“You guys guilted me into a 5 star review. Dane Cash has a halting vocal cadence like Captain Kirk, it’s kind of confusing to listen to. It is weird to talk more about what you are going to talk about than what you are talking about: this mainly is annoying in the formerly great, How The Race Was...”Read full review »

“I love the depth they go into, and the fact that they are entirely member-supported. The technical articles are superb and they go to some effort to highlight perspectives that are not necessarily their own (i.e. people who might want to start riding). The racing news is often fascinating even...”Read full review »

“Apparently the Escape Collective doesn’t receive a lot of reviews. I assume this is because most regular listeners pay a subscription and thus have made their opinion known to those who care the most. Though they have my money, there have been a number of occasions where the hosts have, in...”Read full review »

“…because it was so good that I had to sign up for a membership. The EC podcasts are probably the best bike related content on the market. They cover everything from training, tech, women’s and men’s racing to poetry while keeping it fun! I’ve so far listened to every episode, start to end, and...”Read full review »

“Have been listening since the beginning. The team have frank discussions on all topics related to biking and have a weakness for the nerdier aspects of their areas of specialism (tools, aero gains etc). But what really makes the show is camaraderie among the hosts. Podcast production is professional”

“Not sure what happened to this pod. Still good info but seems like all the hosts are trying too hard to be comedians so makes for some tedious listening at times.”

“If the cycling podcast universe was a sleek, aero-optimised carbon bike frame, then ES has to be the funky bell that somehow doesn’t fit on the streamlined handlebars, but that does after some tweaking fits and gives the bike a face.
These guys really give colour and spice to the genre and...”Read full review »

Opinionated? Yup! But there’s a simplicity to them sharing years of knowledge and experience that’s...”Read full review »

“Not only are the team legends, but they are putting out content that you can’t, and won’t find anywhere else. If you’re planning on spending any money on cycling, make this the first place you do. Support journalistic integrity and some fine humans too (and not just the ones you hear on the...”Read full review »

There are ex-pros mixing it up with and as journalists who speak to everything cycling - tech talk, race talk and lovable goofy discussions about the UCI and our favorite racers.

“I was gonna be snarky at first, but figured that would be of little value. Instead I want to highlight that these guys fail to provide honest reviews of the bikes and tech from the largest ORM’s, and I can’t help but think it’s because their jobs depend on it.
They never provide a real critical...”Read full review »

“Hello - I’m a complete newbie to cycling and would categorise myself as an ‘armchair cyclist’ - I got hooked on the sport through a few lance armstrong docs and most importantly the Unchained Netflix special. I barely ride myself but have so enjoyed following the grand tours and more from my...”Read full review »

“The podcasts are consistently excellent, across a wide range of cycling topics and areas. For me they set the standard that other cycling-related podcasts should aspire to.
They convey a wealth of interesting and useful information in a very accessible and entertaining way. Highly recommended.”
“The hosts are always on point and deliver interesting facts even for someone deep in the cycling industry. The humorous episodes loosen up the listening experience. Oh and with the experience and track records the hosts have, their expertise is unquestioned.
Congrats! Frequent listener here.”
“I have been please with how the team covers multiple disciplines. While I favor MTB and gravel road riding I enjoy listening to what is going on across the spectrum. Keep up the good work.”
