I hope you're all friends of the Cycling podcast. If not, stop being so tight and donate a fiver to them.

The first special was pretty decent. Some interesting stuff from Lionel which you may not have known.

    It's not a donation though - you're actually buying something.

    Ironically, if they'd just begged for donations I'd have given them a tenner.

    I know, but I feel bad about buying friendship with a balding middle aged guy, wanna be hipster and that track fan :P

    On the other hand, that's very much my demographic.

    Yes, agreed with Iain.

    Is a very good podcast. Look forward to it every week more or less.

    They've pitched it well. £5er to access 'exclusive' content sounds a lot less attractive than a £5er to be a 'friend of the podcast' to keep the weekly podcast free, and receive a special podcast each month, for your troubles.

    I'd have paid more for it, but presumably little steps.

    They've done it absolutely the right way IMO.

    Would have thought you'd have been disappointed that the first paid for podcast was a sky one Iain?

    ;)

    I was, slightly. But it was good.

    I was amazed at how few 1 dayers they've won.

    And the JTL chat was interesting. I felt like I knew Dan's position on it.

    KBK and Het Nieuwsblad twice each plus some shitty small races?

    I've just invested my fiver but haven't listened yet.

    Hang on.
    They asked you to be their friend too?

    Getting emails from Lionel, Daniel and Richard is a bit strange.

    They need to turn themselves into a single identity - Like Bragelina.

    Lionanard?

    Daliord?

    The coverage and analysis is outstanding.

    I like it - It's like a camp Game of Thrones character.

    Yeah a great listen and the fiver for the 11 specials to keep the weekly stuff (plus the daily Tour shows) free is a product worth having. I'm happy to pay for any product that is worth it.

    How long does it take to get the email from completing the transaction?

    Poor Tao Geoghegan-Hart, being proposed as the future of Team Sky when he doesn't even ride for them! Yet.

    The first one they sent a private soundcloud link later which you can download.

    Doping bit is easily the most boring bit of it.

    Unsurprisingly.

    Just finished listening to it. Good, as ever. It's a shame they can't say more, because they've obviously more juice than the let on.

    I was expecting something really good, and I just found it really tedious. It didn't feel like anything I couldn't have read from a magazine I wouldn't buy in WH Smiths at lunchtime. Can I get a refund? :evil:

    Would you expect anything different from three cycling journalists, at least two of whom write for those such magazines regularly?

    There are going to be 11 of these for £5. That's 45p each. What can you buy for 45p? A Mars bar - no, an iTunes pop song - no, a national newspaper - no, anything in Poundland - no.

    (And that's not even taking in to consideration the free ones)

    You've got 10 more for the price of one mag (or indeed a big sandwich).

    However much of an ingrate I may be, I still didn't like it, and I was expecting it to be something extra. Perhaps they talked it up to much when they described it as being 'timeless' and something that could be listened to again and again...
