Beginning with a brand new season of Motorsport Manager we position ourselves on the virtual pitwall aiming to take Matrix Management to the upper echelons of racing history.

It's been a while but we've wrangled all the cables together to get the live stream functioning - just about, and just in time for Christmas. With a creak or two here and there, we intend to record a little podcast to celebrate the year gone by and the year to come. If you're around and not too busy wrapping presents or fighting last minute shopping hordes, do join us as we raise a glass to another year of Sidepodcast fun.

12/07/2013 by Christine

It's been a little while since we did a podcast together, and even longer since we broadcast live on the internet but we're back. It's been freakishly hot in the UK this week, and we're braving the conditions to coop ourselves up in the studio for an hour or so of Formula One chatter with you fine folk. There's plenty to discuss, it's just a matter of taking our pick from the heaps of topics that F1 has delivered up over the past few weeks. Do join us as we rake over the headlines and put the world to rights.

29/03/2013 by Christine

It's the Easter weekend, and we've had the day off work, so we should be all ready and rested to discuss all things Formula One. Is there anything to talk about, I wonder? Well, a recap of the Malaysian Grand Prix is in order, with all the fun and games that it brought! Plus we may get on to the topic of changes at Williams and perhaps a bit of feedback or two as well. Do share your topic suggestions in the comments, and most of all, enjoy the show!

With all of the Australian race weekend to talk about, and plenty of the Malaysia build up to ponder, we've got stacks to discuss as Feet Up Friday returns. Relaxed and happy, or raring to go, either way we've got some wonky podcast equipment, and we think we know how to use it! Join in as ever, with your suggestions for topics, your thoughts on recent events, and your predictions for the upcoming race.

Feet Up Friday - Last stop before the season begins

08/03/2013 by Christine

Friday nights have been packed for the last few weeks, but we have just one opportunity left to talk pre-season stuff before the racing begins in Australia. As ever, the off-season feels like it has gone really quickly, but equally, we're raring for those engines to start revving and the action to begin. Hopefully you're all feeling the same, and this is the place to celebrate the end of the off-season as we chatter our way through an hour or two of F1 news, views and more.

Feet Up Friday - There's a hole in my track, dear Liza

The end of another week brings another round up of all the Formula One action. There have been launches galore, alongside heaps of testing in Jerez - the track which found itself a big ol' hole today that stopped running until it could be patched up. It's been an eventful seven days in the sport that we love so dear, so do settle down and tune in to Feet Up Friday, our attempt at meandering our way through the week's news.

Feet Up Friday - I took the wrong day off

01/02/2013 by Christine

It's been a packed day in F1, a packed week come to think of it. With the cars being launched, the 2013 pre-season is starting to roll into action and we're rapidly heading towards the first test of the year. With a few things on our minds, such as launches and driver announcements, or a lack of them, it's time to get it all off our chests. Sit back and settle in for the first Feet Up Friday of the year, but do bear with us. We're, as ever, a little rusty.

Feet Up Friday - Sending the season off in style

23/11/2012 by Christine

The Brazilian Grand Prix plays host to what could be a thrilling championship showdown this weekend. Or it could be a damp squib as Vettel breezes to his third title in a row. Either way, we are back to discuss recent F1 happenings, predictions for the race and our plans for the off-season. It's about time we put our podcasting hats on again, so do pull up a chair, grab a beverage and relax as we send the 2012 F1 season off in Sidepodcast style.

Radio Active F1

Radio Christine pilot episode

26/10/2012 by Christine

Come in, sit down and tune in to the pilot episode of a brand new radio broadcasting concept - Christine doing an awful lot of talking! Oh wait, that's been going on for years. In reality, the Radio Christine concept popped into my head this year, and I've been waiting and waiting for the right time to get it out of my system. That time is now, and you are more than welcome, nay actively encouraged, to join in the fun and games as we see how this radio thing is (or isn't) done.

05/10/2012 by Christine

With the news of Lewis Hamilton's imminent departure from McLaren to Mercedes, there is suddenly a whole heap of things to talk about. Pérez makes a step up, Schumacher makes a step down, and who is going to fill that spare Sauber seat? We also have to preview the upcoming Japanese race, as well as how the championship is shaping up. All that, and lots to catch up on as FUF makes yet another return (more comebacks than Schumi, this show).

It's time for another rummage through the Sidepodcast archives, as our jukebox show returns. Another two hours of glorious history from our podcasting past, this time in a slightly more curated form. Settle in for a giggle at our rubbish predictions, our thoughts on events that have long since resolved themselves, moments where we triumph, and others where we fail.

We're back after an unintended break due to those oh-so-captivating track and field events. There's news to catch up on, and F1 related things to discuss, but don't forget we're always happy to pick up any topic suggestions you may have. Just throw them in the comments and we'll keep an eye out. It's time to settle down and relax after a hard week at work, put your feet up and get ready to relish in some F1 news, views and chatter.

With just an hour to get our thoughts into some kind of cohesive order before the Olympics Opening Ceremony gets underway, we'll have to talk fast. There's a wrap up of the German Grand Prix to be considered, before turning our attention to any mid-week news, then finally plunging headlong into predictions for the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix. Do join in the fun in the comments below as we record our third live Feet up Friday in a row - this is progress!

Our second live show in as many weeks, as we continue to get back in the habit of semi-regular podcasting. This week, topics will likely include the upcoming German Grand Prix and who may or may not do well, plus our predictions for the winner. We've also got some of the recent F1 news to chatter about, but you are always welcome to put topic suggestions into the comments and we'll try and keep up! Settle in and sit back as we indulge in some F1 chatter.

It's been a while since we recorded a live show, and if you discount the unexpected post-non-Goodwood spectacle, this is our big comeback show. There's plenty to talk about as Formula One in 2012 just keeps on delivering. Grab your beverage and snacks of choice and settle down in front of your internets, as we talk all things motorsport, all things Sidepodcast and everything in between.

In an effort to make the most of an unexpected free afternoon, we're doing the first live show in ages. Mr C is gradually on the road to recovery, but we'll explain all about our absence and our plans in this show. We'll also attempt to discuss some of the exciting updates to the site, plus, of course, anything going on in the F1 world that catches our attention. Pull up a chair and join us for an impromptu and only slightly grumpy live recording of an as-yet-undecided show.

For the first time in quite a long while, Sidepodcast is breaking out the live streams, hoping to record a Feet Up Friday podcast as the world listens on. We've been working hard on the site and investigating the potential of live streaming and how the technology has changed, and this is our first little experiment into what the future could hold.
