MTB Podcast
A weekly shop-talk session from inside the mountain bike industry, covering new gear, race news, and technical deep dives.
A podcast by and for people who work in the bike industry, that happens to be public. The hosts are all employees of Worldwide Cyclery, a major online retailer, giving them early access to new products and a perspective rooted in the business, media, and technical sides of the sport. Episodes mix casual banter about their own rides with structured segments, guest interviews with brand founders, and a heavy dose of listener Q&A.
“Unlike journalist-led podcasts, MTB Podcast's hosts are active participants in the industry they cover, working for a major retailer. This provides a unique 'insider' perspective on products, trends, and the business of mountain biking, blurring the lines between content and commerce.”
