It’s easy to see why it’s easily one of the best podcasts for anyone who is interested in cycling.įor the likes of the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a Espana, there are daily half-hour podcasts to really sink yourself into the story of a three week Grand Tour. And though they take the sport seriously and aren’t afraid of cycling’s more controversial topics, their talk of the food and culture of the region they’re visiting on a Grand Tour adds a touch of atmosphere and color that’s all nicely wrapped up with the teams relaxed (but far from amateurish) presenting technique.
Produced by renowned journalists Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe, the show is centered around the world of professional cycling, detailing the weekly talking points of the sport and the stories behind them.įeaturing expert analysis and interviews with the biggest names in cycling, their expansive knowledge and love of the sport is contagious. If you’re interested (even remotely) in cycling, you’ll adore The Cycling Podcast.
The hosts have a great rapport and Montell has written a number of books, including Cultish, which specifically looks at the language used by cults to do all kinds of things, like create exclusivity and ensure followers stick around. This is a great podcast because it's chatty and, at times, quite informal and yet you learn something juicy, fascinating and important on every listen. They interview experts, analyse language use, identify power structures and speak to people with first-hand knowledge about their experiences, taking things that might sound a bit like a cult to ultimately ask: but are they a cult? Author and linguist Amanda Montell and comedian and filmmaker Isa Medina put all kinds of popular figures, communities, fitness classes and sports under the spotlight. But it turns out that many of these communities might be "a bit culty" and that's the premise of Sounds Like a Cult. When you hear the word 'cult' you probably don't think of CrossFit, cheerleading, Instagram therapy, MLMs and wellness gurus.
