Hosted by Ned Boulting with David Millar, as ever, by his side. The two talk about lots of things, although they never stray far from the core issue, bike racing. Expect guests from the racing world and some proper old school reporting from the road side. Sponsored by CHPT3 and The Road Book.
The Never Strays Far podcast is a fantastic addition to The Cycling Podcast family. As a cycling fan myself, I resonate with the sentiment that this podcast encapsulates how many of us live and breathe the sport. It's not just about watching races, it's about exploring all aspects of cycling in our daily lives. What sets this podcast apart is the seamless integration of Ned Boulting and David Millar's personalities and perspectives. They bring a unique charm and humor to each episode that keeps fans like myself coming back for more.
One of the best aspects of Never Strays Far is the chemistry between Ned and David. Their banter and camaraderie make it feel like you're listening in on a conversation between friends, discussing everything from race analysis to music choices. It's refreshing to hear their candid thoughts and insights, as they provide a deeper understanding of the sport beyond what you see on TV. Their ability to engage listeners with their storytelling skills is truly commendable.
Additionally, the format of Never Strays Far adds another layer of enjoyment to the podcast. The morning show during the Giro was a brilliant way to start the day for fans like me who couldn't be at the race in person. It felt like being part of a community, sharing in the excitement and anticipation for each stage. I hope they continue this format for future races, as it adds an extra level of immersion into the world of cycling.
However, one downside to Never Strays Far is its limited focus on specific races or topics within cycling. While it's understandable that certain episodes may revolve around bigger events like Grand Tours, it would be great to see more variety in terms of race coverage or discussion topics. Expanding beyond just road racing could also broaden its appeal to a wider range of cycling enthusiasts.
In conclusion, Never Strays Far is a must-listen for any cycling fan looking for entertaining and insightful content beyond race recaps. Ned and David's chemistry, combined with their storytelling abilities, make for an engaging podcast experience that keeps fans like me coming back for more. While there is room for improvement in terms of diversifying race coverage and topics, the overall quality of the podcast is undeniable. I'm grateful to Ned, David, and The Cycling Podcast team for providing such enjoyable content that perfectly complements our love for the sport.
