Welcome to The Wild Ones podcast, the show where we chat about all things cycling. Hosted by YouTubers and long-time bike friends Francis and Jimmi, along with producer Emily, each week we discuss the latest news from the cycling world, share our views on some controversial topics, revealing behind the scenes secrets from our YouTube channel – Cade Media – and throw it over to you, the listeners, to tell us what you really want to talk about when it comes to bikes. We hope you enjoy! Get involved and send us your stuff to wildonespodcast@cademedia.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Wild Ones Cycling Podcast is an absolute gem in the world of cycling podcasts. Based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, the hosts Francis and Jimmy bring their unique perspectives and entertaining banter to a wide range of cycling topics. I personally love that they also have a YouTube channel called Cade Media, which adds an extra dimension to their content. As someone who lived in Newcastle for a couple of years and fell in love with the city, it brings an added layer of nostalgia for me. Whether you're new to cycling or an experienced cyclist, this podcast has something for everyone.
One of the best aspects of The Wild Ones Cycling Podcast is the wide range of topics they cover. From race analysis to bike reviews and everything in between, they tackle it all. This makes it a great resource for both beginners who are trying to learn more about cycling and experienced cyclists who are looking for fresh insights and perspectives. Additionally, Francis and Jimmy have outstanding back-and-forths that keep the podcast lively and engaging. Their opinions are well thought out and provide interesting viewpoints on various subjects within the world of cycling.
However, one downside I've noticed is that occasionally Francis and Jimmy tend to talk over each other, causing some points to be missed. While it's clear that they have great chemistry and enjoy bouncing ideas off each other, it can sometimes hinder the flow of conversation. It would be beneficial if they focused on giving each other more space to speak so that listeners don't miss out on any valuable insights or arguments being made.
In conclusion, The Wild Ones Cycling Podcast is a must-listen for any cycling fan. With its diverse range of topics, informative discussions, and entertaining banter between Francis and Jimmy, it provides a refreshing take on the world of cycling. Living in an area where cycling may not be as prominent as desired, having this podcast as an outlet to stay informed is invaluable. Keep up the great work, guys!
