This week in proud partnership with Xpress Coffee, we’re joined by the brilliant Steve Parrish! 10 years after our first podcast together, we chat with Steve over a morning Xpress Coffee to look back at some of his career highlights, the lesser-known practical jokes, the Macau incident, his love for Scarborough’s Oliver’s Mount, the Goodwood revival weekend and much more! As you’d expect it’s a very entertaining chat with Stavros!

Enjoy!

This week we return to the scene of one of our most popular shows of the last 12 months (until Shakey came along and took top spot off him) we’re back up at Huddersfield International Airport with ever-popular James Whitham and his faithful Head of Security and Vermin Control, Captain Sprouticus the Jack Russell. In this episode we look back at the ’23 BSB season and ahead to WorldSBK and BSB for ’24 along with a couple of left field questions that we didn’t get to do last year because we hadn’t thought of them at that point!

Enjoy!

This week we’re joined by Eurosport pundit and former Grand Prix rider James Haydon! We take a look back at his racing career from his days racing 250s under the Team Great Britain banner, run by Ron Haslam, to making his 500cc Grand Prix debut, through British Superbikes, World Superbikes and back to Britain before Eurosport passed him a mic and said ‘here, talk into this’. James is a real gentleman, it was a pleasure to sit with him and I hope you enjoy the journey he takes us on.

At Ducati Preston's recent Open Day we sat down with Glenn to talk about that incredibly intense '23 Bennetts British Superbike season, his thoughts on his time at the Isle of Man TT, his love for the NW200 and his recently announced ride for '24 with the new PBM Racing Team.

Strap in, it's quite the journey!

Enjoy!

Following in their dad's footsteps was never going to be easy but after a winter of rebuilding, hard work and determination Jordan and her twin brother Frank Jnr recently launched their new PBM Racing Team. With the championship runner-up, Glenn Irwin, as their sole rider on his favoured Ducati Panigale, the team are ready for the challenge of contesting the 2024 Bennetts British Superbike Championship! It's an incredible story and one we hope you enjoy.

Motorcycle racing is a tough old sport... we hear plenty about the good times but very little about the not-so-good times, even though there are plenty! Lincolnshire twins Tim and Tom (and yes, just like the Lowes twins, I can actually tell them apart :-)) came late to the tarmac by modern standards after glittering careers in Flat Track racing. 2023 posed problems for both fellas with Tom in his second year at Honda Racing and Tim promoted to the factory-supported McAMS Yamaha squad. Was it too much too soon for both? I'll let them tell you. But on a more positive note, spending the weekend at the VR46 Ranch for the annual 100km Race with McPint as team manager was a phenomenal experience for them and it really made me happy to see the lads excited to tell the story - especially in a world where being openly unexcited about things is more the norm in the younger generation.

This week we’re joined by Crew Chief to Josh Brookes at FHO Racing, Mark Woodage. It was a rollercoaster season in 2023, early season wins in BSB didn’t translate to the championship challenge that rider or crew chief had hoped, while a return to road racing saw the NW200 curtailed before a return to the glorious Isle of Man TT races, the season rounded out with Josh making his Macau debut with Mark by his side. Both rider and crew chief continue again in 2024 and they’re ready for the challenge.

You’ll know Charlie well from his years doing the WorldSBK grid walk for Eurosport and more recently Moto2 free practice comms for TNT Sport. Charlie has a huge amount of experience in television production and understands our sport incredibly well and in this show not only tells the story of how he came to work in the three best racing series of MotoGP, WorldSBK and BSB, he also shares his views on WorldSBK, the lack of British riders in MotoGP, and the future of motorcycle racing tv broadcasts. It’s a genuinely fascinating chat!

Enjoy!

After a chance meeting in a Lincoln building society, Frankie Carchedi never looked back as he entered the world of motorcycle racing under the guidance of the great Colin Wright. Three BSB titles, multiple WorldSBK race wins, a MotoGP championship with Joan Mir and Suzuki before moving to Gresini Racing and helping Fabio di Giannantonio to his maiden MotoGP victory at Qatar last season. 2024 holds a different proposition for Frankie as 6-time MotoGP World Champion, Marc Marquez, joins the Gresini family under his watchful eye. This is Frankie's story and it's absolutely fascinating...

Finally, he's back! Fan favourite Michael Howarth joins us for a chat in the cafe at equine charity HAPPA just outside Burnley. There's something Howie wanted to say before we got into the racing side of things and it's an important listen, then we go head first into the world of British Superbikes as well as a dabble into WorldSBK (clearly missing one important ingredient after the recent tests!) and MotoGP. 

It's great to be back just talking bikes after a raft of interviews over the recent months.

Enjoy!
