This week on Movie Mistrial, we journey through post-war Italy to explore Vittorio De Sica's deeply moving neorealist masterpiece, Bicycle Thieves.Bicycle Thieves is a profoundly human story told with simplicity and emotional clarity. Its non-professional actors, naturalistic style, and heartfelt father-son narrative capture the struggles of everyday life with honesty and compassion. The film's raw authenticity and universal themes have cemented it as a cornerstone of world cinema.While celebrated, some modern viewers may find the pacing slow and the minimal plot too understated. Its unpolished realism and lack of traditional dramatic structure can feel distant for audiences accustomed to more stylized or fast-moving filmmaking.Join us as we unpack the quiet power and lingering sadness of Bicycle Thieves. Is it a timeless study of humanity—or a film whose subtle approach tests contemporary patience?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitter

What happens when you walk away from the life you're supposed to live and follow your curiosity and sense of adventure instead?In this episode, I sit down with Leoni Kolberg, better known as LaserLeo the Cyclonaut, who has spent the past several years living on a bicycle, cycling across continents, sleeping in a tent, and navigating the world, and her inner landscape, one mile at a time.This isn't just a story about adventure. It's about choosing uncertainty over comfort, learning resilience through hardship, and discovering what really matters when you strip life down to the essentials.We talk about cycling solo across continents, the mental and physical challenges of life on the road, moments of fear and triumph, and why freedom is often harder than the safe, predictable path that society demands.In this episode, we explore:• Why Leoni walked away from a conventional future to live on the road• The mental toughness built through solitude and uncertainty• Fear, resilience, and learning to trust yourself• The people and moments that changed her along the way• Why adventure is often an inner journey as much as an outer oneThis is a conversation about curiosity, courage, and what happens when you stop living by default and start living by design.Notable Links:Leoni's InstagramLeoni's PolarstepsLeoni's bike: Tout Terrain*****If you're looking for that next-level boost to your creativity and photography skills, you've got to check out my Beyond The Lens Newsletter on Substack. It's like having a backstage pass to everything I explore with my guests here on the podcast - delivered straight to your email inbox.Think practical photography tips, mind-expanding ideas for personal vision, and real-world tactics to level up your craft.

In this conversation, Joshua Crone discusses the various programs and initiatives at Yellow Bicycle, a theater space in Philadelphia. He shares insights on community engagement, the challenges of running a small venue, and the importance of planning and research in theater management. Crone also highlights the upcoming Fringe Theater Masterclass, aimed at educating aspiring theater artists on the intricacies of production and collaboration in the arts.Chapters00:00 The Birth of Yellow Bicycle02:27 Community Engagement and Support05:25 Navigating the Challenges of Theater Production08:08 Lessons Learned in Venue Management10:47 The Importance of Business Acumen in the Arts13:43 Building a Collaborative Artistic Community16:29 The Journey of Creating a Theater Space19:08 Fringe Theater Masterclass Overview21:49 The Value of Diverse Skills in Theater24:27 Engaging with the Audience and Community27:18 Final Thoughts and Future AspirationsThe original yellow bicycle was a vintage Schwinn rescued from an LA landfill. It served as a commuter bike, camera dolly, and grip truck during YBC founder Joshua Crone's first two years in Hollywood. When actors came by the studio they would find it parked outside to make room for rehearsal or filming. Over time the yellow bicycle became a signpost, a symbol of the collective: a loose-knit group of theater and film artists committed to doing ambitious work, even under humble circumstances. A group that was going places, even if it meant cycling uphill against the wind. When Crone moved to New York in 2018, the bike stayed behind in Joshua Tree. But its spirit lives on in its successor, a 1975 Raleigh (pictured here at Lyons Falls, NY), and in its namesake: Yellow Bicycle Collective.As a resident theater company of the new Yellow Bicycle Theater in Center City, Philadelphia, Yellow Bicycle Collective is now a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit corporation committed to producing edgy new writing, experimental reworking of classic plays, and training in all aspects of fringe theater and indie film production. Its mission, as outlined in its Articles of Incorporation, is to enrich, educate and entertain the community by providing unique experiences at the interface of theater and film.FOR MORE INFORMATION: https://yellowbicycle.org | https://yellowbicycle.com/

Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.In this episode of the New England Endurance Podcast, we sit down with Firefly Bicycles co-founders Tyler Evans and Kevin Wolfson to explore the craft, philosophy, and real-world decision-making behind world-class custom titanium bikes.From geometry choices and material tradeoffs to bike fitting instincts honed in the peloton, Tyler and Kevin pull back the curtain on how Firefly designs bikes for how people actually ride. We dig into the myth of the “quiver killer,” why one bike can't always do it all—especially in New England—and how compromises show up when terrain gets rough.We also cover what it's like to order a Firefly: realistic build timelines, what customers should (and shouldn't) control in the design process, and what carbon-neutral manufacturing looks like in practice—not just on paper.Whether you're dreaming about a custom build or simply want to understand why some bikes feel right and others don't, this conversation is a deep dive into intention, craftsmanship, and choosing the right tool for the ride.Key TakeawaysThe “quiver killer” bike isn't for everyone — especially in New England, where rough mixed terrain often demands purpose-built tools.Tire clearance alone doesn't define versatility — geometry and ride intent matter just as much as tire size.Custom bikes shine when rider intent is clear — the best outcomes happen when riders share goals and trust the builder.Bike fit is about reading the rider, not just numbers — experience, posture, and movement tell a deeper story.Custom doesn't mean infinite choice — knowing what to leave to the builder can dramatically improve the final result.Great craftsmanship includes invisible details — many of Firefly's most important design decisions are ones customers never see.Carbon-neutral manufacturing is an active process — not a marketing label, but a set of real operational commitmentsThis podcast embarks on a journey to showcase and celebrate the endurance sports community in New England.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   Loose leash walking starts without a leash. I would like you to think for a moment about what kind of an emotional experience it is to take your dog for a leashed walk. For some people there is lunging, jumping, spinning, barking, or zig-zagging. Different behaviors, same outcome. What is meant to be exercise, connection, and calm ends up feeling frustrating instead. In this episode, I'm sharing why leash walking fails so often and why it's not because you or your dog have done something wrong. Leash walking breaks down when expectations severely outpace education, and once you understand where that breakdown happens, you'll never approach walking your dog on a leash the same way again.    In this episode, you'll hear:   • What leash walking feels like for both ends of the leash. • The difference between what we expect from our dogs and what they've actually been taught. • Why leash walking is one of the most unnatural behaviors we ask dogs to perform. • How teaching leash walking in reverse sets dogs up to fail. • Why behavior does not grow in isolation. • The role the 5C Pyramid plays in building real-world understanding. • Why distraction is rarely the real issue on leash. • What changes when education catches up to expectations. • How seeing where leash walking breaks down changes everything.   Join J-Walking: Write to us at wag@dogsthat.com with the subject line "Connected Walking" for a very special opportunity to join us in J-Walking.   Resources:   1.

It's our final heist movie of the year, and it's time to flip the script a little. A union man in immediate postwar Italy is assigned a job putting up posters. The pay is enough to finally give his family some stability, but it requires a bicycle. When his bike is stolen on his first day, he and his remarkable young son search through the markets and back alleys of Rome to find it. ----- Check out friend of the show Mattie's new book Simplicity here, or wherever fine graphic novels are sold! ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here.

Geek Warning time! Factor's new One aero road bike, SRM's non-power pedals, and whether riding bikes ever feels like work are all things Dave and Ronan discuss this week.There's a bit of happy news for Spotify users, with our member-only channels now available on the green app. If you've been missing out on the Ask a Wrench segment (this week with Brad Copeland) because you're loyal to Spotify, then now is the time to jump in.Time stamps:3:00 - Factor's new One14:00 - New non-power pedals from SRM23:00 - Cube's recall25:30 - Do we ever get sick of bikes?37:30 - PSA for the bearings on your bike40:15 - Ask a Wrench (Members Only)41:00 - When to replace a punctured tubeless tyre49:00 - How much of a difference do a few millimetres make?57:00 - Pressures for winter tyres

In this episode, we finally dig into the tyre-testing project that quietly consumed most of my year.Nine months, six tyre widths, hundreds of test runs, three road surfaces, four identical wheelsets, and far too many cold late-night tests than any sane person should attempt. But it was worth it.Today, Ronan is joined by John Buckley the founder of Streamlines Aero, the company behind the hardware and technical support so crucial to this testing. Together, we break down how the test protocol worked, why it's different, and why those differences matter. We also unpack the major findings: why pressure mattered more than width in this dataset, why some long-held assumptions didn't hold up in the real world, and how tyre temperature turned out to be one of the biggest and least appreciated variables affecting performance.This is just the beginning. Later in the episode we explain where our tyre testing goes from here and what to expect in the new year.

This week's episode is perhaps a little more behind the scenes than most. Ronan tells Dave about his nine-month tyre-testing project and why he is now ready to actually test tyres. There's chat about the struggles in picking products for our favourite things lists. And you'll hear a conversation that involves a lot of cliches such as ‘you don't know what you don't know' and ‘listen to your bike and body'. Of course, there's a PSA, and somehow the conversation even turns to elephant asses. Oh yes, the Geeks cover some real ground in this one!Members of Escape Collective get all of that plus the Ask a Wrench segment (with pro mechanic Brad Copeland). It's a big segment this week with five questions answered, but like every other week, it's only available on the member-feed.

When you are a brand selling products that fuel a lifestyle, there can often be a ton of education, inspiration, and connection that needs to happen with the shopper before they convert. The team at Brompton Bicycles, creator of the foldable bike, is led in the Americas by Juliet Scott-Croxford. One of the marketing approaches they have refined to achieve that connection is bespoke campaigns with influencers that can attract new consumers and inspire a test drive. She joins the podcast today to walk us through the power of authentic influence and, done right, the multiple KPIs it can drive to enhance a brand and accelerate a sale.

Big wheels, a product recall, and another rant about poor bike design – oh yes, it's time for Geek Warning.This week Dave and Ronan return to your digital radios. On the list is a sneaky disappearance of a liked SRAM product, news from UCI regarding 32in wheels, and a recall from Trek. Some time on the tools has Dave ranting about a particularly bad example of internal cable routing, and of course, there's a PSA.Members of Escape Collective get access to the full episode, which includes our popular Ask a Wrench segment (this week with pro race mechanic Brad Copeland). Just a note that we had an audio issue, and so Ask a Wrench this week has us answering two questions rather than the usual three. Still, there's plenty of ground covered.Happy geeking!Time stamps:4:00 - SRAM quietly discontinues older AXS rim brake options7:20 - UCI leaves the door open to 32in wheels in MTB12:00 - Trek's big recall of little things17:10 - Rant time from Dave24:00 - PSA for another place to look for a creak29:00 - Ask a Wrench (Members Only)32:00 - Corrections Corner for the previous Ask a Wrench34:00 - Can a chainring wear out before a chain?41:00 - Shimano 105 shifter levers not engaging

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   Many dogs start spinning, barking, or rushing when the leash comes out or you head toward the door, but what if the hidden source of that on leash chaos actually begins earlier than you think? In this episode, I'm sharing how to uncover what is reinforcing your dog's unwanted behaviors and how to build calm, connected exits using simple conditioning strategies and games so every walk begins with confidence and connection rather than chaos and pulling.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why some dogs react long before the walk even starts. • What "follow the money" means and how it reveals the real reason your dog is getting overexcited. • A real-life example of reinforcement patterns we often miss. • How picking up the leash becomes a conditioned emotional trigger for many dogs. • Ways to create a positive C.E.R. around touching the leash. • Why the connected Collar Grab is valuable for creating calm focus. • How adding the cue "connect" helps dogs check-in reliably. • What connected exits look like at low distraction levels. • How toys, bowls, and movement create opportunities to strengthen connection. • Why creating small daily "moments of connection" builds great habits. • How a simple Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) can set every walk up for success.   Resources:   1.

This final installment of the Orogenesis Dispatches series, which features host Josh Weinberg interviewing ultra endurance cyclist Kurt Refsnider, who has just completed the first full ride of the Orogenesis route – a massive backcountry mountain bike trail traversing the western U.S. from Canada to Mexico. The episode reflects on the full journey, covering logistics, experiences, highs and lows, and what's next.After riding for 72 of the past 82 days, Refsnider had just completed his ride and was enjoying some downtime before heading out again, this time to tackle Mexico's Baja Divide Trail. He detailed how, during his time following the Orogenesis route, he rode 3,130 miles (~5,000 km) and climbed nearly 413,000 ft (~126,000 m) of elevation across three states and a mix of singletrack (40%), pavement (10%), and a remainder or dirt tracks and Jeep roads.Looking back on the past three months, Refsnider talks of how the adventure was both a personal and collective effort. He experienced Orogenesis firsthand and tested what a purpose-built, bike-specific, transcontinental singletrack route feels like, while also demonstrating that the route “goes,” hopefully inspiring others to attempt it and validate the years of planning by the Orogenesis team. He also offers key highlights from the experience, lessons learned, and a deep dive into the gear he selected for the journey.
