The Water Ski Podcast

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Water Ski Podcast. Originally recorded on February 9th, 2023, this is an interview with Fedele Luzzeri, my father. After an initial attempt of recording this in April 2022, we decided to give it another go in 2023. The challenges of translating the subtitles to English in order for skiers around the world to enjoy was marginally made easier by AI. The rest was just multiple listens and work. Dad's story into water skiing mostly follows a chronological order that listeners of The Water Ski Podcast are accustomed with, starting with the usual "How did you get into water skiing?" question. I hope you all enjoy as much as dad and I had a good time recording this. _________________________ This episode originally premiered live on YouTube on December 15th, 2023. If your podcast provider does not show video with English subtitles, you can head over on YouTube and watch there.

Hi everyone, EP100: Ski Talk with DadI will be coaching at Thayang Ski

Welcome to the one before last episode of The Water Ski Podcast. In this episode I announce the termination of this long standing project after EP100, which is scheduled to be released on May 18th, 2023. This episode was recorded in February and it will feature Fedele Luzzeri, my dad. Given that dad does not speak English, we recorded video and it will be subtitled. Audio and video will be also published on podcast, but some platform may not show the video. Therefore, the easiest way to watch this final episode is through the YouTube channel. I'd suggest to subscribe in order to receive the notifications of when the episode will premiere. As I said in the episode, this was a great experience. Thank you to all the listeners, guests, supporters, sponsors, and everyone whom I got to meet and talk to thanks to TWSP. Ski Hard! Luzz
