The podcast has received several awards and nominations, including being given best podcast at the 2016 Cycling Media Awards,[8] and receiving a bronze medal in sports podcast category at the British Podcast Awards in 2018[9] and, for the Cycling Podcast Feminin spin-off (also co-hosted by Moore) in 2019.[10] As part of a collective of contributors to The Cycling Podcast, Moore is coauthor of two further books published in 2018 and 2019.
