THE TUMBLR GIRLY TO MOTORSPORT SUPERFAN PIPELINE with Elizabeth Blackstock

Esteemed motorsport journalist, historian, author, podcaster, girl's girl, shit poster, and cat mom Elizabeth Blackstock swings by the pod, and this episode easily could have been 3 hours long, but we all have ADHD by now (right??) so we reeeeally tried to reel it in.  We talked about getting kimchi fries from Danny Ric, learning to read at 2, doing gin shots from a mop bucket, how to separate being a fan from a career lady, being Tumblr girlies, why you should explore series beyond F1, stumbling upon motorsport fans in the wild, experiencing Formula 1 before and after the Drive to Survive boom, watching races with crusty old white guys, people stealing content, being trash talked to your face, cosplaying as international media, seeing the humanity in drivers, being on the Cadillac hype train and so much more. We're already plotting her next appearance, so you definitely won't want to miss this one!PS head to the GJWF1 YouTube page for exclusive AFTER THE CUT content from this episode!You can find more from Elizabeth below:Deadly Passions, Terrible JoysRacing with Rich EnergyTikTokInstagramBluesky Substack@GirlsJustWanna_F1 on Insta@GirlsJustWannaF1 on TikTok@GirlsWannaF1Pod on [email protected] the LinksThanks for listening!

Listen, y'all are in for such a little treat! Romance author Madge Maril drops by the day after her debut novel, Slipstream, is released into the wild, and it just feels like a beautiful celebration of creativity and joy and MAGIC. Maybe she should change her name to MADGIC Maril? Anyway, per usual, we burn through a lot of topics including the struggle of trying to pick a favorite F1 driver, if audiobooks count as reading, being a neurodivergent baddie, respecting the hell out of vegans, celebrating with Olive Garden, being a little bit of a hater, rediscovering the joy of reading, manifesting, and being a George Russell apologist. We laughed, one of us cried (but it was cut out LOL), and we tried v v hard to keep the spoilers to a minimum.Buy SlipstreamFollow Madge:InstagramThreadsSubscribe to her SubstackHands on a Hardbody@GirlsJustWanna_F1 on Insta@GirlsJustWannaF1 on TikTok@GirlsWannaF1Pod on [email protected] the LinksThanks for listening!
