  • 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

  • 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 371 | Colt McElwaine
Q: How do you see media serving the sport today versus back then?
Back then the storytelling and rivalries drew people in; today we need to balance high production with authentic, local stories that highlight grassroots athletes and regional scenes to rebuild energy.
Episode 371 | Colt McElwaine
Q: What was it like to pioneer live streaming at Nationals and early broadcasts?
We used backpack-style setups and a wireless mic; despite the nascent tech, we hit over 100,000 live unique viewers, which convinced us there was real value and potential for sponsorships in cycling media.
Episode 371 | Colt McElwaine
Q: What sparked the start of Cycling Dirt and your move into media?
I wanted to create something like the track-and-field coverage I admired, so I bought a camera, started interviewing at races, and reached out to FlowCast which led to Cycling Dirt's launch in 2008-2009; from there I became a traveling media presence covering nearly every race and athlete.
Episode 372 | Rochester Cyclocross Preview
Q: Tips on how to make the transition from racing elites to masters.
Tyler offers practical guidance to reduce training load, emphasize editing down to a lean routine, preserve essential skills, and focus on technique over raw power, plus a lighthearted reminder that some riders can still be highly competitive even as they move to masters racing.
Episode 370 | Ben Wilson (Louisville Cross Collective)
Q: How many cyclocross races are in the OVCX this year and what's the future plan?
Ben outlines that there are roughly 12-13 OVCX races this year, with four being UCI days. The strategy includes balancing a higher production quality with grassroots accessibility and ensuring there is room for growth while keeping costs manageable for participants.
