In June 2020, The Cycling Europe Podcast dedicated the whole of episode 21 to the epic early 20th Century European cycle of the American Maximilian J. St. George.

Hi Andrew. An idea for a future podcast interview: following your interview with Timmy Mallet, did you know that he’s recently completed a coastal circumnavigation of the GB? May be worth seeing if he wants to chat about it. Also a selfish one, I love the story of Maximilian but (as I’m sure you know) his book is pretty impossible to lay hands on. With your book publishing skills and contacts, do you think a small print run project would be possible (if you could get permission). I’m sure it would be profitable? Keep up the excellent work.

Hi Phil. I’m sure I answered this! Did you also send me an email? Perhaps that’s it… Anyway, I might get back to Timmy about appearing again. He was fascinating at the Cycle Touring Festival. As for Max’s book, I’ll leave republishing it to others… 🙂
