Why you should listen

I first started watching/listening to Katy back at her old venture with Matt & Tom. I was bummed when they parted ways and started doing their own respective things, but so happy Katy had found her own audience! Her great personality shines through her and you get a real sense of the journalist behind the content. Keep up the great work Katy and best of luck in the future! Keep being you :)

Great and chill podcast.

This is a delightful podcast so far, whether you listened to WTF1 or not, if you like racing, you’ll like this podcast. Katy’s voice is one of the most pleasant on all the podcasts I routinely follow, the show itself has a cozy feel that works for commuting, afternoon walks, and morning coffee/teatime.
