Welcome to Trackside! This is a podcast dedicated to and inspired by motorsports marshals all over the world.
You've seen them on TV: those folks in orange jumpsuits handling crashed cars or waving flags right next to the speeding cars. Are you one of these? Or do you want to be? If so, you're in the right place! Your hosts, Jamey Osborne and Jessica Althoff, are experienced race marshals who have worked many different specialties and different styles of event. They will take you behind the scenes of motorsports, including event preparation and recruitment of marshals. If you're aspiring to be a race marshal, they have plenty of advice for you too!
Race marshals are part of an amazing worldwide community and we welcome you into it. Join us! Trackside!
