"An Aside with Joe" Super Awesome F1 Podcast

If you're a fan of Formula 1 (and you know who you are), you need to listen to the Nov. 7 edition of the podcast "An Aside with Joe," courtesy of the most excellent people at sidepodcast.com. It's an incredibly insightful bit of podcastery.

Veteran F1 journalist Joe Saward hits on Toyota-BMW-Bridgestone-Honda-Renault, FOTA, FLAVIO!, a near brawl with Ron Dennis, tracks that are hostile to overtaking, the Barrichello/Button dynamic and the parasitic bloggers (I'm exaggerating slightly).

It's one of the best podcasts I've heard in a while. To the point, meaty, not meandering and endlessly sidetracked with tangents and useless and unwitty repartee. Excellent questions from the mysterious "Mr. C" and tons and tons of F1 information packed into this one-hour beauty.

Huge ups to Christine and the brilliant Englishpeople who run Sidepodcast.com

I absolutely love these. Most podcasts are interesting, fun, insightful etc., but with this series you feel like you've been educated, and by the coolest college lecturer in town.

This was quite informative... I need to find out who Gino is (as Joe didn't seem to like this guy...) :) :)

@ AZZ045

He's the big guy with the goatee who's always at the back of the Ferrari garage.
He's (and one or two other Ferrari people) gone to work for Lotus' corporate affairs department.

...but yeah, a bit of a knob by all accounts.
