Summary
Plus this month’s mini feature offers up a sneak preview of an upcoming Friends of the Podcast special. Four time British national champion Lisa Brambani sits down with The Cycling Podcast producer Tom Whalley to talk about the first ever women’s Giro in 1988. Brambani offers some rare detail as she battled convent dormitories and cold water showers as well as the race itself, all diligently recorded in her diary.
We also look ahead to this year’s Giro d’Italia and explore the punchy eight stage course which includes three summit finishes.
Also on the agenda, Denny’s imaginary Toblerone-inventing grandfather, Rebecca’s 90s hip hop karaoke and a thousand ways of saying “ooh!”.

| 0:24.0 | This is the June episode. |
| 0:26.1 | I'm going to have to start with an apology, a bit of a grovelling apology, that last month I promised us a Swiss chalet, |

| 0:36.0 | And I've totally failed. |
| 0:37.1 | I'm not in a Swiss chalet. I'm not in a |
| 0:38.8 | cabana. My two co-hosts are down the line, but I can see that, you know, Denny Gray of the British |
| 0:44.6 | Continental, you have done a great effort appearing on our Zoom call in a Swiss chalet. |
| 0:50.4 | I have, I have, I thought I'd jet out to Switzerland, despite my environmentalism, I jetted out |

| 1:00.8 | really, shouldn't I? It's a bit rude of me not to. It's a huge, huge chalet paid for by my uncle |
| 1:05.9 | Friedrich, who invented the Tobleron. Or is it just a background I put on Zoom? |

| 1:15.9 | I love because we had a lot of fun talking about this Swiss chalet backdrop that Denny is in. |

| 1:26.4 | We're really trying anyway. |
