Recently I have found a few cool podcasts. I’m sure there are lots more good ones I don’t know about! I love podcasts as I drive a lot! Share your favorite podcasts. These are my favorite!
Empirical Cycling and Fast Talk are some of my favorites for cycling (other than the ones listed) and Stronger by Science puts out really good stuff on strength training. I also listen to The Drive and Huberman Lab as general health and wellness podcasts
The Ride Companion
Geraint Thomas Cycling Club
The Social Distance Podcast
The Placeholder
Just Riding Along
The Matchbox
Off-roads Inroads
MTB Podcast
Adventure Stache
Pace Line
I can’t figure out if I enjoy that pod or not…I find Scott McGill quite annoying a decent amount of the time. Some if it is certainly generational but the indifference and disdain for everything can get tiresome.
But I do enjoy some of the conversations, so I keep listening…
Really enjoy Payson’s stuff…he is quite a good interviewer, IMO.
One pod not mentioned so far here is The Gravel Ride…can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on who the guest is, but pretty good overall.
Completely agree with you on the Bonk Bro’s stuff.
I get very frustrated with their naivety sometimes, but I enjoy it enough to keep listening. I do think it’s just that they are young, and have lead more sheltered lives than they realise. I might be completely wrong of course.
I feel like Scott could offer so much more! He is the one racing at the highest level, but often comes across completely disinterested. Again, maybe just age and being “cool”.
The other interesting thing is Dylan’s personality on the pod vs. his YouTube stuff. He seems more mature / professional in his YT stuff while he is almost “backwards-hat Dylan” on the pod. Not saying it is good or bad, just an interesting observation.
I am a big fan of the Rich Roll podcast. Not specifically cycling but there is cycling and other endurance stuff on it as well as lifestyle stuff which can be fascinating. I will watch it during endurance activities and listen to it while at work. I think of him as the Brene Brown of active people.
Not exclusively (or even mostly) cycling, but ‘The real science of sport’.
Also, despite the name, StarTalk Radio (Neil DeGrasse Tyson) has recurring science of sport episodes. The most recent example being the physics of a soccer ball.
I only just subscribed to The Matchbox and it seems good.
The Pace Line is a podcast where I like the hosts and what they talk about, but I don’t understand how they got 300 episodes in without sorting out their microphone situation to avoid all the mouth noises .
I can’t say I agree about Empirical Cycling. That pod is the most informative one with genuine how-to’s.
Different strokes and all that. We’re super lucky to have all of these resources.
I actually find Scott McGill the funniest person on Bonk Bros. Listening to the other guys is nice also, but they all seem to want to outdo each other. It’s a bit refreshing to listen to someone not taking themselves or a topic within cycling very seriously.
