Podcast: Culture Study Podcast
Published On: Wed Jan 03 2024
Description: For the fifth episode of the Culture Study podcast I’m joined by Nicole Washington to talk about all things F1: what’s behind the recent rise, is it in fact Real Housewives of Monaco, what’s the current drama, and so much more. Because this is a conversation between someone with very little knowledge about F1 (me) and someone with an abundance of knowledge about F1 (Nicole) it’s accessible to all levels of fandom. If you’re utterly mystified by the newfound popularity, this episode’s for you. If you have a text thread dedicated to F1 memes, this episode is also for you.Show notes:The trailer for Drive to Survive on NetflixA pretty hilarious Quora thread attempting to answer the question “how did Red Bull get into racing”“Actual Florida Man” Logan SargeantKathryn VanArendonk making the compelling case for F1 as a secret Housewives franchiseLewis HamiltonTwo Girls 1 FormulaLily Herman’s F1 Newsletter, Engine FailureThe Fan Behavior F1 PodcastIf you need some help following the Max Verstappen/Kelly Piquet relationship, bless PeopleView of the Vegas Grand Prix Route (Side note, we recorded this episode before the Vegas race happened— here’s an NPR piece on how it all unfolded in the end)What Nicole sent us when we asked for an iconic F1 memeFollow Nicole on Instagram for many reasons including a bunch of F1 gossip on stories during the seasonWe’re currently looking for your questions for future episodes about:Goodreads (what has made it so bad, a particular trend you’ve observed, should you go to Storygraph, you can take this anywhere you want)Very Contemporary Architecture Trends (like ‘modern farmhouse’) and/or wtf is going on with Chip & Joanna Gaines these days, why is their new show so banalWhatever Bradley Cooper’s deal isONLINE PURCHASE REVIEWS (as in: what motivates people to leave reviews?
