If you like modern rock, alternative, punk, new wave, etc. and like to learn about the stories behind the music and why (non top40) music today is what it is, check out Alan Cross’ Ongoing History of New Music.
Just had this one recommended. It’s really good. So far I’ve listened to the Dan Lorang episode but have Joel Filliol, Nino Schuster, Kate Courtney, and Hamish Carter lined up in the playlist.
Another recent discovery, Payson McEelvin’s The Adventure Stache. He has some guests that don’t interest me as much, and of course sometimes you don’t agree with a certain guests opinions.
This is basically Matt Stephens interviewing a professional Cyclist (or other cycling personality) for an hour or so.
Usually I would say it’s quite a boring format, but it’s Matt Stephens so it’s pretty entertaining.
Agreed, I think Coach Frank took a subtle swipe at the ongoing debate between sweet spot and polarized, scientific studies versus experience, and the need for coaches - all hot topics around here recently.
UNRAVELED - all about the unsolved case of the long island serial killer. super weird chain of events. Starts off with some heroin kid looking for money that ends up robbing the house of the chief of police and takes a duffle bag with a buttplug and pornos in it…
Lanterne Rouge - cycling podcast. The best. Make sure you check out the youtube. Old school race analysis vids are top shelf. But also analyzes current races and usually has them up within an hour of the finish. He has a great grasp on the history of cycling and can overlap it on top of current events and riders.
The Apology Line - A NYC artist in the 80’s had a phone line where people could call up and leave messages, apologies for things they’ve done. The artists ends up befriending a serial killer.
Geraint Thomas Cycling Club - One topic each week. Not bad. Feels a bit scripted but some good guests for each topic.
Watts Occuring - Luke Rowe and Geraint Thomas. They can be pretty funny when they are just taking cracks at each other.
Fast Talk - One of the best for training related deep dives.
McMillions - Incredible story about how people cheated the McDonald’s monopoly game. Watch the show. Some real characters.
