* James Whitham
* John Hopkins

* Michael Hannas
Jules Cisek and Jim Race review Monza and bits of news here and there. Fantastic interviews with Eurosport commentator James Whitham, Crescent Suzuki's John Hopkins, TT bound Mark Miller, and TTXGP/AMA racer Michael Hannas.
Many thanks to the entire MotoPod community for making our kickstarter project successful! Jim is going to the IOMTT!
Finally, a special treat, a song written by Mark Miller and performed and produced by Jon Wadley.
Jim Race and Jules Cisek completely ruin the show with mindless banter, only to be saved by some excellent on-the-ground reporting once again by Gonçalo Silva at the Estoril MotoGP round with awesome talks with Cal, Eskil and Kenny. Plus remember, if you can, please help get MotoPod to the IOMTT. We've got no backup plan. You, are It.

* Gonx interviews Bautista and Lorenzo
* Longest outtake EVER
Mark Bracks joins Jim Race and Jules Cisek to talk about MotoGP @ Jerez and Estoril, BSB @ Brands and WSBK @ Monza. Gonçalo Silva talks with Alvaro Bautista and Jorge Lorenzo. Plus the longest outtake ever (so keep listening after we say ciao :D - Parental Guidance Suggested)
Jim Race and Jules Cisek dash through the Assen WSBK results scattered amongst talks with Mark Miller (currently at the Isle of Man for TT promotion), Ed Haazer, a "regular guy" AFM club racer as well as a quick bit from Eurosport 2's James Whitham. A chaotic show, just as we like them. The first round of BSB at Brands Hatch is coming up this weekend as well as Estoril MotoGP.. Enjoy!
* Interview: Dennis Noyes
* Interview: Ben Spies
* Interview: Mark Neale
Jules Cisek and Jim Race fill in bits in between some great interviews this week. We've got Dennis Noyes followed by Ben Spies followed by Mark Neale. Plus if that wasn't already kick ass enough, we're giving away a GoPro HD camera! Yep. But you have to listen to the show to find out how you can win one.
There was a trifecta of very entertaining races in Jerez last weekend and Martin Darlington, Jim Race, and Jules Cisek can't shut up about it. In addition we are joined this week by MotoPod's newest member, Gonçalo Silva, who was at Jerez in the flesh and brings to you his take on what he saw and smelled.
* Interview with Roberto (Roby) Rolfo
* Interview with Lucio Pedercini
* Interview with James Whitham
Jules Cisek and Jim Race cover the WSBK Donington round. Jules leaves spittle on his screen. Jim takes a sleep aid. Also interviews with WSBK Team Pedercini's #44: Roby Rolfo, the team boss, Lucio Pedercini, and a fantastic chat with James Whitham.
* Review of Qatar MotoGP Races
* Interview with photographer Scott Jones
* Preview of Donington WSBK races
We here at MotoPod are stil digesting the Qatar weekend, and all that the results may entail for the season ahead. Join Jim Race and Martin Darlington in a detailed and at times delusional jaunt through our personal interpretations of just what happened over the last week in the Desert. On top of that, Scott Jones of Motomatters gives us his "boots on the ground" perspective as only a photographer can. What's next? You tell us...
* Tantalizing talk with Dennis Noyes
* Review of the final MotoGP test from Qatar
Jim Race and Martin Darlington collectively lose their minds, but not before a bit of sanity in a talk Jim had with the ever eloquent Dennis Noyes. The time for talking is done. Now, it's all about performance. The MotoGP season is well and truly upon us now, and to be honest we couldn't be more happy. Bring it.
* Chat with Mark Bracks about his Phillip Island WSBK weekend.
* Interview with Ed Sorbo, jack of all trades.
Jules Cisek and Jim Race answer some listener email, riff on (butcher?) the "Ducati Pullout" article from Cycle News and sport two most excellent talks, first with Bracksy on the PI season opener and then a rockin' jaunt with Ed Sorbo who's been all around the US roadracing scene, both literally and figuratively.
