I've made a little jump into the world of TV. I've been working with OJ Borg and his Mega City Digital crew on a show for The Bike Channel called 100 Things To Do On A Bike. It's basically a cycling bucket list. The first episode went out last Sunday (August 13th). Below is a…

The Hard Road #1
I've tried turning my cycling blog, The Hard Road, into a podcast. The Hard Road is known for its first hand accounts of bike racing in the UK. It's almost always calamitous with occasional moments of success. The first one is up on my soundcloud page, but I've also posted it below because I'm nice…
The Don on The Clash
Last Saturday was the 40th anniversary of the debut album by The Clash. It's one of Huey's favourite records and a record he can remember buying back in NYC, though he probably got it in 1979 as the US release came out a couple of years after it did over here. Obviously we did a…
BobaFatt ’94 Hip Hop mix
I didn't have time to include all of the 1994 stuff in Huey's 1994 Hip Hop special and so I used some of it the following week. Whereas DJ Yoda's 1994 mix was a trip through all of 1994, including Wu Tang, Biggie, Nas, Ace Of Base and Haddaway, DJ BobaFatt produced a pure Hip Hop mix…
DJ Yoda’s 1994 Guest Mix
6Music recently celebrated 1994 as part of the BBC's My Generation season. For Huey's show we did a bit of 1994 hip hop special. We played plenty of hip hop and DJ BobaFatt did a great job in scratching up some new clips from the year. Also in the show I asked DJ Yoda to…
On Camp With Lotto-Soudal…
Lotto-Soudal are kind of the oldest team in the World Tour. I mean they're the oldest in the same way that Trigger's Broom is really old, despite having the brush and handle replaced several times. I think we've actually decided that Movistar is the proper oldest team in the World Tour but the Lotto bit…
Lunch With…..
Over at The Cycling Podcast we've just launched the first in an occasional series called Lunch With.... As the title suggests these episodes feature extended interviews recorded over an extended lunch. Basically we've combined Lionel Birnie's two favourite things, pro-cycling and good food and the result is a brilliant podcast. The first episode features Cannondale-Drapac's Head…
Licensed To Ill At 30
It was the 30th anniversary of The Beastie Boys 'Licensed To Ill' this week and so Huey Morgan and I paid tribute to it on his 6Music show. It was amazing how well the show went down with our audience, I think Daniel P Carter tweeted us at least 4 times to tell us how…
University of Salford
Pleased to be joining the team at The University of Salford to teach on their professional practice module. Been very impressed by both the students and the facilities and looking forward to doing more work at the University.
Above The Clouds Episode 2.
I done another episode. Only 9 months late but so what? I've now moved house, I live up on the edge of the peak district now, and I've got a nice space with a lot of time on my hands. Ideal circumstances to find the time and space to get back to doing the show.…
