Sometimes, Mitski feels life would be easier without hope, or a soul, or love. But when she closes her eyes and thinks about what’s truly hers, what can’t be repossessed or demolished, she sees love. “The best thing I ever did in my life was to love people,” she says. “I wish I could leave behind all the love I have after I die, so I can shine all this goodness, all this good love that I’ve created onto other people.” She hopes her newest album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, will shine love long after she’s gone. That’s precisely how it feels: like a love that’s haunting the land.

“This is my most American album,” she says. The music feels like a profound act of witnessing this country, in all of its private sorrows and painful contradictions. Sonically Mitski’s most epic and wise album, the songs introduce wounds and then actively heal them. Here, love is time-traveling to bless our tender days, like light from a distant star.

It's full of the ache of the grown-up, seemingly mundane heartbreaks and joys that are often unsung but feel enormous. It’s a tiny epic. From the bottom of a glass, to a driveway slushy with memory and snow, to a freight train barreling through the Midwest, and all the way to the moon, it feels like everything and everyone is crying out in pain, arching towards love. Love is that inhospitable land, beckoning and then rejecting us. To love this place, this earth, this America, this body takes work. It might be impossible. The best things are.

Welcome to King of the Ride podcast host hosted by yours truly, Ted King. A former World Tour cyclist, I competed at the world's highest level of the sport for a decade, retiring from conventional road racing in 2015. Returning home to the USA I was unexpectedly swept up by the then fledgeling and now burgeoning gravel scene. I've taken the top step at Dirty Kanza twice and have finished on the podium in virtually every "big" gravel race out there, but more than anything it's been the gravel community that has struck a chord with me. The community is alive and I freaking love it! 

I a co-founded UnTapped, the maple syrup based sports nutrition company. I work with the sport's best brands, I lead rides, host camps, dabble in gravel, and just love life on two wheels. I now have the chance to chat with athletes, entrepreneurs, and all walks-of-life who love the bicycle. Hop on board and please enjoy the ride!
