The Beginner's Guide to Pro Cycling

This is a podcast dedicated to going deep — really, really deep — into Netflix's Tour de France docuseries Unchained. We’ll break down all eight episodes, each with a podcast episode of its own. We bring a 360-degree view of the Tour de France, with hosts who were at the actual race as reporters, and provide backstory and context beyond the show.

The Binge Pod and Escape Collective are not associated with Netflix in any way. But we feel like we might be friends if we met IRL. 

What is The Beginner's Guide to Pro Cycling?

Cycling is a beautiful sport. It's also a nightmare for new fans to get into – a mess of jargon, history, and tactics, spread across a long and confusing calendar.

We are here to help. Journalism professor (and new cycling fan) Holly Johnson has questions, and Iain Treloar has answers (sometimes). Join us for the beginners' guide to pro cycling, as we break down what you need to know about the sport, and why.

Escape Collective is entirely member-funded. If you like this podcast please consider supporting us by becoming a member: https://escapecollective.com/member/
