The Monument season ended at the weekend in time-honoured fashion, with il Lombardia, and its now traditional denouement of a Tadej Pogačar victory. What more can anyone say about Pogačar's extraordinary domination? As ever, we at least try to dig out new superlatives, this week with Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and TNT's voice of cycling, Rob Hatch.  We've got other reflections from Lombardy, including on Quinn Simmons' remarkable performance and Redbull-Bora-hansgrohe's struggles. There's also the usual round-up of some of the week's most eye-catching news stories, including the latest on Derek Gee and the battle for survival in the WorldTour.     EPISODE SPONSORS NordVPN Get NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by me. Because I hiked Tour du Mont Blanc. We go through all the nitty gritty details of my trip, including how I decided on going with a self-guided tour (aka staying in hotels instead of camping), the differences across the French, Italian, and Swiss portions of the trail, the best towns, the landscape highlights, the crowds, the food, how my knees asked for a divorce from my body, and everything else. But wait, there's more. Chaunce is fresh off her wedding and honeymoon, she gives us the full scoop of her month of nuptials and romance. We wrap the show maturely by covering how many poops in a day is too many poops, my business pitch for selling farts online, the triple crown of wedding traditions, I share some new gear that I got to test on TMB, and listeners share their top TMB tips- including how I did it all wrong.

It's a meeting of minds on this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin as Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton take a closer look at sports psychology in light of World Mental Health Day. We hear from Dr Allie Wagener, sports psychologist at the Human Powered Health team about her work. Plus we hear from General Manager Ro de Jonckere and rider Ruth Edwards about the ongoing influence sports psychology has on the workings of the team both on and off the bike. The Cycling Podcast Féminin team also pick over the European Championships road race and debate the merits of that surprise World Championships win in the first regular episode since the race. Also on the agenda: cheese wheel rankings, the brief return of “Casio Niewiadoma” and the fear of a burnt pizza.

The autumn season rolled on with the European road race championships at the weekend - and report back from a men's road race dominated in familiar fashion by Tadej Pogačar, but also lit up by a French teenager riding and starring on home roads, Paul Seixas.  Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by the voice of Radio Tour, Seb Piquet, to analyse Pog's latest masterclass and what's next for Seixas. Before all of that, we also catch up on other news from the last week in pro cycling, including Cian Uijtdebroeks' surprise transfer to Movistar, Alexander Kristoff's unhappy farewell and the likely demise of the Arkéa team.  OUR SPONSORS, LLOYDS The Cycling Podcast is proudly supported by Lloyds.

Happy Homecoming, Badgers! UW-Madison will face off against the Iowa Hawkeyes in the 117th Homecoming Game in UW history Oct. 11 at Camp Randall in a battle for the Heartland Trophy. But before the Badgers kick off, the fans party. And each neighborhood does things a little differently. To get the scoop on how and where Madisonians tailgate, executive producer Hayley Sperling and host Bianca Martin chat with local DJ Nick Nice, who's helped bring the party to Regent Street for the past decade.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by thru-hiking power couple who've hiked more than 11,000 miles together Chris and Sara, known on trail as Endless and QB. “What haven't they hiked?” is a fair question, because it's been a lot, including the AT, the PCT (twice), CDT, CT (twice), Arizona Trail, Manaslu Circuit, Hayduke, Long Trail, Cohos Trail, Loowit Trail, Wonderland Trail, Ruby Crest Trail, Why-wash, (ahl-pah-MY-oh) / Santa Cruz Trek, the GR20, and more, believe it or not. They share the story of how they met, offer tips for making a marriage work both on trail and off, discuss how they befriended Mac from Halfway Anywhere and Viking during their many trail adventures, and explain why rafting the Grand Canyon stands out as the most epic adventure of them all. We wrap the show with news of the asshat who vandalized the Katahdin sign, the triple crown of seafoods, and definitively answer the age old question of window vs. aisle.  LMNT: Get a free sample pack with any order at drinklmnt.com/trek.

The weather is finally shifting! After weeks of staying in the 80's and even getting close to 90°, it's going to be much milder this week with highs in the 60's. I can actually turn my central AC off now! We recapped our weekends and Brian had a rant about garlic. In sports, the Brewers grabbed a 1-0 series lead on the Cubs this weekend, a look at yesterday's NFL action, talked about tonight's MNF game, the results from NASCAR & the WNBA Finals, and the Badger loss on Saturday. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and discussed what we watched over the weekend. Congrats to this guy's dog that just got into the Purina Animal Hall of Fame(who knew that was even a thing?) after it fought off a bear and helped save the man's life! Crazy story this weekend about Mark Sanchez getting into a drunken fight and getting stabbed! Have you seen the Taco Bell 50k that happened this weekend in Denver? Seems like a true test of your physical abilities. And we also talked about which mythical creature we'd like to see undeniable proof of. Had a couple of sideline reporters go down hard this weekend. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about stolen salsa, a new TikTok trend involving forks & pudding, a chance to win 19 years worth of free beer, a guy in Canada who was so stoned he called the cops on himself, a substitute teacher in Vermont who was at school with cocaine in her possession, a guy in Colorado who got a massive parking fee at an airport garage, and a #FloridaWoman who threw a bunch of tampons in the yard of her ex-bf.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wisconsin's 24–10 loss at Michigan may have added another “L” to the record, but it also gave us our first real look at Hunter Simmons running this Badger offense — and there's plenty to unpack. Simmons showed flashes of composure, accuracy, and leadership, even behind an offensive line that continues to struggle in protection. We'll break down what he did well, where the timing and reads still need work, and whether he's earned another start heading into the Iowa game next week at Camp Randall.Then we're getting into the decisions that had Badger fans fuming — from the conservative second-half play-calling to the late-game clock management that left timeouts on the board. Was Luke Fickell playing not to lose? Or did he simply not trust this offense yet? We'll dissect what it says about the current coaching mindset and whether adjustments are finally coming.And yes — there's still reason for optimism. The Wisconsin defense battled all afternoon, holding Michigan to just ten points in the first half and keeping the Badgers within reach until late in the fourth. We'll highlight the players who stood out, what Jim Leonhard (or Mike Tressel, depending on context) has cooking schematically, and why this performance could be a real turning point heading into the Big Ten West grind.It's not all doom and gloom — this one felt different. We're talking Simmons' poise, the coaching heat, and the defensive fight that might finally give this team a new identity.

Welcome to Friday. Strange shower at about 4am, but it looks like sunshine and near 90° later today. In the news this mornings, a massive fire at an oil refinery plant in California, former WI Governor Tommy Thompson is considering running again for the office, Kwik Trip is getting rid of pennies, and an update on the list of the Coolest Things Made In Wisconsin! In sports, the 49ers beat the Rams on Thursday Night Football, a recap of the three MLB Wild Card games from yesterday, a look at the rest of the NFL's Week 5 schedule. A preview of tomorrow's Badger game in Michigan, and the WNBA Finals kick off tonight. Elsewhere in sports, a couple of apologies about last weekend's Ryder Cup. No Doc today as he's at the Oktoberfest Race Weekend at the speedway, but we did talk about what's on the boob-tube this weekend and what's new in theaters! Not a big fan of A.I., but Amazon just introduced a new feature for Ring doorbell cams to incorporate A.I. to help find lost pets by connecting to other doorbell cams in your neighborhood. Also had a fantastic story about a young girl who just spent almost three years of her life in a hospital and she's finally able to go home with her family. A new "Karen of the Day" who got upset about another woman in the background of her workout video at a gym. Talked about a list of the top horror movies of 2025(so far), and another list of quirky & weird "wellness hacks" endorsed by celebrities. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in #Florida who broke into the WRONG house and got pummeled by an MMA fighter, another #FloridaMan who was driving 107mph and told the cop he was running late for his barber appointment, a woman who stole a motorized grocery shopping cart, a guy who vandalized a bunch of cars at a college campus and then asked ChatGPT if he was in trouble, and some fake dentists in #Florida who really f'd up some people's teeth!

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks against the spread in the top games of the weekend. He begins by previewing his matchup on Big Noon Saturday on FOX between Wisconsin and #20 Michigan as Bryce Underwood and the Wolverine rushing attack faces a stout Badger run defense. He then makes his pick as #3 Miami hits the road to face arch-rival Florida State in a Top-20 matchup. He makes his picks as #16 Vanderbilt tries to pull off another upset of #10 Alabama and Florida looks to get their season on track when they host Arch Manning and #9 Texas in the Swamp. Klatt also breaks down the battle of unbeatens in the Big 12 as #11 Texas Tech faces surprising Houston on the road. He wraps up his picks by debating whether Notre Dame can keep things rolling against Boise State and cover the large spread in that game. 0:00-2:39 Intro2:40-7:34 Wisconsin vs. Michigan7:35-10:46 Miami vs. Florida State10:47-13:46 Vanderbilt vs. Alabama13:47-17:53 Texas vs. Florida17:54-21:25 Texas Tech vs. Houston21:26-28:13 Boise State vs. Notre Dame Learn more about your ad choices.

The inaugural UCI road World Championships on the continent of Africa took place in Rwanda last week. Dominated - again - by Tadej Pogačar, the men's road race was widely dubbed ‘the hardest edition ever', but was it really? Team USA's Larry Warbasse joins Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie to give his verdict and general impressions from Kigali.  We also solve the mystery of Nauru's first ever World Championship entrant - who didn't make it to the start-line. In addition, we pay tribute to two influential figures in the cycling media who have passed away in recent days, and look forward to the European Championship road race at the weekend.  OUR SPONSORS, LLOYDS The Cycling Podcast is proudly supported by Lloyds.

Send us a textFormer Wisconsin Badger Mike Bruesewitz is back — this time as a weekly guest!

It might be too early to say Luke Fickell is on the hot seat in Madison, but the Badger faithful booed loudly and left early during the Maryland loss. They are not happy. Joining me today with his thoughts on that and more is the radio play by play voice of Wisconsin football Matt LePay

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Spencer “Boiler” Dunn. Boiler, is a self-described “pro-yapper”, improv leader, former employee of Parks Canada, pie enthusiast, and of course, a backpacker.  Spencer takes us through his long trail adventures across Canada, including the Bruce Trail, West Coast Trail, North Coast Trail, and Nootka Island Trail—journeys that brought him face-to-face with some incredible wildlife, from bears to whales to the elusive sea wolf.  We also dive into his recent hike on the PCT—how he broke the record for pies per mile, the notoriety that earned him on trail, navigating people's perceptions as a plus-sized hiker, how his trek deepened his connection to his queer identity, and, of course, his unapologetic hatred for gear talk (which I make him do). We wrap the show with news on New Zealand's most famous thru-hike getting a whole lot pricier, tackle the age-old question of which liquids we'd want to dispense from our fingers, we do the  Triple Crown of tummy aches, and hear a listener's compelling pitch for taking this circus to the Pacific Northwest.

The inaugural UCI road World Championships on the continent of Africa take place in Rwanda this week. The first few days of racing threw up one major surprise, the next few could yield more - and Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie & Brian Nygaard are on review & preview duty here. Remco Evenepoel‘s trouncing of Tadej Pogačar in the men‘s TT last Sunday confounded some tipsters but not the form book in that discipline. It‘ll be Pogačar, not Remco, defending his world title on Sunday - but did the former‘s performance on Sunday suggest his road race crown is there for the taking? We discuss this, hear from one Slovenian on the ground in Kigali and ponder the curious, in fact downright mysterious case of Nauru‘s single entrant on the provisional startlist.  OUR SPONSORS, LLOYDS The Cycling Podcast is proudly supported by Lloyds.

Oktoberfest officially kicks off today with the Senior Breakfast at the grounds this morning and the Torchlight Parade & Craft Beer Night later this evening. Jean's helping out at the breakfast this morning, so she missed the show. In the news this morning, another person has announced their candidacy to be the Governor of Wisconsin, a former Badger & Packer player has died at the age of just 47, the latest on the shooting at the ICE facility in Dallas, and a wild scene at a jewelry store in California as 25 people rush into the store & steal over $1 million worth of jewelry. In sports, the Brewers avoided a sweep by the Padres with a 3-1 win yesterday, Week 4 in the NFL kicks off tonight, Cal Raleigh hit his 60th HR last night, and Zach Tom is likely going to be out for the Packers on Sunday Night against the Cowboys. Elsewhere in sports, an update on David Fry after he took a pitch to the face the other night, Drew Brees & a bunch of other players get nominated for the 2026 NFL HOF class, and Sister Jean is retiring! We talked to Office Cora to see what she's up to this weekend in the 715 and we also asked each other hypothetical questions on "Hypothetical Thursday". Check out this 8 year-old kid who ran 50 miles in 50 days to raise money for charity. And I dare you not to get emotional over this story about a guy who got a letter from his dead mother 24 years after she passed. Chills. Today is "National One-Hit Wonder Day", so I looked at a list of some well-known one-hit wonders and sprinkled in a few of my own suggestions. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who's called the cops over 60,000 times, a #FloridaMan who was drunkenly doing burnouts to "impress girls", a squirrel in California that's attacking people and sending them to the hospital, and a coffee truck in Arizona that got banned from selling outside of a hospital.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Tuesday at the Ryder Cup, Andrew is stuck on a plane getting angry about a situation which he is powerless to prevent, yet he is somehow soothed by a voice message from Laurie Canter confirming that, it is true, his mother was one of Pan's People. Eddie and Iain chat in a more focussed way about the build-up at Bethpage and after hearing from Luke Donald, Iain has a conversation with US captain Keegan Bradley. Andrew does make a cameo appearance to ask Eddie who he thinks might be the best European player of all time.This bonus episode is in association with DP World. Hosted on Acast.

Tom Gilbert Madison Capitols' Associate Head Coach and Assistant General Manager Tom Gilbert is celebrating two anniversaries during the 2025-2026 season - the 25th Anniversary of his senior year of high school, where he and his Bloomington Jefferson teammates had their quest for a Minnesota state championship chronicled by author John Rosengren - and the 20th anniversary of his national championship season at the University of Wisconsin. For nearly 25 minutes, Gilbert shares his feelings about both experiences, plus drops some knowledge for young players on how to grow early in their careers, what it means to share the bench with former Badger teammates Andy Brandt and Shane Connelly, and how his NHL career has helped shape him into the coach he is today. Hope you enjoy.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Wesley Tils, known on trail as Megaman. Buckle in because oh boy does Megaman have an origin story. After growing up in the Mormon church, leaving the church to become a pro boxer, quitting boxing to give the church another shot and going on a missionary trip as his trial of faith, and ultimately leaving the church for good during this missionary trip, escaping onto the PCT with several church members essentially chasing him in pursuit, Megaman's path to thru-hiking was not exactly conventional. Since hitting the trails, Megaman hasn't stopped hiking, accumulating more than 15,000 miles across 18 long trails in 9 years. We learn about all his adventures, including hikes of the Maah Daah Hey Trail, River to River Trail, his self-made Mexico to Canada Trail called “the fourth crown route, and a goosebump inducing story about an aggressive encounter with a grizzly bear on the CDT. We wrap up the show with our one-minute elevator pitch to convince aliens that humanity deserves to survive, the triple crown of cable channels, share the news of Tara Dower's latest FKT, and deliver a five-minute one-minute gear review of a new free-standing tent from Hyperlite Mountain Gear.

Listen up class! The Cycling Podcast Féminin has returned after our post Tour de France Femmes summer break and we have that back-to-school feeling. Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton tackle some enticing subjects after a number of contentious topics have arisen over recent weeks. We discuss weight loss in cycling, the disqualification of five teams at the Tour de Romandie, Lorena Wiebes' continued domination and we look ahead to the World Championships in Rwanda. We broach the furore surrounding Pauline Ferrand Prevot's four kilogram weight loss in preparation for her victorious Tour de France Femmes campaign and delve further into the conversations around health, weight and disordered eating that have been brought up in the weeks since. In technology (or as Denny says, should it be politics?) we talk about the disqualification of five major teams at the Tour de Romandie after refusing to pick a rider to trial the UCI's new GPS tracking system. The teams – Visma Lease-a-Bike, Canyon SRAM, EF Education Oatly, Picnic Post NL and Lidl Trek – wanted the UCI to choose the riders, citing that mounting the 60 gram tracker would put that rider at a disadvantage. The UCI refused and disqualified the teams before the start of the race. The fall out has raised a number of questions over safety, stakeholder rights, the commercialisation of cycling and data usage and ownership, all of which we go into here. In geography, we cast our eyes over the upcoming World Championships route in Rwanda, centred around the capital city of Kigali. The race is notable not just for being the first time that the World Championships have been held in Africa but also for promising some dramatic racing on a climb-packed course. Also on the agenda: the debating club champion debates with herself and the odd things Denny used to do at the back of the bus with a protractor… or should that be a pair of compasses… OUR SPONSORS, LLOYDS The Cycling Podcast is proudly supported by Lloyds.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek brought to you by LMNT, we're joined by Jeff Oliver, better known on trail and online as IBTAT. In addition to building a large following on YouTube and Instagram, IBTAT will be a familiar voice to long-time Backpacker Radio listeners, as he was part of our first season of Trail Correspondents. We dive into IBTAT's story, including his journey to 12 years of sobriety — going from drinking two fifths of liquor a day to cutting alcohol cold turkey overnight, and the dangerous side effects that followed. We also cover his more than 11,000 miles of trekking over the past seven years, including hikes of the Triple Crown trails, the Scottish National Trail, the C&O Canal Towpath, and Sweden's Kungsleden Trail. Lastly, being a talented photographer and videographer, IBTAT shares expert advice on choosing the right camera and capturing quality photos and video during your hikes. Sassafras, Double Dip and I wrap the show with a call for this year's AT thru-hikers to take the 2025 Appalachian Trail Survey, we opine on what the AT will look like in 2035 (and look back at how it's changed over the past decade), we find the precise point at which a walk becomes a hike, Sass and Katie share how they got started in the Outdoor Industry (providing advice and inspiration for those who want to follow in their tracks), and we do the Triple Crown of cooking tips and hacks.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by social media and YouTube sensation, Liz “Handstand” Kidder. Liz is a thru-hiker, vlogger, dreadlock artist, former skydiving fanatic, and a handstand-expert. Liz gives us her full story, including the events that lead to her becoming sober in 2014, how she nearly died in a horrifying skydive gone wrong, how the internet got way too much into her biz almost immediately into her thru-hiking journey, the time she donated a kidney, and we make her choose which trail reigns supreme between the AT and PCT- for which she does not hesitate to pick a winner. We wrap the show with why you shouldn't wear underwear on a thru-hike, a call for 2026 Blogger applications, which is better- hiking steep and short and long and steady, I offer a REPEAT stupid thing of the week, and we do the triple crown of things we'd step in barefoot.  Topo Athletic: Use code “TREKFALL15” at topoathletic.com.
