Customer Reviews
Consistently amusing
David, Graham and Stephen obviously love the sport and evidently do it for this reason (rather than to massage their own egos). There is a great rhythm to their back and forths, and you quickly feel comfortable in their company. Interesting and informative, even for those without a strong interest in the sport itself.
Very entertaining
Great postcast, very entertaining and informative without being too serious. I do look forward to each new episode, so why the four star rating? - basically I don’t understand why the sound levels of the guys are all over the place. Graham seems to always be constant and Steve sometimes sounds like he’s in another room at times and I’m not talking about when he is in another location completely via Skype etc. I’ve heard other podcasts that Graham is involved with and they are fine. Come on lads, sort this out to make this a truly epic podcast. Like Steve, I too shave my legs but unlike Steve I do it with a new razor and the night before a ride :D
Worthy of your time
The obvious pleasure that the three hosts take in the sport and in each other’s company makes this well worth investing in. A lot of laughs belie a willingness to take on some of the sport’s serious issues in no holds barred fashion. Entertaining and extremely engaging.
