  • Almost good, but not quite sometimes. They should dual record.

    3 stars. Would’ve given 5 stars if KBH said yes to PEDs like that dude on The Move podcast. Slightly biased toward clean racing (which is boring imo) rather than focusing on praising the incredible Zwift performance’s of a generation.

  • Excellent fake bike racing talk

    Came for the witty banter, stayed for the imaginative things Kevin would be willing to put on a t-shirt.

  • Fun Pod about a Fun Pastime

    These guys breathe life into Zwift’s soulless avatars. They talk tactics, beefs, cheats, and The cone of shame. This pod won’t necessarily reveal anything new about Zwift, but it delivers on uncovering Zwift’s many nuances.
