Summary
The Story of The Cycling Podcast is a trilogy of episodes commissioned and edited by three of our subscribers.
In part one, How It Started, Jack Mckillop asks Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe about the origins of the podcast and how it has developed over the past nine years.
Part two, by Scott Emmons, is called How the Sausage is Made, and goes behind the scenes to ask our audio producers how the podcast is put together.
Finally, part three by Nick Busca is A Day on the Road and tells the story of a typical day at the grand tours through the prism of one of the most dramatic days in recent Tour de France history. Richard and Lionel recall the stage of the 2016 Tour when Chris Froome was seen running up Mont Ventoux without his bike.

| 0:00.0 | Hi Richard, as usual it's the night before the deadline for friends podcast suggestions |

| 0:38.8 | for a friend's special podcast. |
| 0:40.6 | Let me start by asking, whose idea was it? |
| 0:47.6 | Linos. |
| 0:48.6 | Well that's completely five news for a star. |
| 0:51.2 | Linos was desperate to do a podcast. |
| 0:53.2 | He said I need a stage, I need a platform. |
| 0:57.0 | No, Lionel and I had a bit of a dry run in 2012. |
| 1:00.5 | I didn't know him all that well actually and it was one of those tours that started quite |
| 1:06.2 | early. |
| 1:07.2 | So July the 1st is Lionel's birthday, normally the tour is up and running by then but occasionally |
| 1:13.4 | it coincides and I remember we had dinner in Liège where the tour started and went |
| 1:20.5 | back to our very nice kind of shadow style accommodation and we'd had one or two celebrate |
| 1:29.8 | three drinks and I got my iPhone out and said let's record a podcast and there we were. |
