New Podcast Project - Ask Me Anything/Make Suggestions
Quote | Reply
I've kicked off a new project outside of SILCA today called MarginalGainsPodcast and I'd love some feedback from the ST Family.

http://marginalgainspodcast.cc

The concept combines topics related to cycling technology and the search for marginal gains with topics from automotive, aerospace, human psychology, behavioral economics, business and more.. plus lots of great behind the scenes stories from 20 years of developing products and methods to help athletes go faster... in future episodes we plan to detail about a dozen speed hacks that I've never before publicly admitted to, but have been critical in numerous world and olympic victories.

Our first two episodes are recorded, but we are looking for feedback as well as questions to integrate into future episodes and would love to hear recommendations for future guests on the show.

THE Robert Chung recommended us in his Facebook feed saying the podcast was 'informative and fun' so hopefully we can sway him to make an appearance in a future episode!!

Thanks to everybody!
Josh

Great to hear! I just signed up for your email notification.

It sounds like your topic list is off to a good start - new ideas will probably happen organically as the show evolves.

Maybe have some innovative custom frame builders like Rob English on there - he built me a frame a couple of years ago and my chats with him always rewarding.

Oh thanks for being a supporter/partner of our bike club Tekne Cycle Club!

Thanks so much and love what your team at Tekne is doing, we need more engaged groups building and supporting the cycling community like you do!!

Yes, Rob is an amazing person to talk to.. you can literally talk to him for hours about one interesting topic after another!!

I agree with Robert :-)

Thanks for the kind words Josh.

I just finished listening to the first episode - great stuff! I really enjoyed the balance between the geeky side and practicle examples. I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is already very good. I’m just out of the hospital recovering from iliac artery surgery, so I’m content hungry right now! I’ve got time to burn for a while.

Cheers,

Iain.

Thanks BryanD... look forward to hearing your feedback. In the meantime I'm just happy that I was able to finally beat you to the post with a new topic ;-)

Next episode topic is asymmetry, and other than money, no topic is as related to asymmetry as information.. which in this case worked in my favor!!

I am not a pod cast sort but listened to the first one and will continue. Looking forward to some interesting inside info. In particular I liked the aspect about the CSC team and wonder if you worked with the Cervelo Test Team? That was another team that did things differently. As much as marginal gains many of the companies you talk about were disrupters to the old ways of doing things.

I'll agree with the informative and fun feedback. The first one was great.

I like the banter back and forth, and it reminds me of the TrainerRoad podcast. That is more engaging than just regurgitating knowledge.

It does have me really looking forward the spring classics. I hope you can tie the podcast to each race as they come up.

What type of schedule do you plan to release new content?

Thanks s5100e and yes, I was there from the beginning of the Cervelo Test Team and we will have future episodes covering that team as well as special guests who were at CSC and also from CTT. Interestingly, SILCA just signed a 2 year deal with EF, who's technical/equipment director is Andreas Klier who I worked with at both Garmin/Slipstream and CTT.. so there is so much good stuff to talk about here and so many good stories to tell, honestly, the hard part is picking which ones and for what episode!!

Good to hear about the EF sponsorship - the marketing should work really well with Rapha and the gravel stuff they plan to do. Woods just lives down the road from me - so I have to be an EF fan!

Listened to Episode 1. Learned a lot, and enjoyed the dialogue. Subscribed and rated 5 stars on iTunes. Thanks for the great content, and thanks for the best Valve Extenders on the market.

Listened to episode 1 on my flight today. Really strong start.
In my opinion the mix for the format, good... Natural banter mixed with technical knowledge and real world examples/experience is great. I have no interest in baseball but find myself intrigued by the A's arc, that's something special.

Keep it fun, don't let the name become a shackle for what each show "has" to be, and I think it is a winner.

We are super excited for the EF partnership.. team sponsorships have been hard decisions for us as most all the teams buy stuff from us already, so it's generally giving up paid business for free products, but the opportunity to partner with them for their 'non-standard' racing program was too much fun and learning opportunity to pass up!!

I'll be doing cobble testing and gravel testing with them leading up to Roubaix and again up to Kanza, so we will be sure to include those experiences, data and interviews with the riders in the Marginal Gains Podcast so stay tuned!!

Josh,

I still haven’t listened yet! I promise to listen today at work.

Random thought but maybe hire Talbot Cox to do a Silca video for behind the scenes?

Episode 2 is now live, in this one we cover asymmetry and end up talking about thermodynamics, physics and Kahneman and Tversky.. and of course, tire pressure, plus I tell a story about some stuff we did for Cancellara and Tony Martin that I don't think I've ever told publicly!

https://marginalgainspodcast.cc/asymmetry-part-1/

Also, we now have a voicemail to accept your audio questions and we are going to add special question episodes which will put us on a fortnightly (always wanted to use that..) schedule with one topical episode and one Q&A episode per month. We had so many really good questions from the first episode that this just made sense.

Anyway, please ST family, leave us voicemail questions so we can integrate them into the Q&A show!!
Call and leave them at: 317.343.4506

Thanks!

Gave episode 1 a listen during a ride today. Enjoyed it a lot and learned stuff about you I didn't know, which makes it an educational bike ride. Must be able to add extra saddle time for that...

Was wondering at what point someone was going to bring up Sabermetrics as a comparison. That's what was running through my head during a lot of the earlier discussion.
