Podcasts about Grand Tour

This week Robyn and Will are joined by Kim Le Court. The 29-year-old Mauritian turned pro in 2015, and now rides for Women's WorldTeam team AG Insurance-Soudal. In that time she's notched up a Giro d'Italia stage win, six national titles and earlier this year won a thrilling Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes. In this episode Kim talks about having to petition teams to sign her, despite her obvious talent; making history by becoming the first African to win a Monument; coping with the mental strain of racing and the comedown after winning; her emotional ride to her first Grand Tour stage at the 2024 Giro; and embracing the role of the domestique while gunning for big victories - including her hopes for a Tour de France Femmes stage win this summer.Interview begins at 3.49------------------This episode is brought to you by Dagsmejan sleepwear, the innovative sleepwear that boosts recovery, aids sleep and helps power pro team, Tudor Pro Cycling.Visit dagsmejan.co.uk and use the code CYCLIST15 at the checkout for 15% off.------------------This episode is also sponsored by Laka Bike Insurance, the specialist bike insurers.

Randy Carson returns to share the stories of his Grand Tour of Europe! In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" segment we learn how Medicare will handle my eventual need for Mental Health Care (outpatient) after I go nuts one day. In UnitedHealth Group news, the company has announced the cessation of commission payments to insurance brokers for some Medicare Advantage plans. Moody's has downgraded their rating from "Stable" to "Negative". As if that weren't enough, Lefties AOC and Lloyd Doggett have formerly requested the DOJ to turn the heat up even higher! Finally, we review a list of physician specialties rated by the practitioners'' intent to either continue or withdraw. Some of the categories were very surprising.

Original Release Date: Monday 21 July 2025      Description:   It's been a while since Phil brought out the ol' Chillpak soapbox, but on this week's show, it comes in handy as Dean and Phil delve into the huge show biz news in “The Explanation of the Week” involving late night shows, corporate mergers, bribery, evangelical Christianity, and Stephen Colbert. In “What We're Reading” the teachings of Taoist philosophy go into the spotlight. The first two episodes of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season 3 get reviewed and Phil defends the series from some recent criticisms about the show “not being about anything”. Then TV mysteries “The Residence” and “Poker Face” get discussed before the 1965 big-screen Agatha Christie-adapted mystery Ten Little Indians and 2024 Cannes winner for Best Director, Grand Tour, get reviewed.

Send us a text     Yes, This one is being numbered as 11, even though it is coming to you 10th. There has been a pattern to our madness of going around the Great Wheel Model, but with our Producer's computer failures, this is the episode we have ready this month. So when you inevitably listen to the whole season again, listen in numerical order, albeit not release date.      In this episode of Lorehaven Hearth, Seth and Celina continue discussions of the Lesser Heavens and Hells, with first the somehow balance but scarcely visited Bytopia, then the utter desolation and isolation that awaits anyone sent to Carceri. Seth and Celina give a brief description and history, cover how to travel to, within, and out (if ever that be achieved), and toss out some ideas of how to use this building block in your own story. And of course, there's a description of some of the (terrifying) creatures you may (not want to) meet there. Lastly, Seth takes a sidestep over to a philosophical discussion, asking why it is that specifically the negative Planes, but all evil places and creatures in general, are more developed and interesting than the good Planes and "good guys". Thank you for sticking around with us, and please enjoy this episode. Season 2 is getting near the end, with big plans to come yet.

Dans la cité italienne accrochée aux flancs des collines de Ligurie, entre mer et montagnes, les chansons des poètes disparus courent encore les rues, les carruggis. Dans les ruelles étroites et sinueuses du centre historique, il faut lever le nez pour entrapercevoir un morceau de ciel. Ouvrir grand ses oreilles aussi pour en saisir la mélodie si singulière, encore populaire et métissée, entre ses minuscules échoppes de tripes ou de foccacias, ses venelles qui dévalent vers la mer et le port ou ses demeures patriciennes qui rappellent le passé glorieux de la République maritime de Gênes. Jadis rivale de Venise, « la Dame de la mer », comme l'a surnommée le poète florentin Pétrarque, a vu bien des départs et des arrivées, des explorateurs à commencer par le Génois Christophe Colomb, des négociants, des marins, des travailleurs, des immigrés, des émigrés pour les Amériques, l'aristocratie du Grand Tour au XVIIIème siècle jusqu'aux touristes, en croisière aujourd'hui, sans parler des artistes... Façonnée au gré de ces mouvements, Gênes s'est alors beaucoup racontée en musique, celle des ailleurs débarquant plus tôt -dit-on- sur les ports ; Gênes serait ainsi la ville par laquelle le jazz est « arrivé » en Italie.  Déjà, une solide tradition polyphonique venue des montagnes, le « trallalero », s'était enraciné à Gênes, parmi les dockers. Puis, dès les années 60, des auteurs interprètes génois, les « cantautori » ont fait école ici, portés notamment par le grand chanteur italien Fabrizio De André qui, comme personne, a chanté l'âme de ce port tourné vers la mer et le monde. Ainsi, la chanson, cette littérature du peuple, dit beaucoup de Gênes, qui elle est réellement mais aussi poétiquement ; car à Gênes, la chanson est au coin de la rue… Un voyage sonore d'Anne Girard Esposito.   À découvrir / écouter : - Le Museo Via de Campo 29 Rosso, consacré à Fabrizio de André et l'École génoise des «cantautori » - Le site du musicien Max Manfredi, cantautore génois - Le disque Crêuza de mä, de Fabrizio De André, Ricordi.   À lire (en italien) : - Genova.

Come and chow down on our Grand Tour sandwich episode! Deliciously filled with all the chat from a thrilling Giro d'Italia Women plus a look ahead to the imminent Tour de France Femmes in our mini feature about Breton cycling. Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton cover all the talking points from a Giro which saw the maglia rosa change hands several times. It took a daring strategy on the Queen stage from Elisa Longo Borghini to finally wrestle the overall victory from this year's breakthrough GC rider Marlen Reusser. And we ask a question rarely asked, where the heck were SD Worx? In our mini feature, we explore Breton cycling in light of next week's Tour de France Femmes Grand Départ in Brittany. The Cycling Podcast favourite François Thomazeau explains the history and heritage of the region, plus we hear from two Breton riders that have had outstanding Tours de France in recent years: Cédrine Kerbaol of EF Education Oatly and Maeva Squiban of UAE Team ADQ.  Also on the agenda: a café that floods once a day, Liane Lippert's many hats and a shocking revelation about Breton cheese that blows the Belgian cheese debate out the water.

È diventato quasi difficile parlare di turismo in questo periodo. Le cronache sul tema, infatti, sono spesso dominate più dalle proteste dei residenti per gli effetti perversi dell'overtourism che dalle bellezze dei luoghi. Ne parliamo nella prima parte con Paolo Verri ed Edoardo Colombo autori del libro, Più turismo per tutti (Egea), che invece ci donano uno sguardo positivo ed un antidoto anche agli eccessi turistici. Nella seconda parte il tema resta sempre il viaggio con le seguenti recensioni:- Attilio Brilli, Storie segrete del viaggio in Italia, Il Mulino- Attilio Brilli, Le vie del Grand Tour, Il Mulino- Mathijs Deen, Il fiume infinito, Iperborea- Yasmina Reza, La vita normale, Adelphi- Björn Larsson, Filosofia minima del pendolare, Iperborea- Giuseppe Antonio Borgese, Scritti di viaggio, La nave di TeseoPer i più piccoli il confettino di questa settimana è:- Rachel Piercey, La magia del bosco, Emme edizioni.

This week on the show, I'm joined by former pro cyclist, Grand Tour veteran, Olympian, NBC Sports analyst, and now mental performance coach, Brent Bookwalter.We had a great conversation about life on and off the bike. Brent shares his unforgettable experience helping Cadel Evans win the 2011 Tour de France, reflects on the evolution of team dynamics in pro cycling, and breaks down how the sport is shifting with the rise of data and the emergence of the next generation of riders.He also opens up about his own transition from elite racing to coaching, the role of mental fitness, and what it really means to support athlete well-being, especially during pivotal life and career transitions.Big thanks to my producer and friend Anthony Palmer of Palm Tree Pod Co. for joining in on the conversation as well.Be sure to catch Brent daily on Peacock throughout July as he covers the Tour de France, and check out his website to learn more about his coaching services. - - - - - - - - - - -A big thanks to our sponsors:RELEVATE by NeuroReserve: Go to www.neuroreserve.com/travismacy and code TRAVISMACY for 15% off RELEVATE by NeuroReserve: Core Dietary Nutrients for Lifelong Brain HealthHagan Ski Mountaineering- - - - - - - - - - -Purchase A Mile at A Time: A Father and Son's Inspiring Alzheimer's Journey of Love, Adventure, and HopeSubscribe: Apple Podcast | SpotifyCheck us out: Instagram | Twitter | Website | YouTubeThe show is produced and edited by Palm Tree Pod Co

It's a confusing time to travel. Tourism is projected to hit record-breaking levels this year, and its toll on the culture and ecosystems of popular vacation spots is increasingly hard to ignore. Social media pushes hoards to places unable to withstand the traffic, while the rise of “last-chance” travel—the rush to see melting glaciers or deteriorating coral reefs before they're gone forever—has turned the precarity of these destinations into a selling point. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz explore the question of why we travel. They trace the rich history of travel narratives, from the memoirs of Marco Polo and nineteenth-century accounts of the Grand Tour to shows like Anthony Bourdain's “Parts Unknown” and HBO's “The White Lotus.” Why are we compelled to pack a bag and set off, given the growing number of reasons not to do so? “One thing that's really important for me as a traveller is the experience of being foreign,” Schwartz says. “I'm starting to realize that there are places I may never go, and this has actually made other people's accounts of them, in the deeper sense, more important.”This episode originally aired on June 13, 2024. Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The New Tourist,” by Paige McClanahanThe “Lonely Planet” guidebooks“The Travels of Marco Polo,” by Rustichello da Pisa“Of Travel,” by Francis Bacon“The Innocents Abroad,” by Mark Twain“Self-Reliance,” by Ralph Waldo Emerson“Travels through France and Italy,” by Tobias Smollett“Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” (2013-18)“The White Lotus” (2021—)“Conan O'Brien Must Go” (2024)“It Just Got Easier to Visit a Vanishing Glacier.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Thursday 26th of June, Nicola Willis is still unhappy with the supermarkets, sending them another letter – when is it time for action? Moana Pasifika is in serious financial strife, but it was revealed that Whanau Ora, using taxpayer money, gave them $8 million in funding. How does a company, whose job it is to improve wellbeing in poorer communities, spend millions on a rugby team? Former Top Gear and Grand Tour host James May is coming to NZ with his new stage show about the world's best explorers, joining out of the UK for a chat. Get the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast every weekday morning on iHeartRadio, or wherever you get your podcasts. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you hear the name ‘James May', it's likely you think of cars, Top Gear, and The Grand Tour, but much like his co-stars, May has plenty of other projects. He owns his own pub and gin line, and has done countless shows visiting other countries, rebuilding toys and machines, and exploring life's questions. May's now onto his next journey – a live theatre performance that brings the stories of explorers to the stage. It's called ‘Explorers: The Age of Discovery', and May's bringing it to Kiwi audiences in August. It's been quite a busy year for May – something he told Mike Hosking was quite unintentional. “This year was going to be my, what I called a ‘dry run at retirement', to see how much I liked it,” he revealed. “But I've ended up doing a live tour, a couple of TV shows, various other odds and ends – it's actually the busiest year I've had for probably a decade, in terms of demands on my time.” “But maybe that's a good thing,” he said. “Maybe if I was left to my own devices, I'd sit in the garden and rot.” Despite his vast experience in the entertainment industry, May isn't terribly experienced with live performances. “We used to do Top Gear Live and then Clarkson, Hammond & May Live, but there were three of us doing it, plus our stunt driving team and various other circus performers,” he explained. “This one is quite intimidating because it just me."

Just one day after crossing the finish line in Rome to complete the 2025 Giro d'Italia, Tom Pidcock sat down with us in Salzburg for an honest, revealing conversation about the pressures, decisions, and ambitions that shape life at the very top of the sport. From the chaos of a three-week Grand Tour to the calm of a podcast studio, this episode captures a rare moment of reflection from one of the most versatile and compelling riders in cycling today. We delve into Tom's decision to leave Ineos Grenadiers and join Q36.5 - a move that made headlines across the road cycling world. The conversation also dives deep into his Olympic journey, with Tom reflecting on the incredible achievement of winning back-to-back gold medals in mountain biking and what it would take to return for a third shot at LA 2028. We also unpack THAT move at the 2024 Paris Games that secured him gold against French favourite, Victor Kortetsky. But this isn't just about wins and podiums. We also explore Tom's love for MTB and the sacrifices that must be made to be competitive in every discipline. We dive into what it actually takes to ride general classification in a Grand Tour, the mental battle of staying focused for 21 days straight, the sacrifices required to chase time on the world's biggest stages, and the emotional highs and lows that come with trying to hold it all together under immense pressure. Whether you're a fan of road racing, mountain biking, or simply fascinated by the psychology of elite athletes, this episode offers a rare look into the mindset of a rider who's redefining what it means to be a modern cyclist. Tom Pidcock's story is still unfolding, and this chapter is one you won't want to miss.

Henry Bolingbroke, exasperated at the parochial pettiness of Richard II's court, decides it's time to get out. After proving his mettle with the greatest warrior in the western world, he embarks on a whistle-stop tour of the known world to smash pagans and shop for exotic animals. He comes back to England on a high and sees the fruits of his growing family — one that already overshadows Richard II's.

After a five-year drought, Great Britain finally has a rider back on the top step of a Grand Tour. Simon Philip Yates won the 2025 Giro d'Italia earlier this month in cathartic fashion, exorcising seven-year-old demons on the Colle delle Finestre, a mountain that had played host to the biggest undoing of his career. The two Toms get to know SPY a little better with a game of 'Whodunnit: Simon Yates or Adam Yates?'. They then doth their caps to the forgettable stage winners of this year's Giro, and name the race's other MVP.

This week we've got news about The Grand Tour, the upcoming James Bond game and of course, 2 truths and 1 lie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP The Giro has finished for another year, which means all eyes are now shifting to the big one; Le Tour. We're just under a month away from the Grand Depart, so who better to speak to than an Aussie legend that's won stages in all three Grand Tours, nearly won the Vuelta last year, bagged himself the Silver medal at the World Champs, and narrowly missed the podium at the Tour back in 2021 - that's right, it's Perth's own Ben O'Connor!  Now in his 9th pro season, Ben's just joined the Aussie team over at Greenedge. I wanted to know what it's like for him finally signing for the only Australian World Tour team as an Aussie rider representing over in Europe. He's a proud Western Australian, hailing from Subiaco over in Perth, and I wanted to know how he felt about the riding and racing scene over there; especially after they hosted the Aussie nationals over this year! Ben's career so far has seen him consistently improving year on year, and without doubt 2024 was the best season he's had so far. He won himself a stage early on in the Vuelta - completing the Grand Tour set to go along with his stages in the 2020 Giro and 2021 Tour - led the race for 2 weeks and almost won the overall before being Roglified by a storming Slovenian on his way to his 4th victory at the Spanish race. On top of this, Ben finished 2nd at the World Champs - establishing himself as a real one-day contender after getting the better of the likes of Van Der Poel and Remco!  Of course, a lot of you might know Ben best for his role in the ‘Tour de France: Unchained' series over on Netflix. I wanted to find out more about what it was like racing the biggest race of the season with cameras in your face all day, and how he felt about the way the series portrayed him.  As always, we end up talking about all sorts: Ben's career so far, the highs, the lows, fatherhood, what Ben likes doing away from cycling, and more. I also wanted to chuck in some listener questions! That's right, those of you that heard the call and sent in your questions for Ben'O get some airtime on this month's pod. I love hearing your questions and pitching them to Ben, so make sure you listen to hear what he had to say! I've loved watching Ben's career and seeing him grow into a real Grand Tour contender. How could I not, he's an Aussie - especially now he's over on Greenedge rocking that fresh MAAP kit! It's no secret that Ben's number one goal this year is the Tour de France, so I had to ask him if he thinks Pogi can be beaten. What does Ben think? You'll have to listen to find out… Enjoy this ep, guys. Ben's a great guest and I had a blast having a yarn with him about bikes, wine, Netflix, and heaps more. Good luck in France this July, Ben! Can't wait to see you giving it to old mate Tadej!  Cheers, Mitch! ----more---- This episode is brought to you by our friends at Saily. If you're heading overseas for your next ride or trip?

A new Listener Lens feature this week comes from Discourse member Tony, who asks: how should you judge your warm-up before a race? Ross and Gareth explore what a warm-up really prepares—neuromuscular readiness, not just heart rate—and share insights from fellow Discourse members who've fine-tuned their routinesAt 33:35. And Finally (not quite today!), British ultra runner William Goodge is under fire after suspicious data emerged from his trans-Australia record attempt. Ross recalls a similar case he investigated, and the duo asks: why, in an age of abundant tracking tech, are we still debating whether these runs really happened?At 42:58. This week's Center Stage belongs to one of the most dramatic finales in recent Grand Tour history. Simon Yates won the Giro d'Italia with a stunning final mountain stage raid—equal parts science, strategy, and surprise. Mike and Ross unpack the physiology and tactics behind Yates' triumph: Did del Toro and Carapaz concede the maglia rosa because they hit their physiological limits, or were they undone by tactical missteps and pacing errors? And what about Wout van Aert, the satellite rider whose power and presence may have changed the race's outcome? From record-breaking efforts to tactical stalemates, we break down the science that decided the GiroLinksNick Harris on the Enhanced Games dealWorld Boxing announce the sex screening policyTony's question about Warmup HR, as discussed in Listener Lens (Discourse members only)Story of Rob Young's questioned ultra performance, with a link to the report I co-wrote on itAnalysis of Yates' record performance on the FinestereDerek Gee's Strava file Hosted on Acast.

Our Grand Tour finally arrives at one of the most-requested shows in the history of Japanimation Station: the 1997 adaptation of Miura Kentaro's seminal manga masterpiece, Berserk! Created by OLM – best known for their decades of work on the Pokémon anime – this 25-episode series adapts the Golden Age arc of Miura's manga, brilliantly employing a ‘limited animation' style reminiscent of the works of Dezaki Osamu. With outstanding scripts, inspired direction, and some of the best voice acting we've ever had the pleasure to discuss, the series is a truly remarkable feat of adaptation, doing Miura's work justice in so many ways. Enjoy, and come back next week for the final installment of our Grand Tour, as we come full circle back to the world of Toriyama Akira for this year's incredible DRAGON BALL DAIMA! Time Chart:Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:15Intro and History: 0:01:15 – 1:52:44Eyecatch Break: 1:52:44 – 1:53:28Berserk Review: 1:53:28 – 3:51:09End Theme: 3:51:09 – 3:52:39Subscribe to our YouTube channels! Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcastRead Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.comRead Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vK“Welcome to Japanimation Station” – Music by Thomas Lack, Lyrics by Sean Chapman, featuring Hatsune Miku. “ice” – Music & Lyrics by Thomas Lack, featuring Hatsune Miku & Megurine Luka. https://www.thomaslack.com

Simon Yates a remporté le Giro d'Italia 2025 de manière surprenante, s'imposant grâce à une attaque décisive sur le Colle delle Finestre lors de l'avant-dernière étape. Profitant de l'hésitation de ses rivaux Isaac Del Toro et Richard Carapaz, Yates a su tirer parti de la situation pour s'emparer du maillot rose et le conserver jusqu'à Rome. Cette victoire marque son deuxième succès en Grand Tour, après la Vuelta 2018, et représente une rédemption après ses déceptions passées sur le Giro. Nicolas Prodhomme, invité exceptionnel, revient sur sa victoire d'étape. Échappé dès le départ, il a su résister aux favoris pour s'imposer en solitaire, décrochant ainsi sa première victoire sur un Grand Tour. Une performance remarquable qui souligne la progression du coureur de Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale. Il nous partage ses sensations durant la course et ses ambitions futures.Avec Yohan Bredow, Jérôme Pineau, François De La Taille et Pierre Koetschet

In 2017, Megan Jastrab was an early guest on Hear Her Sports. She was 15 years old then and just, barely just, imagining her future cycling career. She is now a pro racer with Team Picnic PostNL. She's also an Olympic medalist and three time Junior World Champion. !!! In this episode, host Elizabeth catches up with Megan and hears about her recent experiences at La Vuelta Femenina, one of the three women's stage races called grand tours. Megan shares her thoughts about if La Vuelta should be called a grand tour, growth of women's cycling since she started, living in Europe, and her love of bike racing despite the rain and crashes. Megan began riding bikes with her brother Ryan at the age of eleven in her hometown of California. Two years later she competed in her first race, and by the age of seventeen, Megan was Junior World Champion in not only the road race but both the madison and omnium on the track. Hungry for more, Megan joined the national track team and came away from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with a Bronze medal in her first ever elite team pursuit, at the ripe old age of 19.Megan earned a double degree in Exercise Science and Business graduated from Milligan University. She now races full-time, based out of Sittard in Holland. Be sure to listen to her early episode (Ep18) because it's still applicable to youngsters wanting to get into the sport.

Johan Bruyneel, George Hincapie, and Spencer Martin break down Sunday's stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia, which saw Carlos Verona take the win with a long-range solo attack and the GC come to life with UAE's Isaac del Toro easily defending his race lead while distancing pre-race favorite Primož Roglič. In addition to highlighting Del Toro's incredible strength so far, they dive into the question of whether he can realistically hold on to win the overall and become the second 21-year-old, behind his teammate Tadej Pogačar, to win the overall at a Grand Tour. They also discuss he and his UAE team's potential vulnerability due to the apparent confusion about who the team's leader is, and how the brutally hard third week will shuffle the final overall standings. Before they take off, they predict who will win Stage 16's critical mountain stage and how the GC picture will look afterward.

Become part of the “Science of Sport” Discourse community via Patreon.Show notesThis week on Spotlight, we take a tour through some of the big stories in sport and sports science right now—from race tactics and concussion protocols to doping ethics, expert credibility, and how we identify and develop talent.We start with a lively discussion on the Giro d'Italia and that gravel stage. Was it thrilling unpredictability—or dangerous chaos? As the General Classification gets a dramatic shake-up, we debate whether the pursuit of entertainment justifies what some see as random, unfair risk and compromised race integrity. Do stages like this belong in a Grand Tour, or are they an unwelcome injection of chance into a sport built on precision and control?From there, we shift to cycling's ongoing concussion challenges. Jonas Vingegaard's recent comments compel questions about whether current policies do enough to manage brain injuries. Despite a policy that asks multiple people in the race to identify possible cases, the sport appears to be struggling to accurately identify who gets tested, when and how. Are critical medical decisions still slipping through the cracks because the wrong people, with misaligned incentives, are being asked to make them under pressure?Then it's time for our first featured topic: the evolution of the Enhanced Games. With swimmer James Magnussen chasing a chemically-aided world record and a million-dollar prize, we unpack the ethical and medical dangers of performance enhancement. What are the risks—for athlete health, for fairness, and for the messages it sends to the next generation?Next, we ask: How do you know who to trust? In an age of slick communication and pseudo-expertise, we explore the credibility of experts, and discover why true experts often sound less confident, not more. Ross explains how confidence can be a red flag, and why uncertainty and nuance are often markers of real scientific thinking.Finally, we dive into the messy reality of Talent ID. Ross explains four common errors—especially the “ghosts” created when resource-strained systems make early, high-stakes decisions that can harm both performance and people.We close with a brief segment on doping in Ironman, and why the “contaminated meat” excuse likely doesn't hold up—though science says it's not entirely impossible.LinksVingegaard on his concussion omissionThe UCI Concussion Policy that identifies all the right people to call for tests, but that frequently seems not to achieve thisDavid Epstein's recent article on fact checking and the illusion of expertiseOne example of the research studies used to sell BPC157, despite being in rats and showing nothing of the sort of promises companies make Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP If there's one thing the Race Radio boys love more than a pun, a pint, or podcasting, it's the Giro d'Italia. The passion, the culture, and - of course - the racing; does it get any better?! It's a Giro special episode this month, and boy do these guys deliver. The Giro is generally regarded as the fan-favourite of all the grandys, and that's exactly what Harry & Stu are; super fans.  In true Giro fashion, the race has started with a bang over in Albania. We've already seen some amazing wins, some unfortunate early departures, and more excitement than you can shake an arancini at. The boys wrap up all the action so far, talk about some of the main characters of this year's race, and - as always - tell the stories  you won't hear anywhere else. The Giro is a race that Harry & Stu have spent a fair bit of time at over the years, so they've got some cracking stories to tell.  Here's what the boys had to say about this month's episode of Life In The Peloton's Race Radio: “We love ‘grand tour season' here at LITP's Race Radio, and in this week's ep we celebrate the grande partenza of the Giro d'Italia. We discuss the Lidl-Trek love-in, Josh Tarling's amorous post-stage antics, before lamenting the heartbreaking loss of Mikel Landa. There's a ‘tourism' section starring man of culture Tom Pidcock, and we reminisce about our own grand tourism at the Giro a few years back before pro cycling photographer Zac Williams sends us a voice note from the race. Finishing off with a review of two great races also on, Tro Bro Leon and the Vuelta Femenina, this show is amore infinito from start to finish!” I only started the Giro twice, and only reached the finish once, but I absolutely love it. It marks the start of Grand Tour season, and I love being able to follow the story of the race over nearly a whole month. The Giro is a race defined by the Tifosi - the fans - whether that's on the roadside, watching on the TV at home, or being pumped directly into your ears in this month's Race Radio.  Pull yourself a shot of espresso, pour yourself a crisp Italian lager, order a pizza; whatever you need to do to get into the Italian spirit - and enjoy this month's Race Radio.  Ciao, Mitch

In this special Arrivée episode, Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton look back at the first Grand Tour of the year for the women's peloton, the Vuelta Femenina. The race marks the first World Tour stage race to see top rivals Anna Van der Breggen and Demi Vollering go head-to-head. Vollering may have had the edge so far this season but Van der Breggen has found further form since her comeback. And then there's fellow SD Worx alumnus Marlen Reusser who separated the two Dutch rivals on the podium at Setmana Valenciana earlier in the year. So where will the fabled red jersey land this time?

But he's taken his pod-mic along and will give us his daily reactions to each stage, right after it happens.

The Giro d'Italia is officially underway in Albania - and the opening two days have already lived up to the hype. A crazy stage one saw a reduced bunch do battle for the stage win, today's TT was won by a second, we've seen two maglia rosa wearers , GC hopes extinguished... Ahhh you can't beat Grand Tour racing.

The first Grand Tour of the 2025 season is also our tenth Giro d‘Italia on the ground with daily episodes. We kick things off here, with Daniel Friebe, Brian Nygaard and Rob Hatch looking ahead to the next three weeks of action, first in Albania and then Italy. First, we examine a route that may lack summit finishes but should deliver excitement from the middle of stage one. The riders on the startline should also see to that, particularly the stacked field of GC contenders led by pre-race favourites Primož Roglič and Juan Ayuso. We also meet a new addition to the podcast team for the Giro, Michele Pelacci, and hear more about what we've got in store over the next few weeks.  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 the arc of a life – especially one as rich and eventful as Greg LeMond's - certain stories get lost to the grander narrative. But in 1987, the bigger story was still unwritten. That year – soon after he'd won his first Tour de France, in the prime of his career – Greg LeMond was shot, and almost died.A Grand Tour champion, violence, drugs, intrigue, rehabilitation, and redemption: this is that story.We're running this first episode across our network, but future episodes will only be found on the Rabbit Holes channel.

4/4: Explorers: A New History (A Norton Short) Paperback – August 5, 2025  by  Matthew Lockwood  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Explorers-New-History-Norton-Short/dp/1324110317 Unfurling a tapestry of surprising and historically overlooked figures spanning forty centuries and six continents, historian Matthew Lockwood narrates lives filled with imagination and wonder, curiosity, connection, and exchange. Familiar icons of exploration like Pocahontas, Columbus, Sacagawea, and Captain Cook find new company in the untold stories of people usually denied the title “explorers,” including immigrants, indigenous interpreters, local guides, and fugitive slaves. He highlights female voyagers like Gudrid Far-Traveler and Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Viking women who sailed to North America in 1000 AD, and Mary Wortley Montagu, whose pioneering travels to Constantinople would lead to the development of the world's first smallpox vaccine. Figures like Ghulam Rassul Galwan, a guide for European travelers in the Himalayas, reveal the hidden labor, expertise, and local enthusiasm behind many grand stories of discovery. Other characters, like David Dorr, a man born into slavery in New Orleans who embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe and Egypt, embody discovery and wonder as universal parts of the human condition. As Lockwood makes clear, people of every background imagine new worlds. Adventurers from every corner of the globe search for the unknown and try to understand it, remaking the world and themselves in the process. Exploration is for everyone who sets off into the unknown. It is the inheritance of all.
