4.8 out of 5 stars from 377 ratings
  • Was great until the paywall.

    Podcasts are suppose to be FREE TO LISTEN TO. It’s not our fault you are clearly awful at getting sponsors. Putting this behind the paywall is pathetic and shows EXACTLY how much The Race truly cares about their fans. THEY DONT. Absolute garbage from everyone involved. Jack you should be ashamed of yourself.
