  • The Race Communique - best Pod ever !

    It’s quite simple, Mitch, Tom and Luke join together to review the last few week’s racing in a humorous and informative way that no other cycling pod comes close to. My most awaited pod to drop, every time it surpasses my hopes…great stuff chaps - chapeau

  • Love all the shows!

    I love all the shows, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Yhe Race Communiqué. I love it so much. The combination of insights and humor of those three personalities is SO GOOD.

    I also love the long form interviews from LITP and the fast paced Talking Luft episodes. I think my favorite of those is the ep with Adam Blythe. Quality.

    I just bought the LITP book! And I’ll be tuning in for all the episodes in future and if I get desperate, I’ll be listening back to some I missed in years pa... more
