Esteemed motorsport journalist, historian, author, podcaster, girl's girl, shit poster, and cat mom Elizabeth Blackstock swings by the pod, and this episode easily could have been 3 hours long, but we all have ADHD by now (right??) so we reeeeally tried to reel it in.

We talked about getting kimchi fries from Danny Ric, learning to read at 2, doing gin shots from a mop bucket, how to separate being a fan from a career lady, being Tumblr girlies, why you should explore series beyond F1, stumbling upon motorsport fans in the wild, experiencing Formula 1 before and after the Drive to Survive boom, watching races with crusty old white guys, people stealing content, being trash talked to your face, cosplaying as international media, seeing the humanity in drivers, being on the Cadillac hype train and so much more.

We're already plotting her next appearance, so you definitely won't want to miss this one!

START YOUR ENGINES because season 5 is here, y’all!!! Consider this your friendly little plunge into what’s ahead for 2026. We discuss resolutions, being perfectionists, failing at being a pyromaniac, being absolutely obsessed with Heated Rivalry (DUH), thoughts on the 2025 WDC, motorsport news, already blowing it on the screentime front, hopes and dreams for this season including Mick’s big IndyCar debut, Isack’s trajectory in the 2nd Red Bull seat, and ways we can actually hang out IRL? You know us, always yapping. It’s been a few, but we missed yaaa!

The episode that was nearly a year in the making (+ 1 extra week bc James accidentally blew us off lol WHOOPS) is finally live! James Hinchcliffe drops by to talk about keeping a VERY big secret, being on a first name basis with celebrities, hating espresso, imposter syndrome, why farts are so funny, spray tans, being bad at things and doing them anyways, how to bust yourself out of a bad mood, having friends with boats AND planes, and some really great listener questions!

This episode was such a blast, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

Listen, y'all are in for such a little treat! Romance author Madge Maril drops by the day after her debut novel, Slipstream, is released into the wild, and it just feels like a beautiful celebration of creativity and joy and MAGIC. Maybe she should change her name to MADGIC Maril? Anyway, per usual, we burn through a lot of topics including the struggle of trying to pick a favorite F1 driver, if audiobooks count as reading, being a neurodivergent baddie, respecting the hell out of vegans, celebrating with Olive Garden, being a little bit of a hater, rediscovering the joy of reading, manifesting, and being a George Russell apologist.

We laughed, one of us cried (but it was cut out LOL), and we tried v v hard to keep the spoilers to a minimum.

We came, we saw, we ran our mouths (what else is new??).

Topics include: being wasted and tweeting about Chappell Roan, shattering your arm/dreams, feeling like a fraud, Harry Potter houses, Celine Dion, starting Twitter drama, drivers you’d never let around your mom, girlbossing too close to the sun, trying to get Will Power to flip off Alex Palou, having to pay for your own haircuts (DUMB!!!!), superstitions, and drivers’ unfiltered thoughts about why you should check out IndyCar.

This episode was a real adventure.

Thanks so much to IndyCar for having us out!

Matt and Brian from The Red Flags Podcast swing by to hang out with Natalie for an episode that is every bit as funny as it is chaotic (would you expect anything less from these two?).

We discuss bachelorette cities, crackpot theories, eating your own words, what constitutes an all hands on deck situation, feeling confused about the Adrian Newey announcement, F1 succession, “leaking,” who’s more rodent-y, dream relationships, working with Guenther, growing pains, PNL sheets, being normies, wishing the haters well, Zak Brown watching your Instagram Live, disappointing the listener base, hating James Vowles (FOR SHAME!!!), and much more.

This one is def top of the podium for F-bombs, so you have been warned!

Find more from Matt and Brian on their Podcast, buy their merch here, follow them on Instagram and TikTok, and be sure to tune in to Vankah Hours wherever you get your podcasts!

Enjoy!

WE DID IT! We survived the summer shutdown, y’all!!! And what better way to celebrate than with a fresh new episode!

Our girl Molly Oxner is here (on our friendship anniversary, no less!) answering all of your legit questions and some of my dumb ones. Discussion topics include: being secretly good at archery, going viral and why it sucks most of the time, brain rotting activities during the summer break, never taking a break, cooties, theater kid vibes, being annoying on TikTok, what it’s like being a woman in motorsport, and much, much more. We also delve into listener Q&As such as WTF is torque? Is AI taking strategists’ jobs? And what’s the difference between DRS and MOM mode?

You’ll def learn a thing or two this episode!

HAPPY RACE WEEK!

See more from Molly on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and her podcasts Braking Bias and Engines, EVs, and Espressos.
