32. Channel 4's Krishnan Guru-Murthy on cycling, the media and fake news

Krishnan Guru-Murthy is best known for holding to account everyone from Hollywood A-listers to senior cabinet ministers during his day job as one of Channel 4's news presenters. However what you may not know is that Krishnan is also a road cyclist which gave us a great excuse to get him on the pod.

James and Joe sat down with Krishnan to talk about how he got into cycling, his annual London-Paris charity ride, riding a bike in London and this year's Duchenne Dash event at Goodwood motor circuit.

There's also plenty of non-cycling related chat about Quentin Tarantino, Jon Snow, Jeremy Corbyn, the current threats faced by the media and the rise of fake news.

Here is the clip of Krishnan interviewing Tarantino - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrsJDy8VjZk

For more information on the Duchenne Dash taking place on Saturday 3rd July, see here.
