May 06, 2023 Barber Baby! 100 Days to Indy Recap and a Shout Out to the Man Upstairs(?)
The IndyCar Triple P stays strong this week with another great ranking from the Barber race. There is 100% favoritism this week but it's deserved. Rachel does a number of questionable accents and American stereotypes throughout the entirety of the episode. After the Barber recap, the gals dig into the first episode of 100 Days to Indy and discuss all things Josef Newgarden (only kind of). We compare 100 Days to Indy to Drive to Survive and how F1 fans might find the show, and how Kate always cries while watching sports documentaries.
Rachel's episode pun count: 3

April 29, 2023 Formula One IndyCar Team Comparisons
This week, we compared F1 and IndyCar teams to try and draw similarities and give comparisons for F1 fans looking to get into IndyCar (or vice versa)! We shout out some special listeners and supporters in the beginning - very big thanks to all y'all who are listening and following us on socials (@paddockpundits on all platforms). We try to give a brief history on the teams before we get completely sidetracked talking about tractors, clutch pedals, and a confusing notes Rachel leaves in the agenda. Rachel uses this episode as a soapbox for Scott Dixon being the GOAT. We're super excited for Barber tomorrow after Baku, so take a nap between races and tune in tomorrow for the IndyCar race!

April 22, 2023 IndyCar Long Beach and the Triple P Crown
"It's student-podcaster, not podcaster-student." We're sorry for the delay in uploading, it's been a crazy exam week and we appreciate all our new support and patience. We've got another IndyCar episode for y'all with a triple p dance mom's drivers pyramid. We talk push to pass strategies that played out in the top 5, and what our victory lap song would be after the iconic NBC soundtracks that play during the races. We're also continuing to push big radio's agenda (we just love listening to the race like farmers sitting out on the porch watching the storm roll in). We also look back at our astrology predictions to see which ones played out, and where the stars were wrong.

April 13, 2023 Everything's Bigger in Texas & Looking Long (Beach)
It's our first full IndyCar episode! We (Rachel and Kate) have a full debrief for the chaos that was the Texas PPG 375. Because it was a weekend of chaos in IndyCar, F1, and our lives, Rachel describes the beauty of listening to an IndyCar race on the radio, old school. We also have our first IndyCar Dance Moms Pyramid, and the results are shocking. After the pyramid, we dig into the grid astrology for the upcoming race at Long Beach and what the stars tell us to expect, but we spend most of the episode fangirling over our Pisces king Will Power.

April 08, 2023 F1 Australian GP Debrief: Getting Down Down Under
Kate and Rachel dig into the Australian GP and also their weekend experiences trying to watch/hear the race. We highlight Valtteri's Aboriginal helmet design and Oscar Piastri's grandma. The time difference was hard on us and we forget most of the reasoning for the Dance Moms Driver Scores, but stand by the sleep-deprived decisions. Astrology tell-all for the Alliterative Alex Albon's Aries placement and our uncanny ability to find out who is a leo in a room full of people.
Follow to listen to next week's episode: our first full IndyCar Debrief! Texas was too action-packed to be its own segment, and we're excited to unpack it and get into IndyCar driver astrology before Long Beach on the 16th!

March 30, 2023 Formula One vs. IndyCar: More Similar Than You'd Think?
This week is a special treat from the Pacific Northwest: Rachel flies solo (literally and figuratively). The pp gals got split up this week, and Rachel was on the pod research grind at the airport, leading to this episode. She tackles the differences between Formula One and IndyCar, breaking some ideas down for those more familiar with F1. She talks points, ovals, location, and then gets even more boring with aerodynamics, fueling, and push to pass vs. DRS. In true American fashion, she forgets other metric systems exist.

March 24, 2023 Saudi Arabian GP Debrief & Reconnecting with Bae
This week, Kate and Rachel debrief on the Saudi GP from Sunday. We draw parallels between Max Verstappen's drive and Cocaine Bear and theorize on Sergio Perez entering his Black Swan era in our driver's dance mom pyramid. We look at driver horoscopes from the weekend (with new approval from astrology-believer Mick Schumacher), including how Lewis can rekindle connection with Mercedes and his car.

March 15, 2023 Origin Stories and IndyCar Hustling
This week, we get into how we met and got interested in F1 and IndyCar! Kate discloses her entire medical history and we talk about Lance Stroll’s toes (and other injuries). Rachel shares her family history hustling at the Indy 500 and Kate talks about reporting on F1 for Rachel while she went off-grid. We then get off topic and discuss some driver pros and cons. Most importantly, we talk about the significance of the narrative and the heart for fanbases.
