    ....They're usually 90 seconds to two minutes, so just hit the 15 sec skip 6-8 times.

    Has anyone tried Eurosport's latest, The Bradley Wiggins Show?

    With that Molly Weaver. Only one episode out yet so far.

    I listened to the Eurosport podcast last night with Molly Weaver and Bradley Wiggins. Seemed decent enough.

    Just listened in the bath (I'm just so f88king cool yo!) It was interesting enough. Mollly, bless her, doesnt add much.


    (It's fairly obviously an attempt to rip off Larry so poor Molly is somewhat surplus to requirement)

    It's pretty decent actually. Brad speaks well.

    Orla Chennaoui's "When Orla Met" episodes with Jonathan Vaughters are worth a listen on the subject of doping (and I say that as someone who doesn't much like Vaughters)

    Lionel did a good piece on the need for sponsors on his blog.

    I'm sure those complaining about adverts would be the first to complain if there wasn't daily coverage from the Grand Tours.

    Listening to part two now. Decent listen.

    Quite like the Breakfast With Boswell episodes coming in LA's Stages aka The Move feed. Ok so is a couple of USAnian dudes just chatting but insider perspective sometimes shows through, e.g. the chat about team dynamics and the after effects when Kittel flatted just before the end the other day.

    Anyone know of any podcasts that are more tactically astute?

    Armstrong's or Wiggins's?

    Yeah Armstrong’s is closest. Still not great.

    Wiggins’ most recent one I thought was fine but didn’t add that much to the rest of the crop.

    My point was more that if you want tactical discussion, listen to a racer not a journalist - their tactical ideas are directed towards what would be the best to write about not what is the best way to win.

    Hincapie on Armstrong's podcast is good.

    Everything else is garbage (outside of Wiggins who is okay).

    Rick dude, one day you're going to have to learn to live with English language cycling coverage << Dutch language cycling coverage

    Talking of the Cycling Podcast Adam Blythe's interview with Caleb Ewan was illuminating. His dealings with Sky as a junior were particularly interesting. Basically he was living alone in Europe as a 19 year old and they set him up with a pro level bike (oddly a Specialized), a powermeter and Bobby Julich as a mentor. Blythe quipped that they were looking after him better than some WT riders were by their own teams.

  • I liked Blythe's burn of Aqua Blue on the Wiggins pod this week. Something about being pleased to be in a real professional team again.

    Also, CyclingNews seem to have rewritten TCP's discussion about Ineos as an article about "environmental concerns". Quoted the same MP and everything

    Friebe on the Giro is always a highlight.

    Really enjoying it this year

    Daniel and Lionel have been doing a great job.

    The archive clips of Richard are very poignant

    Its different and yet still great, which I think is a mark of respect for Richard Moore and testament to the skills of Daniel and Lionel.

    I can't say I'm a fan of Kate Wagner

    The latest episode was a good premise, touring around Slovenia, but I don't like that she's reading from a pre written script.

    Even with the KM0 episodes, they sound natural and still tell a story

    As long as it's not the guy who narrates Friebe's Ullrich book, I'll be happy.

    Oh man, I'm glad it's not just me. It's weird hearing something that you know would sound just right coming out of Friebe's mouth being read in a voice that just doesn't hold/have any interest. I might just stump up for the book instead of persisting.

    Wish he'd done it himself, but I guess 18 hours of book is something for a professional.

    Frustratingly, I think the right pronunciation might actually be Yo-han Brown Ale.
