The FredCast
The FredCast is a weekly podcast covering bicycling news, gear, gadgets, gizmos, components, podsafe cycling music and more.[1] The FredCast began in December 2005, and has grown into one of the most popular cycling-related podcasts on the Internet.[2]
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, 2007, and 2010, The FredCast was nominated for a Podcast Award and was also a finalist for a Podcast Peers Awards.[3][dead link] The show received the Utah Social Media Club's People's Choice Award at the 2009 Utah Social Media Awards.[4]
The podcast is hosted by David Bernstein,[1] an avid road cyclist and former bicycle industry executive.
In 2007, Bernstein was able to retain the rights to the name The FredCast after it was used for Fred Thompson's presidential campaign.[1]
