The three amigos are back together for the first time in a few Eps to chew through all the latest Zwifty news, chat, and gossip… in an episode recorded as Nathan nervously kept an eye on a tornado headed towards his studio!
Simon, Shane, and Nathan kick off with a review of the first interview from Zwift’s newish in post Chief Product Officer, YC, before meeting the Zwifter who accomplished a magnificently mad ride of 100 miles standing up. Prominent Zwifter Chad Tavernia goes one better chatting with Simon, promising to repeat the feat inside. Good luck with that Chad!
The Zwiftcasters move on to discuss what can only really be described as a pretty chaotic game update in July – and Shane switches on rant mode.
Auto-categorisation is a solution to sandbagging in racing long advocated by many Zwifters and now, thanks to Martin Carew at WTRL Racing, a nascent system is being tested in earnest. Simon checks in with Martin for a progress report.
The Zwiftcasters round off Ep 99 with a chat on the latest tech, including Elite’s RIZER device and Zwift’s decision not to attend the upcoming Eurobike show.
With an off-piste diversion into Speed Walking plus a little bit of news for runners on the platform, the boys wrap it up for this one. We hope you enjoy listening.
The state of quality assurance at Zwift could certainly use some more in-depth coverage in the future. “All games have bugs” (which is indeed true for any piece of non-trivial software) is not good enough.
Podcast has devolved into too much boring chat and not enough relevant content.
