Best Cycling Podcasts
We love podcasts: always on tap, lots of quality ones to choose from and, best of all, free to listen to. So, here we present our favourite cycling podcasts in no particular order.
The Bike Show
The Bike Show, originally broadcast by Resonance FM (aka “the world’s first radio art station”) since 2004 and Jack Thurston is the resident host. The Bike Show is a favourite of ours for its esoteric and high quality content. A good example of this is a the episode “Did Cycling Kill Kraftwerk?” in which the author of a new biography on the band claims that their obsession with cycling caused the band’s career to nose-dive. Fascinating and certainly a change from the often cited “musical differences”. A great show if you want to get an interesting spin on cycling (pun intended).
