  • Niche and Wonderful for It

    Cyclocross Radio is exactly what I want out of a podcast discussing a weird little sport. The hosts are funny, have more knowledge than me and they really make me feel like I’m developing a better understanding of CX by listening. Great stuff. (If you don’t know what cyclocross is this probably isn’t the place to start though.)

  • The Benidorm episode is pure gold

    One of there very best. After those races I know they would hit it out the park, but they covered it all with added Top 5 features which was spot on

  • CX takes as Deep as the Dendermonde Mud

    A show that veers wildly from topic to topic like a rider being thrown from the rut in the Zonhoven sand.

    But all the better for it.

    If you love cross then this is the one show you must catch every week.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 363 | Joan Hanscom and the USGP (What Your Dad Goes On When He Goes On About Cyclocross ep 1)
Q: What were the key factors that allowed this national series to emerge and scale, and what ultimately happened around 2012?
It required owning the events for a uniform brand, securing wide promoter buy-in, and maintaining strong media and sponsor support. The 2012 World Championship period exposed financial vulnerabilities when a major sponsor withdrew, nearly derailing the project, but sponsorship redeployment and stakeholder effort helped avert collapse for that year, though the broader momentum could not be fully sustained afterward.
Episode 363 | Joan Hanscom and the USGP (What Your Dad Goes On When He Goes On About Cyclocross ep 1)
Q: Hi Joan, what sparked the creation of the USGP and why was head-to-head competition so important for American cyclocross?
The idea grew from a need to unite the top American riders, give them regular, meaningful competition, and offer media and sponsor value that would lift the whole sport. It wasn't enough to have scattered races; there had to be a cohesive, branded series with consistent execution to raise standards across the board.
Episode 358 | 2025 U.S. Cyclocross National Championships
Q: How did you find the course at the Nationals?
The course was praised for being a better design than previous years, utilizing the hills and features effectively to create an exciting race.
Episode 358 | 2025 U.S. Cyclocross National Championships
Q: How was the trip home after nationals?
It took around ten hours to get home, which felt too long and tiring.
Episode 352 | Trek CX Cup
Q: How was it? Just making it and how are you feeling?
It was really hard. Originally, I didn't even think I was going to come this weekend. I was pretty tired.
