And Colossally That's History! - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Since becoming an F1 fan several years back, I’ve been hungrily hoovering up every bit of history I could find. The Race’s original history podcast, Bring Back V10s, has helped immensely with this, but its era-specific mission left me wanting more from the older days. This podcast has come in to fill that need perfectly! I’ve loved every episode so far, and hope they record thousands more. These older stories fully deserve to be preserved and remembered, and the Bishop-Williams team delivers them beautifully. For anyone remotely interested in motor racing history, this is 100% mandatory listening. Phenomenal work!

As a fan of F1 for over 50 years, Matt and Richard’s podcast is by far my favorite. The combination of Matt’s insights from within the workings of teams and Richard’s encyclopedic knowledge of history, often witnessed first hand, is simply unmatched. Whether you’re new to the sport, or an “anorak” like myself, you will find much to enjoy and appreciate here. And Matt’s uncanny impression of Niki Lauda is pure entertainment! Keep up the good works, and looking forward to season 3 and beyond!

Matt and Richard transport us to an era we might only know bits and pieces about, the same way Bring Back V10s must feel for fans only familiar with the turbo hybrid era. It’s not only informative and insightful, but also a pleasant listen from two proper enthusiasts.

I could read all the books about F1, and watch every single documentary, but I still wouldn’t have the insight that Matt and Richard do. They are also really great presenters. I have never been very interested in F1 history from the 50s, 60s, but they make it fascinating.
