  • Why are there spoilers in the title?

    If I have not managed to watch the race live, it is very annoying to have tue title of a podcast spoil the result for me - seems unnecessary.

  • STOP ANNOUNCING THE RESULT IN THE TITLE

    I love this show and have followed it for over a decade now. This review is for the recent update which started including the result is added to the title. While I’d love to, I can’t watch each race live. This is how your regular subscribers will stop subscribing to your show.
