VN Pod, ep. 192: Marina Zenovich on LANCE; Everesting 101

Published: May 27, 2020, 6:25 p.m.

b"On this week's podcast we interview producer/director Marina Zenovich on her new ESPN 30 for 30 documentary LANCE, which chronicles the rise and fall of Lance Armstrong. \\n\\nZenovich spent two years producing the film, and she interviewed Armstrong on eight different occasions. Yet the film is one of many films, books, and magazine articles written about Armstrong. Zenovich explains why, after the other media projects were done, she still felt compelled to produce a film on the disgraced champion. \\n\\nEveresting continues to be the buzzword in the U.S. cycling scene, with even more amateur and elite riders opting to ride 29,000 vertical feet on their bicycles. Senior Editor Betsy Welch joins the show to discuss the Everesting trend, the various different ways riders are choosing to Everest, and the strategies riders are following to record fastest times.\\n\\nThis week's episode is sponsored by Roll Massif, organizer of eight iconic cycling events in Colorado.
