Here are some of the podcasts that have been filling our earbuds the last little while. Let us know below what you've been enjoying, we're always on the hunt for some new voices!
Ep. 09 - Claudio Caluori | The Changing Gears Podcast
Words: Sram
Claudio Caluori is a professional mountain biker who has won the Swiss National Championships 7 times, raced in the World Cup, founded and managed multiple World Cup race teams, and is the owner of the pump track company, Velosolutions.
In this episode, Claudio and DZ talk about Claudio transitioning from hockey to mountain biking, how he started to build pump tracks, the origin of Pump for Peace, and Claudio’s unique idea to create the first asphalt pump track.
Episode 48 – Reto Aebischer: Home-Made Carbon Bikes and Too Many Workshop Projects
Words: Skids & Giggles
We sat down with Reto Aebischer to talk about home-made carbon bikes, learning by doing it wrong and his many workshop projects. Starting out with making kiteboards and skis, he quickly progressed to his first carbon road bike and is currently working on the second iteration of his high-pivot enduro bike. And no, unfortunately, you can’t pre-order one at this point. Naturally, Reto and his friends also jumped at the opportunity to sign up for Red Bull Flugtag with a self-made “flying machines” and we get to hear the story behind their record attempt – and win! – at the event in Lausanne in 2021. Finally, to fellow Pinkbike users, Reto is known as a thoughtful commenter and forum regular as SleepingAwake and it was great to put a face and voice to a handle that many in the community have stumbled across on the web. Hope you enjoy!

Podcast: Matthew Fairbrother Talks about Bikepacking the EWS.
Words: Beyond The Tape
I was so honoured to sit down and talk with Matthew Fairbrother in the latest episode of the podcast. Even though he has only just turned 18, his attitude and wisdom are beyond his years. We sat down and chatted about his decision to bike pack the ews season, how it all went and what it was like seeing his name in the top ten. It was amazing chatting to him and his story was extremely motivating.
