Hosted by YouTubers and long-time bike friends Francis and Jimmi, along with producer Emily, each week we discuss the latest news from the cycling world, share our views on some controversial topics, revealing behind the scenes secrets from our YouTube channel – Cade Media – and throw it over to you, the listeners, to tell us what you really want to talk about when it comes to bikes. We hope you enjoy! Get involved and send us your stuff to wildonespodcast@cademedia.co.uk <hr> Hosted on Acast.
