  • Two Mates & A Galah

    This is the podcast you didn’t know you needed in your life. It’s like catching up with mates over a beer and telling tall stories, while playing where in the world is Carmen Sandiago.

    If you’re looking for superior audio and production quality this is not for you but if you want to find out What’s Next, where in the world is Paultteri or what it’s like to live your life bouncing round the world this is for you.

    Having lived part of my life bouncing around the world this much, it feels all so ... more

    Feels like eavesdropping on a coffee chat between two good friends in the best possible way. One of the highlights of my week!

  • Slowing down in a fast paced time

    We treasure these fait divers talks on our way to work. It transports us out of busy traffic right into the cosy couch next to Valtteri & Paul. Travelling and working together as well, we connected from the first episode. No F1 talk? Perfect, as fans we are already in the loop. Talks about galahs, dry saunas & Coopers? Kiitos, danke shön.

Q: Are you excited?
I kind of forgot about this thing at testing. I was all excited. I'm still excited. I'm a race driver, but yeah, like you said, even before I haven't been even on the track on Thursday, I've done five sponsor events.
