But horrible audio quality. Like listening to people talk into a can.

Awesome!

Another generic posh guy cycling podcast with zero charisma and bad humour.

Do these reviews ever get posted? Asking for a podcast producer. Carlton

This used to be my favorite cycling podcast. Not anymore. The attorney’s offhand comments ruin the show.

What happened?! Haven’t heard you guys in a month! Are you coming back? 😔
MightyT2010 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/18
I started by listening to episode 180 and quickly learned that everything is offensive to the young lady being interviewed, including anyone that voted differently than her or addresses a mixed group of people as “guys”. FYI English is largely a Latin based language and all groups (unless...Read full review »

After several years subscribed, 7 minutes into Episode 180 was the limit for me. It’s lost it’s way.

Always interesting especially when they start to ramble.. perfect listening for long rides.
Adamishere2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/17
Having stumbled upong this podcast a few years ago and initially thinking it was a bit too focused on the politics of cycling, it has really grown on me, both with the recent special episodes and the banter from the usual suspects. I normally listen to it when out on a ride along the non-existent...Read full review »
Rundingsbøye via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 05/08/17
Good content from knowledgeable folks, but I *wish* they would tighten it up a bit- the shows consistently run over 2 hours and who has the time to listen to that much of any one podcast every two weeks? The participants are obviously having fun and comfortable with each other, but maybe they’re...Read full review »

Knowledgeable panel, but negative on so many issues. They talk about not getting political, but then they do. The attorney usually just rants. Lacks structure and focus. The last thing I want to do when done listening is ride my bike, so I unsubscribe.

I've listened to every episode until recently. The attorney's comments about deceased Justice A. Scalia made me ill. I'm done.Read full review »
ACH57 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/16
A quirky but fun listen, giving opinion on a range of cycling topics. Industry pieces are interesting, although some of the stuff is certianly US biased (despite Carlton Reid's best efforts!). Definately worth a listen and the array of voices is always good; some better than others. More...Read full review »

Excellent cycling podcast that focusses on more than the professional peloton, great host in David and a host of interesting and informative characters. Primarily US based but the issues are so similar to the UK and with Carltons input makes this a great listen for UK cyclists.
DazWatson999 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/11/16
Some very insightful speakers, especially Carlton whose arguments surrounding cycle advocacy are strong but also extremely convincing. They cover a wide breadth of subjects, such as the pro peloton, industry, consumers, safety and practical tips. Sometimes I find it a little too industry focuses,...Read full review »
eja1g12 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/15/16
I have listened to these guys for years, but the podcasts have become very infrequent and their normal panel of contributors have seemingly moved away from being integral members of the industry (insiders) to mostly working in marketing or seemingly often as consultants, though recently it seems...Read full review »

I've just listed to episode 122. It was hosted solo by Carlton Reid from Eurobike. It was an hour well spent, with Carlton able to meet a wide range of industry gurus, and then chat to them with a series of excellent questions. Top stuff. Just wish the podcast would come along a bit more...Read full review »
Bloke on a bike via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/06/15
I've enjoyed some of the podcasts. This recent one on the Tour became too painful to listen to, specifically the guy going on about not blaming the French press for its constant speculations and innuendo about Froome and doping. There are many other much better cycling podcasts that feature...Read full review »
tws58 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/15
This used to be a pretty good podcast with a mix of perspectives about various aspects of the sport. But over the last year or so it's become a drone of negative attitudes about cycling with too much emphasis on criticism and complaining - especially doping. It's become a whine-fest....Read full review »
Local_Boy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/13
Kind of liked in the beginning, but I have the feeling that it has gotten increasingly negative. Sure, cycling has its problems, but to spend one episode after the other discussing what is wrong with the cycling industry, why consumer days at bike shows are so horrible, and of course doping......Read full review »
De renner via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 04/22/13
Great podcast found it purely by accident. It's an American production as you'd probably guessed but don't let that worry you! :) it has a panel format and the banter is really good craic with panelists from USA and UK tackling serious and lighthearted matters. I listen to it when...Read full review »
Joe The Mod via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/18/12
Its a fun podcast to listen to for some decent industry news and insight... but a couple of the guys on this podcast seem to be way too cynical about most topics. It could be because: 1) They have been in the cycling industry for a long time... or 2) That they are just grumpy older dudes that...Read full review »
Sammy 1 million via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/12
I've been listening to the Spokesmen for several years because I like the topics and most of the presenters, but I'm giving up because the pace of the conversation has gotten too painful. There are much better cycling podcasts these days that cover more topics with deeper insight. It...Read full review »
CycloGrid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/12
The concept sounds great- get a bunch of cycling journalists, bloggers and other nerds together and discuss the latest issues of the cycling world. But boy does this crash and burn upon execution. Most (or all it seems) of the panelists are not in the same room, they are on a conference call. ...Read full review »
Mr. Dude with a bike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/12
Really enjoy the mixed views and topics discussed. Often frank and open discussion. If it's not pro-racing its advocacy and riders rights. The locations are different but the themes are the same it doesn't matter if you are in the US, UK or down-under. Keep it up.Read full review »

You would hope there would be improved content and delivery but unfortunately its getting worse there are many more entertaining cycling podcasts
Howqua via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/27/12
Excellent pod cast for cyclist. Better than most I have heard. This along with the Fredcast are the two best out there.

I love this podcast, all aspects of cycling covered in mature manner and with humour. I found this by accident as was looking for something better than the real peloton. This is it. Fredcast chairs and the American commentators with Carlton Reid ate excellent. I love the fella that said "I...Read full review »

If you want to listen to 4 Amateurs Podcasters carry on and disrespect Aussie Champion TDF, this this is your show. Classless.
Fan of Cadel via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/30/11
Admittedly, it is easier to edit than create. So, my regards to David for his successful podcasts. This is a POSITIVE review. That said, the podcast has some quirks that wear on a (this) listener after a few episodes. - The topics are repetitive after listening to five or ten episodes. There is...Read full review »

The Spokesmen give a great look into the bicycle industry, with a unique focus on behind-the-scenes of races, bike marketing and manufacturing, and riders. A good mix of spokesmen provide entertaining insight into a number topics. A few quibbles: It's water under the bridge, but getting...Read full review »

I've been listening to this podcast from the beginning and it used to be pretty good. I found out about it from the Fredcast, but this podcast was more diverse in subject matter, so it fit my interests better. Unfortunately, the Spokesmen has become "blah-blah, doping, blah-blah, UCI,...Read full review »

Pros: Well-organized roundtable discussion with some very informed and insightful guests. Excellent discussion of trade issues, such as frame builders. Cons: A little too much legal discussion and low interest cycling issues. Sometimes the conversation meanders and gets boring. Extraneous...Read full review »

The Spokensmen is a podcast for anyone that cares about cycling. It has discussions that deal with everything from bike racing to what is going on in the cycling industry. The hosts have great chemistry and this leads to discussions that are lively and engaging to listen to.

Abrahamsoler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/10
Very entertaining. Copied the same format of TWIT but still very good. I wish they could diversify the guests a bit more. Nothing has been done in August or September so I hope they haven't abandoned this show. I look foward to the Fredcast and hope this show continues.Read full review »

Excellent chat and debate from well informed industry experts. Always something of interest on the show and makes a great distraction on long solo rides. Sometimes a few technical difficulties with the long distance link ups but that doesn't distract from the excellence of hte content. Thanks...Read full review »

these guys are great, inciteful and at times very very funny. The podcast is great, it brings together guys and the ocassional girl to offer up interesting and infomative points, views and opinions of people from a broad range of the cycling community, and the world... keep it up
Pesado via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/29/07
A great podcast with informed industry players having grown up discussions about all aspects of cycling. With cycling so neglected in the wider media it's great to have access to people talking about the issues affecting both the sport and the hobby.Read full review »

The Spokesmen discussions are informative and entertaining. Programme highly recommended to cycling enthusiasts.
