Everyone Racers Chrissy Mittura, Christopher Abbott, Jeff Wakemen and Christian "Mental" Ward Everyone Racers is a podcast that focuses on amateur endurance racing from beginner to advanced, as well as the news, tips, and tricks that go along with our hobby. Four friends and often teammates; Chrissy Mittura, Christopher Abbott, Jeff Wakemen and Christian "Mental" Ward discuss current racing trends and news, as well as occasional interviews and guests who are interesting people with different perspectives on racing and car culture. You never know what they'll discuss each week, but it will be entertaining! Explicit Think Like Me (or don't) Bret Martineau The life and musings of a digital handyman who also happens to be a semi-professional musician, amateur Muay Thai fighter, and divorced ex-mormon. Armchair philosophy at its finest :) Explicit The Witch Bitch Amateur Hour Charlye Michelle And Grandpa Kimothy PODCAST DESCRIPTION LOADING Explicit Did I Stutter?! with Drew Lynch Drew Lynch Did I Stutter?! is a podcast hosted and guested by the same person. On this weekly hour-long show, we get to live in the mind of an elaborate mad man who takes us on a stream-of-conscious journey through unhinged characters, inventive dialogue, and fully vulnerable asides from Drew's personal life. Broken up with musical themed segments such as "That's My Gripe", "Who Would Win In A Fight?" and "Badvice", the listener gets a glimpse into the way a professional comedian (and amateur lover) would approach the early stages of a bit; mixing the lead parts of a story into an eventually alchemized and hopefully satisfying piece of comedy.
