About this listen

Feel the rhythm. Feel the rhyme. Get on up, its podcast time...


Hi guys! Which discipline are you enjoying the most at the 2026 Winter Olympics so far?


Is it Rich travelling around recreating the Little Chef 'Olympic Breakfast' in a roadside layby OR is it Fazz pressing his unprotected face against a well used ice track to sup cheap flavoured vodka?


If the answer is any of the above then the first 10 minutes of this is the podcast for you! After grinding through this (barely related) Winter Sports introduction we land, three full 360-degree rotations later, squarely at the feet of 1080 Snowboarding (1998, N64) & its VR spiritual successor Carve Snowboarding (2021, Meta Quest 3S).


Find out what these two video games have in common and why there's room for both in your backlog (and your front room!)


Finally, we round things off with a solitary trip to the snowy summit of Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders (2025, Xbox Game Pass). Back in 2019 Lonely Mountains: Downhill was a breath of fresh air from developers Megagon Games so why does Fazz feel Snow Riders fails to hit those same peaks this time out?


Enjoy the podcast.
