The Gear Patrol Podcast is our weekly roundtable discussion focused on products, their stories, and the culture surrounding them.

This week we welcome a very special guest. Casey Johnston joins to talk about her Substack newsletter, ‘She’s a Beast,’ the home gym she’s set up in her Brooklyn backyard, and what’s important for people to understand about fitness and lifting weights. Then we debate the merits of Amazon’s new Halo View fitness tracker hardware and fitness and nutrition subscription services. Lastly, we end with a discussion of the Rivian R1T, glowing reviews of which have been flooding the web this week, and why it’s such a mic-drop moment in the automotive space.
