Wayfarer News
Jamal and Chris pledge to stay current on all on platforms Niantic post on and contently scan the community forums to bring the listeners the latest news and interesting discussion points.
Wayspot of the Week
Each week we will highlight a nomination from one of our listeners or even one of our personal submissions. We will analyze the main and supplemental pictures as well as the description and supporting info. Then we will take a deep dive into if it is a good nomination and how many stars we would rate it.
Coal of the Week
You could call this the Hall of Shame. Each week we are going to find the one submission that made us laugh or flat out surprised us. Coal is defined within the Wayfarer community as “a Submission that would earn you a lump of coal in your stocking”, such as a POI nomination on K-12 property or a random light pole in a residential neighborhood.
Our Goals
Our goal is to bring the world informative and entertaining content which will help Trainers, Agents, former Wizards, Pikmin Bloomers and especially Wayfinders explore their areas for more Points of Interest to add to all of the Niantic Gameboards!
Dad Jokes
Make sure to stay tuned to the end of every episode to hear Jamal’s newest Dad Joke and to hear Glaw's reaction to it.
