How to Get Sidepodcast
Sidepodcast is determined to provide you with a variety of different media to cover all things Formula 1. Not only that, but there are different ways to consume our offerings, so if you’re confused where to get started, then this is the page for you.
Audio
Firstly, the audio podcast is a weekly show released on a Sunday night (or sometimes a Monday if it’s a busy day or a late race). You can keep up to date with the shows in the following ways:
- If you have iTunes, your best bet is to use the podcast function within that. You can find us here (iTunes link), or just do a search for sidepodcast.
- If you don’t have iTunes but use some other kind of podcast catcher, then you’ll need the RSS feed. Just copy and paste the link into your software of choice.
- If neither of these options suit you and you’d prefer to dip in and out of the show as and when you want, head to the archives page. Each episode is listed there, with the most recent at the top. Clicking the epsiode title will take you to the show notes page, but there are also links to the audio files that will play directly in your browser.
Video
Less regularly, but still quite frequently, we release videos. Before each race there’s a preview show, featuring information about the lap and ING’s race (crazy) index. We also do team specials, focusing on events and behind the scenes footage of current Formula 1 teams and drivers.
- Again, the easiest way to get your hands on our videos, is via iTunes. You can find us here (iTunes link), or search for sidepodcast tv.
- If you don’t have iTunes and prefer another kind of podcast catcher, then the RSS feed will do you just fine. Copy and paste the link into your software of choice.
- If you don’t like RSS feeds, you can keep up with the latest videos on the website. Sidepodcast TV has the videos updated immediately after they are released.
- If you’re a fan of other video sites, such as YouTube, you can keep an eye on Sidepodcast releases over there. We’re currently featured on YouTube, Dailymotion and blip.tv.
- As always, the archives page has the videos listed in backwards chronological order, if you prefer to dip in and out as desired. Clicking on the episode title will take you to the show notes, whilst the TV link will play the video in your browser.
Sidepodcast Diaries
Sidepodcast Diaries appear in between the usual audio/video episodes and are a highly irregular series, offering a sneak peek behind the scenes at Sidepodcast.
- There’s only one way to consume Sidepodcast Diaries, and that is on YouTube. They show up on the main page, but also have their own playlist within the Sidepodcast family of videos.
Transcripts
As an extra service to our faithful listeners, we offer transcripts of all the audio and video podcasts. They take a while to produce and whilst the shorter shows are caught up quickly, the longer shows are sometimes delayed. However, they can still be very useful and just as entertaining as the actual shows.
- The RSS feed for the transcripts links to the pdf files, and is updated as and when a new transcript is produced. This means they are sometimes out of order.
- Each audio and video episode’s show notes contain a link to the transcripts when they are completed.
- The archives page has a link to either the pdf or the html transcript page so you can choose which show you want to read and how you want to see it.

I just saw one clip “Inside Track - Budapest” from Vuze that’s why I was learned about your site. I love your stuff and coverage and I would love to see more…I don’t really like flash content, would you be offering more vidoes in Vuze?
Thanks!!!

blimey iCeMan, you’re quick off the mark. we’ve literally started experimenting with vuze today, and thus far it’s gone very well, so hopefully we’ll be able to get more content up shortly.
in the meantime the video archive page contains torrent links to all our videos in h.264 format:

hopefully that’ll help in the short term.

Ah! Great! LOL, yeah I was browsing on the What’s new and saw Toyota’s car (Glocks)? I just checked today and yes, I have already downloaded them!
I’ll just wait for more videos on Vuze coz I like sharing them to my fellow F1 friends through the share feature in Vuze. Can’t wait for more…
Thank’s a million!

you’re downloading them quicker than we’re uploading them.
i think the plan is to put new shows onto vuze as soon as they’re finished, and we’ll get through as much of the back catalogue as quickly as we can.
appreciate the support

Hi there - popped in from SofaF1 and about to subscribe but I really wanted a link to subscribe to all your output (Audio, Video, Blog Posts, etc) in one feed? Or is that back on the home page?
Thanks!
