  • Something different and a great listen

    This is a great podcast for a look at how the sausage is made for a bike race. Great different perspective of the world tour from a funny pair of photogs.

  • So good!

    Love these guys! Love the behind the scenes look at mens pro cycling, love their senses of humor and irreverence. Makes my day every time I see a new episode pop up.

  • I'm a big cycling fan and just getting into photography, so what could be better than an Aussie and a Kiwi speaking with equal parts reverence and cynicism on both of those subjects simultaneously?

  • I have so much love for this podcast. Zac & Harry have a really lovely chemistry and bring a unique antipodean perspective/sense of humour to their discussion and analysis of pro cycling. Their stories giving background to their photos are always interesting. Harry, please don't chuck it all in for a Green Acres franchise!

  • Fantastic Pod!

    Just discovered this pod and listened to the episode on Rwanda Worlds. I really enjoyed all the detail and insight I would never have had through any other means of coverage.

    These two are so funny and lovely and honest. I love hearing the stories from inside the race.

    Update after Roubaix: shout out to Deb! IYKYK
