The Nod with MCN Bauer Media

We are back for Season 2 of the Nod and kicking off just in time for The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride as we are joined by none other than the Founder himself, Mark Hawwa. Mark is a awesome guy who has raised over $37million over the last 12 years through the Gentleman's Ride. We dive into his bike history and the power of community to open conversations and save lives. It's a strong start to the season!

Mark joins the boys in a wet and cold Cotswolds this week which is a far cry from his home in Los Angeles where he lives amongst his collection of exotic Ducatis. Mark is a hugely successful and popular actor and musician who has a frankly ridiculous amount of stories and anecdotes. We barely scratch the surface but could still fill 3 episodes! Content Advisory: We also discuss mental health issues including suicide in this episode.

With Ant MIA once again (tag us in an Insta post if you spot him) Ben and Charley are joined by radio royalty, Dr Fox aka Neil or Foxy. During the 90's Foxy had the most listened to radio show in the country with the Pepsi Chart Show on Capital radio. He then went on to be a judge on the original reality talent show Pop Idol with a certain Mr Cowell. A life long biker, he found a love of Harley's some 20 years ago and has had plenty since. Biking at times has been hugely valuable past time for his mental health whilst dealing with some difficult times. We went for a ride with Foxy then sat down for a great chat. Listen on!
Thanks to our Sponsors The BMIC for the support.

This week the boys are joined on a ride by Harry Potter star and one half of the Weasley Twins, James Phelps. Triumph have kindly dropped off some bikes for them to try and Charley and Ant are under strict instructions to go steady as James has been riding for less than a year! It's followed but a great chat with James as he tells us about riding Hagrid's Bonneville sidecar in front of the worlds press with no experience and what it's like to be a child actor on the world's biggest franchise then have to audition for work after. Join the boys for another great chat supported by our friends at The British Motorcycle Insurance Community.

Former Olympic 400m runner Iwan Thomas joins the boys this week for a special treat and exclusive 'First Ride'. Norton Motorcycles have kindly dropped off a couple of the brand new V4CR's for them all to have a go on. The first people outside of Norton to be allowed on the bikes! After the ride they sit down to chat about running, riding and some previously untold stories. We are big fan's of Iwan and how he goes about his life. Listen in the hear more.

This week we are joined by former UK Special Forces Operator and star of BBC2's Speed Shop, Titch Cormack back out on the Norton's and having a chat. As you can imagine, Titch has had a rather remarkable life to date and brings a fascinating insight into life in the military and how his most challenging mission was not in combat but simply being a father and business owner.
Listen on now for a fantastic chat with one of the good ones.
