Episode 25 of Zwiftcast has been released. Here’s the full episode description:
This episode is devoted entirely to a conversation with Zwift creator and co-founder of the company, Jon Mayfield.
Patient listeners will be rewarded with some nuggets of news towards the end of the interview. But the real meat of the conversation is about Jon the man, the programmer and the visionary. There’s also plenty of insight into how he and his team work, with some questions which the community repeatedly asks tackled and answered by Jon.
The conversation is very wide ranging, looking at potential futures for Zwift as well as Jon’s thoughts on racing; on real world courses; on the community; on the Zwift public roadmap (or lack therof!) the ability to change worlds; voice communications; a velodrome, or not; and yes, facial hair.
Excellent podcast. Interesting about the HUD and people asking for average power to be displayed. I would have thought the most requested thing to add to the HUD would be watts / kg. Many group rides / races you need to monitor your w/kg. It’s in the right hand column but very hard to see.
So, beards are in, velodrome is years away (boo), race privatization is in, pretty much everything else is either a no comment or wait and see. A bit disappointing I’m sad to say, that many feel shut out of the ‘what’s coming’ secrets. I can’t believe that anybody really would care if their avatar has a beard or mustache. Is that really a guy thing that I just don’t get? I didn’t understand, are we going to level 50?
