  • I Peaked

    Ive listened to this podcast for years, and I still managed to say “Sean Heckman?!” when I saw Ryan Eversley on a trip through ATL airport. I still cringe. You still gave me a selfie moment. Best moment of my life.

  • An essential canon of racing history

    This show is extremely entertaining, but it’s also definitive. It’s the best interviews on record of the greatest figures in what is, from our time, the “modern era” of racing. But someday, this era will be the history of racing, and the motorsports fans of that time will be lucky to have Dinner with Racers.

  • Great show. But of a sell out

    If you get past the 3-4 minute intros it's great content
