The FredCast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The FredCast is a weekly Podcast devoted to the latest cycling news, gear, gadgets, gizmos, components, podsafe cycling music and more. The FredCast began in December, 2005, and has quickly grown into one of the most popular cycling-related podcasts on the internet.

The show is called The FredCast because it is aimed at so-called "Freds", or high-end cyclists who tend to spend a good deal of time and money on their equipment and training. According to the host, he takes the term as one of endearment.

In 2006 and 2007, The FredCast was nominated for a Podcast Award and was also a finalist for a Podcast Peers Awards. The FredCast was covered in a Glendale News-Press article about the award nominations.

The podcast is hosted by David Bernstein. David is an avid road cyclist, but he is also a former bicycle industry executive with experience in marketing, advertising, sales and manufacturing. David also volunteers his time with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, helping to organize the local MS150 Bike Ride.
