“Overall, it’s a good F1 podcast, but not a great F1 podcast. New F1 fans will benefit from their relatively basic/layman perspective, but I encourage them to seek out other podcasts to listen to in addition to this one (Back of the Grid is one to check out, and For F1’s Sake if you want a more comedic approach). It’s clear this is more of a fun side project for them than something they put their heart and soul into (it’s not their day job, so it’s understandable). First and foremost, they need to stop bringing politics into the show unless it’s directly related to the F1 weekend somehow (like bombs going off during the Jeddah weekend). They occasionally go into random tangents and input their personal opinions into things that don’t matter. Rob rambles far too often and seems to think it’s his job to tell the listeners what they should like or dislike. He can sometimes impress with random old F1 facts and history, but seems to try to word vomit his way through some of the topics they discuss on the show. From time to time (it’s pretty rare) they will do their podcast based on what they saw in the highlight reels, which usually don’t tell the full story of the race, and what we get is a half baked podcast. It sometimes misleads listeners as they will completely misunderstand a situation that happened during the race. They should consider doing a “short” episode in these instances. Danny needs to stop the “race around the world” thing he does. It’s obnoxious. I tend to archive the podcast at that point anyway as I find little benefit in having the world race calendar read to me early in the week. It’s useless filler.
With that said, the podcast sound quality from Drew and Danny is great, but Rob’s could use a little work. The volume levels are great across most podcast sources. Too many podcasts have horrendous sound quality. This is not one of them. They do a pretty decent job of sounding organized despite the rambling. I like that they have a website that I can visit to checkout some of the content they place in the show notes. Finally, with the F1 and Done podcast seeming to have ended, I would rate these guys as the best F1 podcast coming from the US. I’m a long time listener and I will continue to listen to them. Just wish some things would change.”

“My experience of F1 has always been limited to the few races I've seen on UK TV as a child, as well as arcade-style versions in video games: but Drew and Danny keep me interested in a sport I'm only tangentially interested. While they do focus on the sport itself, my enjoyment comes from...”Read full review »
