  • Amusing and informative!

    I found the pod through Spencer’s work on The Move, and I’m glad I did!

    There is a proper mix of very funny commentary on specific races and the sport of cycling in general, intertwined with very insightful analysis. I’m from the uk but also interesting to hear about the US local bike scene and the inevitable funny anecdotes around it.

    Co-how Andrew Vontz cracks me up too.

    Love it!

    Delighted to have stumbled on this pod. Great sense of the whole gestalt of the peloton and appreciation of the humanity of all the people involved with the races, with just enough goofiness to make me eager to hear what's rattling around in the minds of the podcasters.

  • Not consistent

    I have enjoyed listening to quite a few of these episodes but some of them consist of a lot of rumors presented as facts and that is not doing the podcast any favors
