In a worried world, Simon, Shane, and Nathan try to look at the positives whilst recognising some of the serious matters facing Zwifters.
Episode 79 marks the first of the weekly episodes during the virus crisis.
Simon kicks off with a Zwiftcast plea to HQ – let’s turn the Unemployed Badge into a Work From Home Badge… it just seems kinda better right now.
The podcasters move on to discuss the remarkable figures in the game as new Zwifters pour onto the platform in huge numbers. Simon is confident of victory in the Zwiftcast’s Peak Zwift Guessing Game.
But could a limiting factor end up being a trainer shortage? There are signs it may happen although an update from Elite on the unprecedented measures they’ve taken to ensure supply provides some hope for those keen to get their hands on a smart trainer.
The chaps discuss and dismiss the several calls for Zwift to be made free – and Dick, if you’re listening… we don’t mean to be mean!
In a packed episode Simon talks to a Dad and Lad team who’ve been on Zwift for years – and looks at how the company is dealing with another huge influx, the number of kids getting signed up under the company’s excellent Kids Go Free scheme as parents look for healthy diversions in the home.
Simon, Shane and Nathan take a look at the news that Zwift has undergone a management re-organisation, with layoffs, and what that may mean for Zwifters.
There’s also a feature on Group Meetups – part of the game which has come into very sharp focus in the crisis… with lots of advice to HQ on how it may be tweaked.
And finally, the podcasters seem to have gone challenge crazy – listen to find out who has now challenged who to what!
We hope you enjoy listening and we hope you stay safe.
