Looking for Podcasts
 

I really dig the Just Go Bike podcast. Any others like it that folks know of. I am looking for something that isn't so Iowa/mid-west centric, but hey anything similar to the Just Go Bike podcast that is still pretty regional is okay. I have searched on Downcast and not finding much.

Also any podcasts that help with training to ride longer distances are also much appreciated. I am wanting to do a century ride this summer/fall.

My favorite training podcast is Velonews Fast Talk. They cover a lot of different training issues.

The outspoken cyclist by Diane Jenks
Bicycle Talk by Ron Manizza and Fran Storch
The Spokesmen Cycling Roundtable by Carlton Reid - from the U.K. and often boring imho

It's a little unclear what you're looking for. Training for long distance isn't really enough to make a podcast series out of. Fast Talk is likely the best training podcast out there but there's a lot of bull**** in some of their episodes.

Not sure if you're a racing fan, but:
Velonews: pro cycling focused but the guys are genuinely funny and knowledgeable. Also starting to delve into cross next year.
The Cycling Podcast: UK-centric, pro cycling focused. Really good coverage of the major races from three well known journalists.
Cycling Tips Podcast: more about gear and cycling culture but still a bit of racing. Professionally produced and lots of good content.
The Paceline Podcast: all cycling culture, gear, fitness coaching. Rambling and a bit boring sometimes but still pretty good.

Out of those four, the Velonews and Cycling Tips casts are probably my favorite.

I've heard good things about the Trainnerroad podcast.

I like We Got to Hang Out, as well as Cycling Tips and The Paceline.

There's a Nutrition podcast that Mountain Bike Radio puts out randomly that has some good info. Sound quality is usually pretty bad though (much like everything on MBR).

For training (to get faster) there's nothing better than the Ask a Cycling Coach podcast from the TrainerRoad guys.


Other than that I've listened to some British dude on the Faster, Stronger Healthier podcast and that seems decent enough. Velonews podcast is good too, as already mentioned. For TdF coverage nothing beats Stages by Lance Armstrong.

The Sprocket Podcast. My work wife's house husband is one of the hosts.
