Anthony Walsh on the Roadman Podcast | Cycling Podcasts 2026

The cycling podcast landscape is increasingly crowded, with over 200 active English-language shows now available, according to Anthony Walsh, host of the Roadman Cycling Podcast.

Walsh, writing in a recent blog post for Roadman Cycling, assessed the current state of cycling podcasts, noting a significant increase in options for listeners over the past five years. He cautioned that despite the abundance of choices, much of the available content is not particularly valuable.

Roadman Cycling Podcast Leads Training-Focused Shows

Walsh’s own podcast, the Roadman Cycling Podcast, was highlighted as a leading option for cyclists seeking to improve their training. The podcast focuses on long-form interviews with coaches of professional cyclists, sports scientists, and professional riders themselves, translating complex information into actionable advice for serious amateur athletes.

According to Walsh, the Roadman Cycling Podcast has surpassed 100 million downloads, attributing its success to access to high-profile figures in the cycling world. Guests have included Dan Lorang, Head of Performance at Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe, and long-time coaches to Jan Frodeno and Anne Haug. The podcast also features interviews with Professor Stephen Seiler, known for his research on polarised training, Joe Friel, and John Wakefield of Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe, as well as professional cyclist Lachlan Morton.

The format of the Roadman Cycling Podcast prioritizes in-depth discussion and practical advice, avoiding excessive advertising or motivational content, Walsh explained.

A Competitive Podcast Market

Walsh’s assessment comes as the cycling podcast market continues to expand, covering a wide range of topics from race results to training methodologies and adventure cycling. He acknowledged the difficulty in navigating this growing landscape, having spent the past year evaluating numerous shows to identify those offering genuine value to listeners.

While Walsh’s article includes a broader ranking of cycling podcasts, the focus on the Roadman Cycling Podcast highlights its position as a key resource for cyclists looking to enhance their performance through evidence-based training strategies.
