The one about Formula One, Niche Sports, Exploding Whales, and Tracy Chapman.

We had an idea for a new podcast. Actually, it was two ideas. Mark had one idea, and I had another. We thought we were on the same page, but we weren’t. We initially thought we’d call the show the Rabbit Hole, and in this episode we definitely go down it.

The discussion starts with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, and proceeds to cover the insane world of kids and college sports, exploding whales, water issues in the western U.S., a man who builds a Lamborghini in his basement, a man who builds a boat in his house, a real estate boom in the west, The Cult at Top of the Pops, Ray Charles performing Georgia on my Mind, the artist Lady Lamb, the proto-punk band Death, the documentary Searching for Sugarman, Q Lazzarus, and Tracy Chapman.
