This week we’re flipping the TT Podcast on its head as host Steve Plater takes a seat on the other side of the table for his interview with Chris Pritchard.

The retired racer and presenter on the TT’s television coverage talks to Chris about the late start he got in the world of motorbike racing and how his competitive edge took a while to kick in.

The TT winner also tells some of his trademark stories including tales of how he got his first team position, the bicycle crash that stopped him from attending his first practice night at Scunthorpe speedway and a close call he faced during a practice ride of the mountain course, in a hire car, with his wife.

As a man who’s taken on many different disciplines in his time, Steve talks about what it was like taking on everything from endurance racing to superbike laps and why it took a while before he was ready to take on the TT.

Podcaster and racer Dom Herbertson returns to the TT Podcast this week for part two of his interview with Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater.

Alongside pressing Steve for tips on how to impress the big teams, Dom also chats with the former rider about what it’s like to have that competitive drive and how his crash at this year’s TT has helped him to appreciate the event even more.

The rider is also pushed by Chris on the level he sees himself being able to reach as he continues to push higher up the top ten and edge closer to a 130 lap, he also gets candid about the cost of racing and how he thinks he’d fare if given the chance to ride with a factory team.

Taking the rare chance of having Dom on the other side of an interview, Chris and Steve ask him about how his own podcast got started and who some of his most memorable guests have been.

The new series of the TT podcast continues this week as racer and fellow podcaster Dom Herbertson joins Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater for the first part of their chat.

Not one for a quiet and easy life, Dom explains the work accident that led to the eye operation he underwent recently as well as going into what he remembers about his crash during the Senior TT this year after a successful two weeks beforehand.

As the younger of the two Herbertsons on the TT course, Dom discusses what it's like to share that passion with his father Mark and how watching him race as a kid inspired the drive he has now.

Dom also admits the ‘learning on the job’ start he had with road racing and how the MGP became his first road race before taking on the TT not long after, even if he started a little slower then expected.

Next time, Dom continues his chat with Steve and Chris as they get into what it’s like to race alongside TT legends.

It’s the return of author and presenter Matt Roberts for this episode of the TT Podcast as Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater join the host of the TT’s live coverage for part two of their chat.

This week, the guys get stuck into Matt’s time presenting at the TT itself, from stepping in for Craig Doyle in 2009, to now hosting the first live coverage for the event in 2022.

He also talks about the difference between the TT and other biking events and what it was like to watch from around the course with Steve and Cameron Donald. As TT fans themselves, discussion inevitably turns to some of the best moments from the event this year, including whether they think anyone matches up to what Hicky has to offer.

Finally, Matt touches on his plans for the future, including why he’s decided to study for a post-graduate degree and whether or not he’ll be stepping into other sports any time soon.

This week on the TT Podcast, hosts Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater are exploring a different side to the motorbiking world in their conversation with presenter and author, Matt Roberts.

Matt discusses his surprising time on reality tv and how he got his start in the presenting world, despite studying Spanish at university in Huddersfield, something that he says actually gave him a boost getting into the media industry.

Now host of the TT’s TV coverage, the presenter delves into his time at Eurosport and the BBC, including when he beat Chris himself for the job there, and the challenges of approaching riders as they prepare for a race.

The guys also get into how racing has changed over the years, including the difference that everyone using the same tyres has made to the makeup of a race.

Next time, Chris and Steve will continue their chat with Matt and get stuck into his time presenting for the TT.

Join Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater for part two of their conversation with 16-time TT winner Ian Hutchinson.

Hutchy tells the guys about the injuries he’s picked up on the road - including his 2017 Senior TT crash - and the mental impact they’ve had on him. He shares how he’s grown his mindset to move forwards and get back on the bike after disappointment.

In 2010 Hutchy won five races at the TT, becoming the only rider ever to do so. He tells Chris and Steve what it was like sitting on the startline of the senior, with four wins in the week under his belt.

The guys learn about Hutchy’s friendly relationship with John McGuinness and his slightly more factitious relationship with Michael Dunlop.

The TT Podcast is back, and in the first episode of the new series, Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater are joined by the only person to have ever won five races in a week at the TT.

Ian ‘Hutchy’ Hutchinson has won 16 times at the Isle of Man TT, but tells Chris and Steve he wasn’t proud of his performance at TT 2022.

Hutchy’s journey into racing is an unusual one. His mum hated two things: rope swings and motorbikes. However, he reveals how he eventually got into riding trials bikes and worked his way up to winning races on the Mountain Course.

With a fair share of low points, resulting in many missed years at the TT, Hutchy reflects on his recoveries from injury and how when he’s not riding, he spends time flying helicopters around the British Isles.
