I don't think wearisome or especially metaphysical.
Resonance FM is experimental in the sense that it does things that no radio station would ever do or has ever done. Sometimes those things work, sometimes they don't. It makes it a bit unpredictable, hit and miss... experimental even.
And transcendental pleasure of bicycling, in the sense of "relating to a spiritual or nonphysical realm" is the closest I can get to what I am aiming for in making the show. It's not a show about how cycling is cheaper, more practical, faster, healthier, greener, more thrilling than other modes of tranport, though it does touch on all those things. Rather it tries to convey and celebrate the core and universal experiential quality of being self propelled on two wheels. I couldn't think of a more succint word than transcendental.
If that still sounds like metaphysical bullshit, maybe you could write me some better copy?
