Revolting
Hosted by The Cycling Independent · EN
Revolting is a cycling podcast that isn’t about bikes, or even cycling really. Hosts Robot and Stevil sift through topics vaguely related to cycling, looking for what’s good, what’s better, and dwelling sometimes on what’s confusing. The guys are looking, and almost never finding, answers. But the fun is in the looking. This a cycling podcast for those not defined by racing, high-performance, or any performance at all really. It’s a podcast for people who just like to ride bikes, and do other stuff, because it’s fun. Revolting is another fine production by The Cycling Independent.

2d ago01:17:23Tap to summarizeLightning Strikes Thrice. We’ve been doing a bad job of getting to the topic each week, which leaves you without the deep and wise words that you come here for. Instead of correcting our behavior and getting to work earlier in the podcast, we’re just going to give in to the ADD and spend the […]

1w ago01:10:40Tap to summarizeThe Princesses and the Peas. Even on our best days we encounter annoyances, dumb little things that threaten to send us into a blind rage. A pebble in the shoe. An ingrown hair. Tax prep. The voices of other people. Dave Grohl in a documentary. If we could eliminate them all, would we just invent […]

2w ago01:15:07Tap to summarizeStars Going Supernova. Even the stars in the sky flame out. They say the 50s are the new 30s, but in our 30s we could sleep and injuries still healed. In our experience the 50s might be the new 80s, where stuff breaks spontaneously and we give it all up to watch daytime news and […]

3w ago01:10:23Tap to summarizeServing Size Equals None. The ‘80s represented a magical confluence of microwave cookery and our own voracious adolescences. Have you ever eaten a Subway 6” meatball sub in two bites? Have you ever eaten a sleeve of Thin Mints and noticed how much it leaves your mouth tasting like you just smoked a menthol cigarette? […]

May 301:11:31Tap to summarizeThe Unhelpful Remembance of Selves Past. We always say, “Comparison is the theft of joy.” Actually, apparently, Teddy Roosevelt said it first. He also famously once said, “Who farted? Was it you?” but that’s neither here nor there. The thing is, the person we compare ourselves most often and most unhelpfully is our past self, […]

Apr 2701:07:13Tap to summarizeThe Quadrennial Performance Review. The corporate culture here at the Revolting podcast is sorely lacking. Because we fired everyone in HR (for obvious reasons), neither one of us has had a performance review in over four years of podcasting. Today, that changes. Music Picks: Robot – Fucked Up – Epics in Minutes Stevil – The […]

Apr 2001:03:49Tap to summarizeWe’re Not Starting a Cult, But If We Were Starting a Cult. Humans will believe just about anything, which makes them ripe for recruitment by people who would manipulate them for their own nefarious ends. In fact, the history of humanity is the history of small groups or charismatic individuals controlling the behavior of the […]

Apr 1301:02:27Tap to summarizeTV Had Rotted Our Minds Long Before the Internet Came Along. You must see that the Internet is just the Choose Your Own Adventure version of television, and long before the algorithm was developed to destroy our free will, TV wormed its way into our hearts and minds, setting the stage for our eventual self-destruction. […]

Apr 601:08:08Tap to summarizeA Participation Trophy for Your Trouble. It’s award season, because it’s never not award season when people who already make a lot of money and are crazy famous also want to be told they’re doing a real good job. As the greatest podcast that ever was, in this universe or any of the others, we […]

Mar 3001:10:00Tap to summarizeNever Put the Shovel Away. Robot made a huge mistake last week. He put one of his snow shovels away in the shed. That caused it to snow this week. OK. OK. Maybe it didn’t cause it to snow, but you know how you’re not superstitious, except that you sort of suspect that if you […]
