Up To Speed

As an obsessed F1 fan from DTS, I have enjoyed this new podcast so much! Obviously DC and Will are incredible but I have to throw some serious love at Jolie and Naomi! You ladies are crushing and giving this sport what it needs and that is breaking more ceilings for women to be involved and showing what we can do. The Ollie episode proved exactly that in how you delivered an insightful interview by creating a safe space for him to open up. Cheers to all of you as you continue to keep us Up to Speed on this nutty season!

Love the podcast and much prefer it to the official F1 podcast, but Jolie Sharpe is just out of place and grating. The other presenters have a lot of experience, and while it’s not Sharpe’s fault that she doesn’t have the same experience, she puts so much effort into trying to match their level of credibility it comes off as very cringe. It is okay not to know everything. Just don’t act like you’ve been there if you haven’t. Forcing an inexperience “content creator” next to veterans has its perils. I also wince a bit at her voice. It’s like listening to the most privileged scold at Hogwarts talk down to muggles.

I’m here for F1 driver insights from DC but all the presenters are top rate and interesting to listen to. Very excited to listen twice a week. The first podcast I open on Mondays and Thursdays. Congrats on a quality program.

The content is good, the host team is solid. It feels very over produced and the sound effects and story transition music is too over the top and gimmicky. We listen to podcasts for quality content and insights, not for slick overly dramatic production.
