Trackside - A Podcast for Motorsports Marshals
Episode 1 - Welcome to Trackside!
Welcome to Trackside! This is a podcast dedicated to and inspired by motorsports marshals all over the world.
In this debut episode, Jamey Osborne and Jessica Althoff will tell you about themselves and how they each got started in motorsports marshaling, as well as some basic information about what marshals need to know to work at events at tracks all over the world including F1, the World Endurance Championship, IMSA, MotoGP, and lots more.
We have a distinct bias toward US events and the American style of marshaling, since that's where we live and where our experience is, but we're going to be discussing marshaling all over the world. Things are a little rough now as we get things started but we are developing ways for you to send us your ideas and we'll be soliciting feedback and stories from you as well in coming episodes!
We're excited to be bringing you this podcast and we hope you'll subscribe and give it a listen. Moreover, we hope you'll tell everyone you know who is already marshaling or wants to become one about it too.
