AndyC-NZ ,

Great show!

Great insights into the TT from a terrific set of guests. The hosts have a relaxed banter between them and with the guests, which brings out the best in all.

I grew up on the Island and worked behind the TT Grandstand scoreboard as a Cub from ‘75-‘80. The riders were my heroes… especially Mick Grant. It’d be great if you could get him on as a guest. Now I’m listening in to the show from NZ.

Keep up the great work!
