The first note of Amaraterra are playing and we arleady know that we're going to enjoy the next 3 weeks, listening to your coverage of the Giro d’Italia. You have made a very strong start this year, almost Pogadcaresc, releasing 5 very good episodes within one week. As a listener, you also need to get ready and organized for these Grand Tour Podcasts, to find the time to listen to the daily episode; it’s not easy to keep up with the pace between the professional and other familly obligations. Sometimes you need to be ready to listen to 2 or 3 episodes on the same day to make up for missed shows.
I have found your episode on the the 1998 Giro very very good. Your 1998 Giro is probably my 1987 or 1989 Tour de France, and I agree that nothing can compare with the memories of these first sports events. Also because they belong to our childhood/teenage years, and we probably tend to romanticize them...
Although my love for cycling started with the 1987 TDF (that was btw almost as good as the 1989 edition), the Giro has always been my favorite race too. I think it started with the 1988 Giro and the epic Gavia stage. I remembered reading the articles about that stage in L’Equipe the following day and it was like reading an adventure or explorer story. Incredible. Since then I have developed a kind of passion for the Dolomites or Alpine stages of the Giro...
Many thanks again for the quality of your Podcast and let's enjoy this 2024 Giro.
Wondering what happened to the Stacy Snyder mugs- went on her Etsy site exactly at 10 am US Eastern and nothing.
