Tuesday at Dobbs'

Only been listening (and watching the YT channel) for a few months but it’s one of the podcasts I most look forward to each week. A lot of automotive, and motorbike in particular, content can be presented in a very arrogant and opinionated way, exaggerating their tillermanship and engineering skills and looking down on others. Freddie is refreshingly modest, honest and down to earth in terms of what he rides, how he rides, the maintenance he does and what he recommends to others. I’ve no doubt that through this content, Freddie inspires others to get into biking, return to biking, have more adventures and have a go at their own maintenance, and to enjoy everything that comes with all of those. I’m in the returning to biking category and Freddie’s got me thinking about bikes I would never have considered before. Thanks Freddie!

I used to enjoy the old ‘Freedom Machines’ podcast, but since the re-branding to ‘Tuesday at Dobbs’ (a title that’s as irrelevant as the show’s theme music) it feels like Freddie has lost his mojo. He seems to spend more time apologizing for his lack of commitment than producing engaging content; and spends a lot of time reading from classified ads to pad-out the podcast, before typically ending the show rather abruptly. Come on Freddie, either do it properly or not at all.

Posh (possibly) Fast (fabulously) Freddie Dangerous (but only with financial advice) Dobbs. Not exactly steeped in motorbike lore but contagiously enthusiastic and certainly does the miles. Applaud his championing of smaller and mid sized bikes but has an irrational fear of the humble carburetor. Embrace the Carb FB. Skip ap Peter
