Zwiftcast Episode 62

March 28, 2019

LAST UPDATED April 22, 2019

Simon, Shane and Nathan convene to discuss all the latest on Zwift.

Shane and Nathan give us a readout on the mood music coming from the big Zwift Week staff convention in Long Beach, then the Zwiftcasters move on to discuss the eagerly-awaited new feature for Group Rides which is being called The Fence. Is this farewell to flyers?

Next the podcasters move on to discuss the usefulness, or otherwise, of videos posted on YouTube giving encyclopaedic guides for how to cheat on Zwift. A cheats’ charter, or a useful contribution to the discussion around an increasingly important issue, as e-sports gets bigger and bigger?

Finally the trio move on to give their verdicts on the KISS SuperLeague as the men’s competition wraps up and the women’s contest enters its final stages. What have we learned? What could be improved?

We hope you enjoy listening.

Simon Schofield

Simon used to live in Yorkshire, but now he spends much of his time in the cycling paradise of Girona and the surrounding area, in Catalonia, Spain. In a previous life he was a journalist and TV producer, spending a career both in front of, but much longer behind, a camera and a microphone. After signing up as User No 10 at Zwift, Simon conjured up the first ever video review of the upstart new platform and later wondered if there was enough going on in Watopia to interest an audience. One hundred episodes and 1.2 million podcast downloads later, he had an answer. Now a little longer in the tooth and stiffer of limb than he used to be, Simon is still pretty much at his happiest in the saddle.
