  • Please turn up the master volume!

    I haven’t listened in my car for many many episodes because the volume of your master is TOO LOW! I just started playing your latest, the Hungarian review, in the quiet of my house and I cannot hear it here anymore. Please TURN IT UP! Let people turn it down if they have to, but I now have your podcast (and ONLY yours) up to max and it is like you are in a library, trying not to disturb others. PLEASE. TURN IT UP!

  • Cool POV

    I love these guys! As an American, I fell in love with F1 and started listening to a bunch of the podcasts but no longer. All but one or 2 have fallen off my list and these guys are so interesting. Mostly stats and fact driven, (as opposed to gossip and chat) they know what they are talking about. Love listening to you!!
