12: Who Is The Best F1 Driver? Mar 14, 2025 1:15:08 That's the question that Ben Collins is asking in this episode of Some Say. It's been a long winter, but Ben is out of hibernation and ready for the new F1 season which is shaping up to be one of the best in the modern era, with a whole crop of new drivers joining the grid. He sat down with a couple of people who know a thing or two about this - Trevor Carlin and Anthony 'Boyo' Hieatt to find out
11: Green Hell Secrets Exposed with Misha Charoudin
11: Green Hell Secrets Exposed with Misha Charoudin May 8, 2024 37:26 He's garnered over 1.2m subscribers with his top-quality content filmed from the mighty Nürburgring Nordschleife, and now the one and only @mgcharoudin is the guest of my latest podcast. What I love about Misha is that he's a true driver at heart – performing up to 1000 white-knuckle laps of the iconic 13-mile race track he calls home each year, in some incredibly varied and capable machinery. In

10: Mat Armstong's Crash Course Apr 17, 2024 31:25 I was lucky enough to recently visit the one and only Mat Armstrong's garage, to see just what it is that makes this YouTube sensation tick. I check out some of the latest exotic cars that he’s saving from the scrap heap, and hear more about his fascinating past and ambitious future plans. Mat is one of the nicest, most genuine guys on the scene, so it was great to finally see where most of his in

9: Polce Intereceptors - The Real Story Mar 14, 2024 40:43 In my latest 'Some Say...' podcast, I sit down with the one and only @BenPearson1965 – one of the most familiar faces from the iconic Channel 5 'Police Interceptors' TV series, to get a candid and no-holes-barred insight into what really goes on behind the scenes with the British Police. Ben really did see it all during his time on the force, and thankfully, was willing to share some of the gritti
8: Meet My Top Gear Boss - Andy Wilman (Part 2)
8: Meet My Top Gear Boss - Andy Wilman (Part 2) Mar 4, 2024 56:42 "If you enjoyed part 1, brace for impact. Wilman tells us what really went down in the Deep South on the American Special, the Argentina debacle, why & how Top Gear became a hit, Clarkson vs Special Forces. How Wilman identifies as David Brent. I also included some revenge from the editors whose eyes bled on many a late night working with Wilman into the small hours to whittle the show into th
7: Meet My Top Gear Boss - Andy Wilman (Part 1)
7: Meet My Top Gear Boss - Andy Wilman (Part 1) Feb 26, 2024 56:11 YOU'RE FIRED!!!! No he never said that. But working for Andy was a rite of passage and a PHD in film-making. No two days were the same. He was a man of few words and I can honestly say that I think we spoke more during this podcast than in the 8 years I worked on Top Gear. Wilman, as we know him, is a fascinating character and hopefully I teased out enough of his personality to give you some idea

5: Andy Green - Faster Than A Speeding Bullet! Jan 9, 2024 1:45:42 There aren't many people who can claim to drive faster than a speeding bullet. In fact there's only one person who holds the only supersonic land speed record, which was 763 miles per hour, and that person is Andy Green. In this fascinating episode of Some Say, Ben meets Andy and Thrust SSC for a very in-depth chat about what it was like to drive the world's fastest supersonic car. You can also wa

4: Tommy Byrne - F1's Lost Champion Nov 14, 2023 43:24 Tommy Byrne is every driver’s worst nightmare: a natural born racer. Someone who has such an innate feel for driving that driving fast is second nature. In this interview Tommy reveals the truth behind why he didn’t stay in Formula 1 and dominate in the way that his abilities predicted. He also discusses his unique speed secrets and a career overlapping with Ayrton Senna. Tommy has something in co
