Sky Sports News conduct countless amounts of live interviews with sportsmen/journalists/experts over the phone.

As for the podcast, I've given most of the ones you've reviewed a listen Owen but Real Peloton is the only one I would genuinely look forward to listening to. Very informative with a good level of banter.

Phone quality is perfectly acceptable and is used by every major news outlet when someone is not available via ISDN/Radio Car/Other remote facility "in quality". <br><br>He has either forgotten or ignores that up until the introduction of ISDN most live sports commentary was done via old-fashioned copper wire phone lines.<br><br>Or that a huge number of interviews broadcast on Radio networks internationally are done via mobile phone. I hear phone quality material every day and while it can be a bit harsh sometimes, properly recorded there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. <br><br>Sorry, but for me that excuse simply doesn't wash.

He has either forgotten or ignores that up until the introduction of ISDN most live sports commentary was done via old-fashioned copper wire phone lines.

Or that a huge number of interviews broadcast on Radio networks internationally are done via mobile phone. I hear phone quality material every day and while it can be a bit harsh sometimes, properly recorded there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Sorry, but for me that excuse simply doesn't wash.

He seems to be one of the most knowledgeable (and outrageously multi-lingual) cycling journos about as well as an all-round nice guy. He and Ned spark off each other very well and I, too, can ignore the dodgy editing when the content & entertainment value is this good. And they still remind me of cycling's answer to Derek & Clive!

Riding to work a driver overtook me, with one pair of wheels riding through the big pile of slush that gathers in the centre of a lane. Showered me head-to-toe, gunge tank style. Was absolutely hopping mad and chased him down to remonstrate, only to find the prick on his phone and performing a U-turn in heavy rush-hour traffic!!! GRRR!!!
