  35 - The Next Episode

  Oct 4, 20261h 1mS1

  500 Cats is back! This time, from Kona. We catch up on a summer of event chaos and ask a surprisingly difficult question: What does BCC actually do? So we enlist Ryan Lobato, Kenny Withrow, and Bob Babbitt to help figure it out. Bob responds by taking us on an unexpected and excellent trip through the history of triathlon. Turns out, nobody really knows what we do. But apparently we’re pretty good at it. Thanks for tuning in to 500 Cats!

  Episode #34

  34 - Back by Unpopular Demand

  Jun 19, 20261h 5mS1

  After a six-month hiatus, the 500 Cats crew is back in the studio! It turns out all it took to get us rolling again was a handful of people at IRONMAN 70.3 Boulder demanding to know where we went. In this episode, we look back at a wild, jam-packed production season. We break down the logistical chaos of live broadcasting Sea Otter, racing between two major events separated by only 48 hours, and debuting the brand-new LiveU LU900 backpacks at the IRONMAN North American Championship in Texas. We also recount the absolute epic that was Life Time Grand Prix Unbound in Emporia, Kansas—where a peloton exploded into "peanut butter mud," the heli captured pure athletic sacrifice, and a massive storm forced us to rely entirely on battery power to keep streaming the age-group finish line.

  <p>In Episode 32, we kick things off with a recap of the Louisville Turkey Trot, where the team volunteered and filmed to support the Community Food Share.

  <p>When live event professionals try to leave the country and the airlines say, “Absolutely not.” <br/><br/>In this episode of 500 Cats, Dave and Marcus attempt to fly to Qatar for the Samla 200, only to have their flight canceled on the train to the gate and rebooked into a 42-hour, five-airport hostage situation. Meanwhile, we still have bags that are emotionally recovering from a previous trip to Spain, where $2,000 in luggage fees bought them a 10-day delay and some very unintentionally “just-in-time” broadcast gear.</p><p>Along the way they roast out-of-office auto-responders (again), relive the chaos and glory of IRONM...
