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.

Dec 2200:57:32Tap to summarizeSeparating the Art from the Artist. Occasionally you encounter a piece of art, a book, a song, a painting, maybe even a performance, that moves you to the point that it alters the way you see the world, but then you find out the artist responsible is a terrible human, and it leaves you wondering […]

Sep 101:11:25Tap to summarizeA Partial List of Things We’re Against. There’s a subtle difference between being anti-establishment and anti-authority, but we’re both. Also, anti-boredom. Anti-fascist. Yes. Obviously. We’re against greed and avarice, whatever that is. We’re against eggplant and zucchini, unless they’re fried. We’re against work and wage slavery, human trafficking, racism, sexism, size-ism, transphobia, homophobia and Strava. […]

Aug 2501:11:45Tap to summarizeThe Loneliness of the Long-Distance Writer. Humans are social animals. We only make sense to ourselves in a larger context, and we spend the years of our lives trying to surround ourselves with good or interesting people, sometimes both. But the world is large and diffuse. The best people are scattered to the wind, like […]

Aug 1701:11:50Tap to summarizeThe View from the Top of the Creative High Dive. Even if you’ve been doing your thing for a good long time, you have these moments where you wonder if you can pull it off again.

Aug 11, 202501:09:04Tap to summarizeBeyond Cracked. Even the most unserious athlete occasionally overdoes it. If you’re like us, then sometimes you even overdo overdoing it. Maybe you’ve been there, dead in the saddle, dehydrated, cramped, contemplating your imminent death, praying for it even. And then you drink a full gas coke and feel much better. Music pick of the […]

Aug 4, 202501:11:29Tap to summarizeEverything Louder Than Everything Else. Everything and everyone is competing for your attention. What most people don’t realize is that they’re ALSO competing for their own attention. What are we losing? How are we fighting back? Or are we all just blithely accepting that our minds are no longer our own? Music pick of the […]

Jul 28, 202501:01:55Tap to summarizeDespite Our Best Intentions. A well-adjusted human being likely thrives due to a set of positive daily habits that support their physical, mental and emotional wellness. Most of us have a good idea what those habits are. Most of us find reasons, almost every day, not to do them. Music pick of the week: Robot […]

Jul 21, 202501:10:03Tap to summarizeThe Nine Ball Chronicles. Society is organized around the idea that people’s brains work a certain way, even though we all know some extremely large percentage of people have brains that different ways work sometimes. It’s like your dungeon master only likes clerics and doesn’t care at all about bards or druids. I mean c’mon! […]

Jul 14, 202501:05:24Tap to summarizeForgiveness and Hope Are the Primary Elements of Time Travel. We can’t change the past without forgiveness. We can’t change the future without hope. We can’t send you to back in time to kill Hitler, or other people like Hitler, but maybe we can all change our relationships to the parts of the timeline we […]
