  • The only Podcast I care about.

    As someone who never had Eurosport during the prime days of Jack and Whit. I came in as a fan of BSB in recent times while still knowing the icons that were Jack Burnicle and James Whitham. I personally love it. To me motorcycle racing has a family feel that f1 misses. It’s such a great thing to listen to and feel educated ahead of each meeting.
