Episode 35 - Luke Rocca

from The Motor Dream Podcast Hosted by Conor McNally

Amongst a plethora of podcasts dedicated to the world of Formula 1, there's one that stands out like a really sore thumb. A podcast whose hosts will do anything to avoid being relegated to their junior podcast, Visa Cash App Talking BS.It's the Reserve Drivers Podcast and on episode 35 of the Motor Dream Podcast, we get to chat one of the brainchilds behind this series - Melbourne based comedian and F1 tragic, Luke Rocca. Since their 2019 debut as a YouTube channel, Rocca and Tim McDonald have hilariously "terrorised" teams, drivers, and even the Sky Sports F1 team with their unique, irreverent Grand Prix recaps – even drawing "consternation" for a live on-air gaffe. Their no-holds-barred approach to "taking the piss" out of F1 has garnered a massive following. Away from Formula 1, Rocca also writes and researches for Network Ten's The Cheap Seats and recently hosted his stand-up show, "Doormat" at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. While not always a motoring enthusiast, Rocca's work on The Reserve Drivers has him quickly embracing a love for cars and presented a dream garage that will surprise a lot of people.
