Description
Hannah and Sarah Sturm grew up in the same household, live in neighboring towns, and hang out all the time. But in one respect, they couldn’t be more different: Sarah is a professional cyclist while Hannah has spent most of her life successfully avoiding bikes at all costs. They both know that Sarah has a weird job, and Hannah isn’t afraid to ask the sorts of questions that most people in the bike world would be too embarrassed to ask. Why is there a Queen Stage but not a King Stage? How old is gravel racing? Does everyone pee in their chamois? And most importantly, why on earth would anyone choose this as a job? Join the Sturm sisters every week to hear them laugh about their vastly different careers, argue about their shared memories, and drop unfiltered takes on just about everything.

Sarah and Hannah are back from Mid South after a very stressful return journey that ended in free ice cream. Sarah has some grievances to air and also some pregnancy purchases to discuss, while Hannah has a theory that connects gravel to the Netflix period romance ‘Bridgerton.’ A lot has been going on in the bike world lately, so they catch up on the nail-biter of Milan-San Remo and the drama at this year’s Cape Epic. Plus, they dive into the renewed controversy surrounding race coverage and ...
While at Mid South, Sarah and Hannah caught up with four pros after their races (including the winners of the men’s and women’s fields) to ask them questions about their flaws, their earrings, their pronunciation of female anatomy, and washing dishes. They also ask them about how the race played out. Instagram: @talking.over.you TikTok: @talking.over.you.podcast
It might have been Hannah’s nightmare, but it turns out that recording a live podcast (at a bike race, no less) can actually be extremely fun. The Sturms sat down in front of a live audience in Stillwater, Oklahoma, over the weekend to talk about being at Mid South, how Sarah’s pregnancy will affect her future in the Grand Prix, and why she thinks she’s turning into Kim Kardashian. They also answer audience questions about their not-so-solid sisterly bond and what it was like recording their ...
It’s finally time for Sarah to explain why she’s been lying to everyone for approximately four and a half months. This week on the show, she shares the news that only some of her friends guessed (the rest thought she was quitting cycling), and discusses how it will impact her career this season, how manatees might play a role, and her new appreciation for ebikes. Plus, Hannah manages to get a word in to recommend a new novel about trad wives. Shout out to TrainingPeaks for sponsoring th...
The Sturms are back behind the mic after their winter hiatus and have finally enlisted the help of an actual runner to discuss the ins and outs of a sport they know nothing about. Abby Hall is one of the top ultra-runners in the world, having won Western States last year and placed second at UTMB Mont Blanc/CCC several years earlier. Abby joins Sarah and Hannah to talk about everything from pacers and training hours to golden tickets, pooping, and feet. Follow Abby on Instagram @abby.k....
It’s been a big week in the sporting world. There was a football game at a Bad Bunny concert, Lindsey Vonn’s highly anticipated Olympic comeback was cut short after a horrific crash, and Girona is abuzz with angsty gravel pros getting ready for their first race of the season. The Sturms discuss all of this, including what they learned about football on Sunday, which states are actually in New England, and why the Super Bowl commercials were so bad this year. On a more serious note, they talk ...
There isn’t much going on in the world of bikes this week, so Sarah and Hannah are left to their own devices to incorporate sports into the episode. Luckily, the Winter Olympics are about to kick off, though there is some confusion about when the torch was lit, where it’s been, and how you pronounce Ancient Greece. Sarah has a handful of athletes she’s looking forward to watching and even managed to write some of them down. Hannah has been thinking a lot about peeing lately, ever since that r...
This week, the Sturms are discussing how teams might affect gravel racing, but their analysis has a lot more to do with mermaids and Martha Washington than actual cycling tactics. Hannah has a mind-blowing fact about male anatomy to share (with Dylan on hand to verify), and they have a moment of truth regarding a claim Sarah made about herself on a previous episode.

The Sturms are traveling this week, and luckily, that means that they can be joined by their friend Dani. She talks about meeting Sarah while racing cyclocross in the 2010s and her decision to step away from the professional side of the sport to pursue her non-cycling-related career. She also brings along one of her pet snakes. But first, Sarah and Hannah talk about trail etiquette, the Palm Springs airport, and Life Time’s decision to ban drop bars at Leadville. Shoutout to Easy Coffee Roast...
This week on the show, the Sturms are diving headfirst into the bike world again with the latest edition of techy talky. This time, they’re talking tires, which will either ruin them or reveal a surprising amount of knowledge. With only a few detours into the realms of F1, hockey smut, and thread counts, they manage to impart quite a bit of bike-related information. Dylan shows up a little late in the game for some fact-checking, but who needs it when Hannah turns out to be something of a gen...
This week on the show, the Sturms are talking about scheduling, namely the stressful yet necessary task of sifting through all the competing gravel events in the U.S. and abroad and choosing which to prioritise. They have some questions about names, whether Hannah is ready to be a spectator at some of the largest races, and if Sarah can do an Australian accent (she cannot). Then, they discuss the even more urgent topic of fast food. Which burger and soft drink combo tastes the best afte...
As the year draws to a close, the Sturm sisters are in very different headspaces. Hannah is all-in on reflecting on 2025 and looking ahead to the possibilities of the New Year, while Sarah is still pissed off that it rained on Christmas. She’s also pretty sure that 2025 was a failure for her on most fronts. In this episode, they pick through the wreckage of the past 12 months, argue over whether it’s more motivating to believe in yourself or fear failure, and answer a listener's question abou...
It’s festive season, and while many of us might be celebrating Christmas or Hanukkah, Hannah was gathered around a fire with 40 other people singing very earnestly about the solstice. Sarah has been thinking about venison, Alex Honnold, and a high-profile retirement from a young cyclist. Later, both sisters answer listener questions about sock length, zones, books, snacks, and crit racing. Shout out to RoadiD for sponsoring this episode.

Sarah and Hannah are on their own again this week and they’re feeling nostalgic about the time Hannah ate dog food as a kid and that one year when they got laundry baskets for Hanukkah. Sarah also had a birthday this week which brings up some old grievances about being a December baby. Plus, they talk about the Tetris game of finding and maintaining sponsors as a gravel privateer.

When Iz King found out she was pregnant a year ago, she was in the middle of contract negotiations for another season as a pro gravel privateer. Throughout her pregnancy and the birth of her now three-month-old daughter, she navigated the opportunities and challenges posed by being one of the first prominent athletes in this niche of the sport to go through the experience. Iz joins Sarah and Hannah to share some real talk about what this past year has been like, from deciding when to te...
The day after Thanksgiving, Sarah and Hannah sat down with their mom, Margie (you might know her from the Spotify comments section), to set the record straight on various points of sibling rivalry, ask questions about her life as an artist and teacher, and talk over each other. Hannah is hormonal, Sarah is unpacking some rage issues, and Margie has an unconventional way of telling stories. Shout out to Road iD for sponsoring this episode.

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 te...
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 Sturm...
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 abo...
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. Use co...
