  • Excellent cycling chat

    Best cycling podcast on the market. Lovely vibes. Only issue is: Caley frets about switching topics when he’s had enough cos there isn’t time 😂 I mean… it’s your podcast, I’m sure it’s ok to chat some more 😂Once you notice it it’s pretty comical. Anyway great pod!

  • Definitely worth joining

    The free feed is great but After Dark (as signaled by the owl — not a loon) is 10-15 min of quirky joy. A great podcast with a bit of everything.

  • Quality is decreasing

    The regular host Caley keeps missing episodes and the replacement isn’t nearly the same quality. Hopefully they correct this or I’ll unsubscribe to this similar to their tech focused geek warning podcast after the regular host James left.
