The fourth installment of Sidepodpanel sees guest host and birthday boy Scott Woodwiss take the helm and guide us safely through such topics as Force India and those 2009 wings.
Yet more new panellers today, with Dom and Doctor Vee taking part for the first time. Unfortunately some technical issues meant the other half of Sidepodcast took over a couple of questions, but not before Dom had scored plenty of points for his team. For more information on this panel, and to sign up to have a go yourself, check out the wiki.
Another guest host takes the lead in this edition of Sidepodpanel, as Andy Taylor chairs the topical show, covering all manner of F1 related items. This week we discuss the championship results, Bernie's medal table, and there are some musical references as well.
We welcomed two brilliant new panellers on this show, with Ollie and Lou both taking up the Sidepodpanel challenge for the first time. If anyone else is interested in having a go (and more importantly a laugh) on a Sunday night, then sign up via the Wiki.
The second edition of the popular Sidepodpanel, and our inaugural episode with a guest host. Alex Andronov takes the helm and discusses the upcoming championship decider, plus green F1 and Kovi's future.
There are plenty of topics up for grabs this week, including a throw in question from Scott Woodwiss, and there's even an impromptu engine impersonation competition. It would be a shame to miss out on our panelists fine efforts.
This is the first ever Sidepodpanel show, and as such is hilarious in it's unrehearsed and spontaneous nature. However, it really was a lot of fun to record, so hopefully, you'll enjoy listening.
We cover all manner of topics, including the standard engine idea, what FOTA would ever be able to do about it, whether Force India are up to scratch, who Alonso should have as his second driver, and of course, whether Bourdais should be given another year in F1.
It was suggested in the comments during last weekends live streaming that it was about time we started a new podcast. The plan mooted was to host some form of panel show that pitted callers against each other in a battle of wills over topical F1 subjects of the day.
At first we may have been a touch reticent about the idea, however Christine bought a new domain name (which is always a good sign), and the technical bits weren't too difficult to resolve, so against our better judgement the plan is to have a go this evening.
As ever, with so little planning, it's anyone's guess as what may happen, but thus far this is what we're thinking it'll take the following form:
A guest host who will select subjects and chair the panel
Two teams of callers, battling against each other
Points will be awarded for winning an argument
Extra points will be awarded for humour
Christine to keep score
Bonuses will be awarded for sucking up to the scorer, and then doubled if anyone genuinely manages to compliment Franck Montagny in a subtle way. If no-one has any objections, I'll probably chair today's panel.
As yet we've no idea how many people we can manage to host on a Skype call but we're hoping it'll be either two or three people to a team. Anyone not involved with calling-in can still take part in the comments by associating themselves with a team, digging out facts to help bolster arguments while berating the opposition.
Either it'll be a riot, a disaster, or more likely both. We have a list of people already interested in being part of the panel, but there may be room for more if anyone can't make it. The plan is to record the show after this evening's regular live podcast wraps up, so we're guessing around 8:00pm this evening.
To take part you'll either need Skype installed or a have a phone nearby. Skype users should add sidepodcast as a friend while phone users need to email Christine and let her know your phone number.
Any more thoughts and suggestions are always welcome. We have to thank everyone who's contributed ideas this past seven days, and if anyone looks through the list of suggestions and concludes that this concept seems remarkably similar to Fighting Talk, you are way off the mark. Just because we're thinking about some cool jingles. Perhaps a ding for good answers, and maybe even a "Hallelujah". Nothing like it.
