Emergency pod: The demise of GCN+ and the GCN app

We have thoughts. We have emotions. We're a bit angry, to be honest.

News dropped on Wednesday that GCN+ and the GCN app will be shuttered in December. Over 100 people lost their jobs, according to our sources inside GCN, and the high water mark of quality cycling coverage on TV is now very likely behind us.

We have thoughts. We have emotions. We’re a bit angry, to be honest, even if we’re not really surprised. In this episode, we bring you reporting from the inside, plus our analysis of where cycling TV coverage goes from here.

Caley Fretz, Joe Lindsey, and Cosmo Catalano got together to talk through it. Listen below or on your pod app of choice, just search Escape Collective.

You can listen to all the Escape podcasts (Placeholders, Geek Warning, Wheel Talk, and Pretty Serious Bike Racing) over on the Escape Collective podcast network.
