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.

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!

On the 3rd day of summer break GJWF1 gave to me…a somewhat normal recording that devolved into chaos on the back end (OOP).

James Coker is here, and this episode has *EVERYTHING*: minions, being starved for attention, the Ina Garten and Jeffrey of F1, checking on your friends who work in Comms, Carlos giving us the run around, James’ content creation “strategy,” who’s a good hang, being haters about the F1 movie title, where to find adult leotards, if racing should be an Olympic sport, Glen Powell, who we’d let plan our summer holidays, how does Ruth Buscombe do it??, where to find a cough syrup sponsor, an impromptu Toto Wolff impersonation, wtf is a sexy bobsled?, screaming, laughing, hooting AND hollering.

Enjoy!

You can find more from James at TikTok, Instagram, and the WTF1 Podcast!

The lovely Elba O’Ward graces the pod with her presence, and despite an overwhelming amount of technical challenges, we were feeling chattyyyy!

Topics include publishing a book, being an amateur gymnast, compliments from my dad, low rise jeans (I CAN’T, AND I WON’T), feelings experienced while watching your sibling drive 200ish miles an hour, getting bangs 3 months before your wedding, being emotional on film, scaring your husband, weird fashion trends, why some women’s merch is so bad, Princess Diana, hidden talents, how she and Pato are the Billie and Finneas of motorsport, style icons, a new snack combo, the Indy 500, race day essentials, family values (great news, I have been adopted!), and a very special cameo by NORBI <3.

You can see more from Elba at her website.

This episode has more ups and downs than Carlos Sainz’s life the last 2 months!

The girls discuss the big shake up in Albert Park, budgie smugglers, Susie Wolff taking no prisoners, Logan left in the lurch by Williams, Lewis being unproblematic (UNLIKE HIS DUMB CAR), idiot influencers and double standards, age gaps, fried chicken, beef at VCARB (the irony?), losers and sore losers, George’s weekend from *hell*, and who’s resting on “pretty” and who’s acting like their lives depend on it.

We talk about other things, too, but…do people actually read this? Idkkkk but ENJOY!
