This podcast has changed tacks a few times in the 2+ years i have subscribed . It has progressively become hard to follow due to changes in hosts and focus. Outside + continues to alienate me with its content and approach to it s subscriber$. Plenty of other more pleasant other ways to consume content and follow cycling . RIP VeloNews . Over and out .

This is one of my favorite podcasts - Ben is a great host and the pod keeps me feeling plugged into the cycling scene. Keep it up!!

Many of the, ‘Fast Talk,’ shows are excellent! Get Joe Lindsey on board, he would be a great anchor, seriously. I don’t know him or anything, he just does good solid cycling commentary- straight faced. Bobby J truly is a sockling luminary! It’s uncanny but true that Caley from CT, Fred Dreier and Fran Drescher are, in fact, one in the same person: Thrace-Face! The Tour de France commentary would be more valuable if it came out more promptly, like, The Move, Ha! Armstrong should be in prison for fraud; if he was black, he would be. #imprisonarmstrong Velonews is Jinxed, not Primrose. & yeah the team lacks organization. Strickland needs to go to jail for Wilson’s death, at a minimum he was the strawman.

Ben Delaney, may know a lot about cycling, may be a good print journalist. NOT a voice host. Really miss Fred. Used to really look forward to the podcast. Not anymore. Ben. You should listen to one of your own podcasts. They’re not good.

Gravel……Sorry nobody gives a BLEEP! That’s the point, it’s just an expensive group ride.

I personally love Ben as the new host. He is a real passionate rider that brings racing and training experience to the table.

Please don’t let Ben take over podcast hosting duties! His articles and general contribution to VN is great, but he is the worst choice for host. His voice is so dull and boring. I could not sit through the last podcast and won’t sit through this second one, either. It’s like listening to a big oaf that rides gravel. I can’t do it. Can’t Sadhbh be the host? With regular Hoody check ins? Seriously. Think about it. Please.

The VeloNews podcast is a great weekly refresher on world tour racing and behind the scenes insights and gossip. Production quality isn’t amazing, but bearable. However, in the age of the podcast renaissance, can you please take the simple step of muting your notifications while recording?

Been enjoying these and especially loving the interviews w the presents ex pros . Keep them coming .

What a brilliant podcast and fantastic perspective from Fabian Cancellara. The humility, maturity and wisdom provided were so impressive. So good to hear and huge chapeaux to Gus, Bobby J and Fabian for this podcast!

My unvarnished views: Cut the silly circus clown music at the beginning and try not to be so dopey. I must say there are some segments that don’t have this element and are rather good, but Im so turned off that I find myself looking for other ways to get cycling news.

I like this pod - when it comes out. They don’t seem to have a consistent, daily, prompt post stage update schedule, like The Move or CyclingTips.

Any plans for TdF coverage on the podcast? 3 stages down so far

Love turning on a podcast while I’m getting my miles in, some good laughs but very informative at the same time !! Keep it up!!!

This is a great show. Very informative and good topic you don’t usually get with a cycling podcast.

I will start listening again when Gus goes solo, or finds a better co-host.

Really like hearing Julie Young’s perspectives on training in episode 91 👍

Listen to these podcasts on long drives and while on trainer and there is a wide variance on entertainment levels: The good: 1. Andrew Hood race recaps and previews are excellent 2. Training info is usually helpful 3. Dietary info / fueling strategies helpful 4. Racer interviews are usually entertaining The bad: 1. The “tech” podcasts are so boring I would rather listen to paint dry. They should be eliminated! 2. Huge sound quality issues and variance on volume levels of each individual speaking. Annoying.

Thank you thank you thank you for episode 68!! I love how you took a potentially complicated topic and simplified it into something “regular people” like me can understand.

Is there a way I can only see fast talk. Or do I need to scroll through a thousand other ones also?

Very confusing discussion on statistics. Go back learn what a sampling distribution is vs a sample.

Fred. Thank you all at VeloNews for keeping us plugged into the cycling world with your weekly podcast! My wife and I love getting the new episodes and listening together. Excellent work and content. We appreciate the work and effort that goes into the podcast. Thanks again. The TJ interview was perfect to set off the Tour of Utah! Thank you— and the crew. Brent & Hannah

Music cut ins are unnecessary and way to loud. Get rid of the “Superfan” shtick and just have the guy ask his questions.

Coach Bobby J and Gus Morton are the best if you ask me! A fresh combination of culture and humor and the guests are world class. I’ve said it a thousand times “ Two JB’s still aren’t as good as one BJ!” Great Podcast!

Like the PYSO TDF pods. The other general podcasts can be good. Sorry, but when Coach Trevor is involved I just can’t listen, but otherwise the stream is solid.

I love Fast Talk with Trevor and Chris. I also enjoy the Velonews podcast with Fred & company. PSYO is simply uninspired. I even think the non-Bobby J guy joked one time that they don't write their script, someone else does. Whether true or not I don't find it entertaining or insightful. I also don't understand why this podcast is on Velonews because it appears to conflict with Velonews podcast. It certainly does not conflict with Fast Talk which is the best podcast on sports science by far.

Thanks for featuring Kate Courtney and Dr. Stacy Sims! Learned a lot from these episodes and always enjoy hearing from inspiring, smart women.

Love the podcast. But you guys HAVE to get rid of the dreamy porn sounding intro man. Hahaha. Just sounds wrong and so 90’s.

Ok too much guys. It’s not an innovation - it’s an podcast with Bobby J Tone it done

Fast Talk #65 on pickle juice, beetroot juice and dark chocolate rocks!

Great content expertly produced as always. Keep it coming! Dropping one star this time for belittling/mocking followers’ questions (heart rate 143 vs. 147). Unwise to bully the subscribers.

I love these podcasts! I am a masters cat 2 racer who participates in multiple disciplines. I have found many many training gems in these podcasts. I cant think of one fast talk episode that I thought was not relevant. I can’t get enough. Keep them coming ! Brett

I really enjoy this podcast as an avid cyclist. They do a nice job mixing real world tips and thoughts with news from the pro tour. The only time I have been disappointed is when they have spent great amounts of time discussing their snacks. Recently, however, those conversations have subsided. Recommend subscribing.

He’s the worst. Fast Talk on the other hand is amazing. I listen to every episode in its entirety. Spencer’s..... nope, can’t handle 2 minutes listening to him. Andy.

This is one of my favorite cycling podcasts. A great mix of science and cycling that can do nothing but help you understand training to be a better cyclist. I always enjoy the guests as well as the hosts who bland training, science, and cycling together so well. Great job!

I only listen to Fast Talk, which I find informative and entertaining. But since it's lumped into the same feed as "Velonews Cycling Podcast and Tech Podcast, it's a pain to use in my podcast app. Each of them should have it's own feed. Giving it only 3 stars until then. :)

I definitely like that the hosts and guests are good-natured and do not take themselves too seriously. I also have found the training theories to be informative without being dogmatic. Everybody on the show seems to have a pretty good sense of perspective. Audio quality for phone guests is hit-or-miss, but seems to be improved recently. My personal preference would be for shorter episodes that range less widely. I would be more likely to commit to a 30-40 minute episode.

This is a great cycling podcast with a well balanced mix of racing news, both men’s and women’s, and training advice. I’ve checked out some other cycling podcasts but keep coming back to VeloNews for their consistent, high quality coverage and light hearted sense of humor. Look forward to the show each week, keep it up!

I really enjoy this podcast. I have learned so much form fast talk. The 80-20 rules, how to counter steer, the power of the long ride. Definitely worth listening to.

Great conversation but it leads to the question, “As far as it has come, how can cyclocross grow as a sport. It shouldn’t be a perennial problem.

In my humble opinion there is way too much talk by Trevor Connor when there is a special guest, e.g., Dr. Seiler. When there is a knowledgeable expert guest, it is not necessary for Mr. Connor to be talking about all the things he does and imply how wonderful and exceptional he is for a 47 y/o guy. I guess that he does not realize it, but it comes across as bragging and almost competing with the expert's plan. When Dr. Seiler is there, one wants to hear about his research and experience, not 50% about Connor's rides and workouts and his somewhat condescending repeated use of the term "my athletes." Just saying.

Highly entertaining! Took this one on my evening walk and laughed out loud many times. Snappy intelligent interviews re the renowned Dirty Kanza and even better when you know some of the characters personally and are current with the issues raised.

Long time VN reader, but they’ve given up on creativity and leading the news. Give me Cycling News and Slow Ride Podcast and I’m covered.

Hey guys. I love the show. But as a mountain biker I feel like a lot of the subject you talk about do not pertain to me and I’m sure many others feel the same way. Any chance you could do a show on training for mountain biking? More specifically Enduro mountain biking and racing?

Great insights. Complex info presented in an easily understood format. Appreciate the team’s effort to share important information. Will keep listening! Mike cat 2 cyclist for 30 yrs/MD for 23 yrs.

Update: the complaints below have gotten better. Now I feel it is the light hearted yet informative podcast they intend it to be. Trevor has lightened up a bit as well. Dane Cash needs to stop restating himself three different ways every time he makes a point though. His race preview show is annoying given how he paraphrases himself. He needs to state his point, make an argument and move on {see what I did there?;-)}. Overall much better with an updated rating. ———————————- Man, I wanted to like this podcast. I read Velonews daily, subscribe to the print magazine as well. I like the lighthearted atmosphere the podcast brings to the cycling news world. Their analysis is fun and interesting. BUT, they use the word "take" like they are 7th graders just finding some new ironic word to use. "Garbage take," "first take," "what's your take," "here's my take..." Dozens and dozes of times each episode. Further Fred Dreier's (perhaps) parody of a game show host voice needs to stop. Talk like the other guys, be normal. Finally, Fast Talk's Trevor Connor is incredibly condescending bascially accusing all amateur racers of being massive Freds. Each of his episodes are very good at identifying a particular problem commonly encountered with us Fredly non-PRO racers, but does very little to actualy tell you how to solve it. "Dress warmer" was easy enough to convey. The whole series leaves me underwhelmed and feeling a bit insulted. That's my take.

My favorite drive time podcast. If I can’t be on my bike, listening to Chris and Trevor is the next best thing. And it’s super informative!

I always enjoy the weekly podcast. Fast talk is sometimes too heavy on the science and light on the application scenarios. Overall, keep it coming!

For sure best cycling podcasts. The training tips from Trevor and others is super good. His insight and back ground research is presented excellently. I’ve checked his resources in the past and it’s a collection of great summaries. I really enjoy how educational the show is, and how contrasting views and research are presented. The news show is funny and well detailed. I’d be totally game to ride with these guys, as they sound fun. Worth a listen for sure. Great when on Zwift!
