Listen "Antonin Pharel - Why IFSC Production SUCKS?!"
Episode Synopsis
Antonin is the graphics operator for the IFSC! In this episode, we’ll learn about why the IFSC chooses to use local production teams instead of their own production team and the difficulties that come with that, why graphics don’t show up sometimes, and we’ll hear about his thoughts on why the bouldering format is inherently broken for watching on TV.Guest links:Antonin’s InstagramReference links:Arco Rock MasterThank you Mad Rock for sponsoring this episode!
