The Cuber in Focus: Recent Episodes
Chris Mills
In this episode, I talk about another Max Park WR (boringgggg), the rise of János Bereczki (and the "fall" of Ciarán Beahan), Fahmi Aulia Rachman's impressive return to competitions, and how my practice has been going for Euros (plus much, much more!). I also do some in-depth predictions for how I reckon the North American Championships will gonna play out!
In this episode, I talk about my new 3x3 National Record, Graham Siggins' incredible weekend of Multi-Blind, Brennen Lin's Sub 6 3x3 Average, and how I'm preparing for Euros (plus much, much more!). I also bring back the quiz with a brand new name, and this time, it's done in person with multiple contestants!
In this episode, I talk about my hate for hay-fever, a couple of recent WCA World Records (one of which includes some controversy :o), my continued ZBLL grind, and I tell the story of the Hungarian Embassy giving me a cake back in 2020 (plus much, much more!). I also answer some questions I received on my Instagram a few weeks back.
In this episode, I talk about Juliette Sébastien's One-Handed ER, the cancellation of the RedBull Rubik's Cube World Cup, and how I have jumped back on the ZBLL grind train (plus much, much more!). I also talk to Feliks Zemdegs and learn how he prepared for his biggest competitions and gain insightful advice on how to maximize your performance at high-pressure competitions.
In this episode, I talk about the flurry of Square-1 records and Matty Hiroto Inaba's tragic but promising 3x3 results at the Cubing USA Northeast Championship, my recent competition, and how I had my first shot at 3x3 NR average in over half a year. I also talk to competitors at my competition and ask them what they had for breakfast.
In this episode, I talk about Leo Borromeo's first competition since 2020, Max Siauw's 4.03 3x3 Single, and a massive competition in the US that takes up far too much time in my "news" segment (plus much, much more!). I also interview Tymon Kolasiński about the story building up to his 5.09 3x3 WR average, and what is coming up next in his speedcubing career.
In this episode, I talk about Brendyn Dunagan's rapid improvement, my short break from competing, what's slowing my improvement rate, and "fan" interactions at competitions (plus much, much more!). I also do a very serious quiz that leads to some interesting moments...

Sorry about Ciarán's bad mic at the start and my brother's drum and bass haha. Any ideas on who to have on next?
