4.9 out of 5 stars from 2.5k ratings
  • Sadly not nsf but…..

    Like others here, totally understand why nsf has been forced to evolve in this way, but I’m quite sad about the direction. However (like many many others) I have benefitted from Ned’s free content for years and he’ll always get a 5 star rating for me. If this is the way that nsf has to go to stay alive then c’est la vie, but I am mourning the loss of its unique place in the sporting podcast pantheon.

  • Pete and Dave knocking it out of the park!

    Ned is clearly the patriarch of podding and we love Jacopo G on the Giro, but to have these 2 as you back up! Banging job boys. Can’t wait for Le Tour with extra Lizzie!

    Initially I was missing the NSF feels vs FtLoC uber production, but now I’m embracing the change! Keep up the amazing work…

  • Not feeling the love

    I’ve followed NSF since the old days of the ITV pod, and would always look forward to a new pod. I loved the different types of pod - Ned’s solo travelogues, the three of you having a chat, then the Grand Tour Episodes of Ned and Chat Stephens going increasingly mad on the Giro, communing with the Klangieri and so on, or the three plus Brother/ Sister guest. There has always been an eccentricity about the pod that has been a joy. It has felt as though things were changing -David off working, Pet... more

  • Not a good start to Love of Cycling, with Giro spoilers in the episode titles. I've unsubscribed as while I'm browsing my podcast list I don't want to know that Adam Yates has crashed out before I've watched the highlights. Hopefully I'll remember to resubscribe for Ned's global commentary adventures.
