys

[@downtimepodcast]

Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it.

[@an_irish_biker]

Great episode, nice idea and who better to host it. Great to hear the comments around the future of video podcasting it must be a tough one to consider. One issue though, where are the 4 questions !?

[@downtimepodcast]

Thanks, glad you likes it. I'll let you take that one up with @nekomulally

[@tsmyth13]

Great episode. Thanks for sharing!
