Talking Over You

The Sturm sisters got down to business this week by going to the bank, and not surprisingly, hilarity ensued (at least for them). Sarah has also been taking full advantage of the off-season by getting back into mountain biking, and the results have been alarming enough that she’s pretty sure she needs glasses. Hannah has some book recommendations, a very NSFW Facebook Marketplace find, and some harsh feedback regarding Sarah’s recent appearance on a different podcast. 

In more serious territory, they discuss contract season, especially the grey area around female pros who become pregnant while on WorldTour teams and as privateers. Shoutout to bowling, the guy at the bank, functional sports bras, Sarah’s nail tech, and saying LOL.

The Sturm sisters are back together in the studio this week and they have a lot to talk about. First up is the 2026 Life Time Grand Prix roster, which was announced last week and which, to Hannah’s shock, included Sarah. When the announcement came down, Sarah was in Mexico City getting a tattoo and had no idea if she’d made the list. Then, they talk about the importance of taking breaks, even from your favorite hobbies. Hannah’s relationship with tattooing is evolving, and it’s got both Sturms feeling philosophical. Lastly, Sarah talks about going to a lucha libre match in Mexico City. She bought a mask for the occasion, which it turns out is a little more than Hannah can handle.

Sarah is in Mexico City this week at yet another wedding and has had a blissfully bike-free few days. Hannah, meanwhile, has gotten back into running thanks to all that New York City Marathon talk last week. In this episode, the Sturm sisters chat about Sarah’s experience in her new favorite city, her time in the baby PeaceCorps in high school, and Hannah’s re-entry into running. Then, they dive deep into the challenges of being a female pro athlete in your mid-30s, including the decision about when or whether to have children, the pressures of diet culture, and the increasingly younger crop of new racers. Last but not least, Sarah has a theory about plane farting that ties into the conversation about the Cart Narc way back in episode two.

Both Sarah and Hannah were busy attending weddings last week and they returned with stories to tell, including one that involves multiple instances of outdoor nudity. Hannah’s trip contained both packrafting and a day in Vegas, while Sarah’s involved a plane companion so unpleasant that it ruined her anniversary. Later, they discuss pet wrangling, Gravel Burn, and Sarah’s mysterious rash, but mostly, they just want to spread un-fact-checked thoughts on the New York City Marathon.

It’s Halloween week, and you better believe that the Sturm sisters have dressed accordingly. Sarah is settling into her off-season, Hannah is headed to Vegas, and they’re both still a little prickly about a scheduling conflict they had to sort out before sitting down to record. They reminisce over some of their favourite Halloween costumes, discuss the big changes coming to the Life Time Grand Prix in 2026, and contemplate various gender inequities in the sport. Tangents include sex dungeons, lobster, and football season.

This week, the Sturm sisters welcome their first guest, Sarah’s mechanic/husband, Dylan Stucki. He’s here to tell everyone exactly how difficult Sarah is to live and work with, and Hannah is here to make sure he doesn’t skimp on details. He also provides a peak behind the scenes on what it’s like to be the support crew during elite races. But first, Sarah recaps Big Sugar, her final race of the season, which was cut from 100 miles to 50 miles due to weather. More importantly, though, she talks about the Gravel Rave that came after. Plus, Hannah shares a story about one of her favorite customers.

The Sturms are back in the studio this week and have a lot to catch up on. Hannah went to Albuquerque and got a dulcimer update, Sarah flew business class back to the US from Spain, and both of them are feeling reflective about the career paths they could have taken in an alternate life. In the realm of bikes, they get in way over their heads trying to explain (and define) chain waxing, from crock pots and Vegas to a word that neither of them can pronounce. Then, they dig into all the cycling drama that happened last week, including upsets at the Ironman World Championship, carnage at Little Sugar, a quibble with wardrobe at the final XCO World Cup of the season, and some serious Dutch drama at the Gravel World Championships.

Sarah is still in Spain, but instead of lining up for her own race this week, she was busy chasing Alex Roszko up and down mountains (on foot, no less) trying to get the perfect shot of Dylan during his enduro race. Hannah is gearing up for a trip to Albuquerque but was, unfortunately, home long enough to have a toe-curlingly awkward conversation with her doctor while getting her blood drawn. The sisters sat down to hash out their weeks, discuss the latest world championships in cycling, and do their best to properly identify one of the most common terms in the sport. Spoiler alert: They fail.

Sarah is finally racing again, and her latest event was a big one — Ranxo Gravel in Spain, the final round of the Gravel Earth Series. Meanwhile, Hannah has been busy dealing with business stuff, reading memoirs, and making her own hair gel. They sit down this week to recap Sarah’s race, including her time in Spain, her unsuccessful efforts at speaking the local language, and what she’s learned about how not to look like an American while in Europe. Then, Hannah tries to explain some sign language slang, convince Sarah that the hair gel she made definitely isn’t what you think it is, and reminisce over how she and her partner fell in love via inReach messages.

Sarah has finally recovered from her illness, which can only mean one thing: shoutouts are back in full force. She and Hannah discuss everything from bear-proof trash cans to Beanie Babies this week, and somehow manage to find the time to talk about the revelatory factoid Levi Leipheimer once shared with Sarah (about peeing, of course). Mostly, though, they’re focused on cycling outfits, the etiquette of group rides, and who various pro cyclists would be if they were American Girl Dolls.
