Why wasn’t there an episode of SPIN, The Rally Pod last week? What is Club DirtFish? What is the new weekly podcast going to be?
We know you’ve got questions – but now we’ve answered them.
SPIN, The Rally Pod hasn’t gone anywhere, it’s just moved house. Club DirtFish (on Patreon) is the new home of your WRC event preview and review analysis, where it joins a rich suite of podcasts including If You Permit Me To Say with Andrea Adamo, the George Donaldson Podcast, The National and What Makes Them Great.
As for your regular Wednesday drop, that’s not disappearing either! It’s time to go flat to the mat and whack it into stage mode.
Stage Mode is an all-new podcast where we’re bolting guests into the driver’s seat. Whether it’s the latest World Rally winner, a hero from rallying’s history, a co-driver, engineer, or team principal, host Luke Barry is going to be talking to them all – with recognizable segments (including a leaderboard challenge) complimenting the conversation.
So as we prepare to launch Stage Mode next Wednesday, July 30, David Evans joins Luke to explain more details about the new pod (including who the first guest is…) as well as why we launched Club DirtFish and why it’s of benefit to you.
