Can you describe in a sentence or two what he has been doing? That 2-hour podcast is quite the commitment.

Having just listened to it seemingly being proud[1] and coming across as completely unrepentant. The podcast only reenforced my view that Armstrong should not be given any form of celebrity or space on any platform. He needs to just go away.

1. "More than anything I'm just really proud...proud I didn't quit...with no support or anything."

In this context he was (1) asked about what he thinks his legacy will be and has mentioned that it would have been different if you asked in 2013, and (2) is talking about being proud of his achievements/choices after his professional cycling career ended, during a period when he was sort of universally reviled by many people. So I can sort of understand why he says "no support." And "quit" in this context might mean "suicide," for what it's worth.

Can you give a rough timestamp for that quote to establish some context?

It sounds like he mostly just rides mountain bikes around his hometown somewhere in Colorado and occasionally does a chat with cancer patients who are interested in that.

Aspen. He splits his time between Austin and Aspen. Not a bad existence if you can get it. His hometown is Plano.
