About the show

Wattage Cottage is the podcast for anyone serious about indoor cycling. Hosted by Dave Towle — the most recognizable voice in American cycling — the show brings together two of the most trusted names in the indoor cycling world for conversation that is equal parts informative, entertaining, and genuinely useful. Eric Schlange, founder of Zwift Insider and the internet's most relied-upon resource for all things Zwift, brings deep platform knowledge, route expertise, and the kind of data-driven insight that makes you a smarter, faster rider. Alongside him, Shane Miller — better known as GP Lama — is Australia's premier cycling tech reviewer, a self-described gear obsessive whose meticulous, no-nonsense equipment breakdowns have earned him a massive global following and a reputation as one of the most trusted voices in the business. Together, the three cover everything that matters in indoor cycling — training platforms, smart trainer technology, racing strategy, firmware updates, route optimization, and the constantly evolving world of virtual cycling. No fluff, no filler. Just honest, expert conversation from people who ride, test, and live this stuff every day. Whether you're a seasoned Zwift racer chasing a category upgrade, a data junkie building the perfect pain cave, or someone who just unboxed their first smart trainer and doesn't know where to start — Wattage Cottage meets you where you are and helps you go faster. New episodes monthly with bonus episodes as big news breaks....
