What do we do?

We cover cycling, telling stories in audio and producing around 140 free-to-air podcasts each year.

Our regular weekly show goes daily at each of cycling's three Grand Tours –  the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España – as well as the biggest women's race, the Tour de France Femmes.

Arrivée is our rapid reaction analysis show released on the day of all the major men's and women's one-day Classics. The Cycling Podcast Féminin is our monthly show dedicated to women's professional racing. There are also other occasional spin-off shows including Explore, which covers bikepacking, endurance and gravel racing, and the road less travelled.

For subscribers – our Friends of the Podcast – we release at least 11 exclusive episodes of KM0 year, taking listeners deeper into the peloton with a mix of audio documentaries and in-depth interviews.

The Cycling Podcast was founded in 2013 by Lionel Birnie, Daniel Friebe and Richard Moore, who passed away in 2022 aged 48. Richard, our friend, colleague and driving force, was nicknamed the Buffalo and so a little motif was added to The Cycling Podcast's logo as a permanent reminder of his contribution.
