Do you subscribe to the best track and field podcast on the planet? Do so now.

This week’s LetsRun.com Track Talk podcast is out and our featured guest is Hobbs Kessler (listen here or in player below, Kessler interview starts at 86:51) whom we interview at the end of the podcast after he was honored by Gatorade as the male US HS track athlete of the year.

There was a lot of other stuff to talk about as the Diamond League is on break until Tokyo and that means it is time for Olympic speculation.
 
Potato Tim and Nijel Amos are back in a big way, Kate Grace and Isaiah Harris won’t be in Tokyo but they’re winning Diamond Leagues, the Fake Josh Kerr has a lot to say, Usain Bolt runs an 800, is Rojo like Jerry Schumacher, and this week in social media with our summer intern Karl Winter, who actually beat Amos in a race earlier this year.
