Oh for g...

...I'm not 100% leaving. I probably won't be anywhere near as active as I've been in the past, we'll have to see, but I'll still keep in touch at the very least. Unless, of course, you want me gone... ;)

I want you to tell us of the next Plamen Kralev!

Your announcement came to my mind when I saw this tweet with the catchphrase famous from the old days!

I can't believe an official FIA thing made that reference. We've used up our annual time a company tries to do a meme thing and it's actually funny.

This may not be the right place to post this, but I really miss the podcasts. I seem to remember that even after F1 Rejects ended and was replaced by GP Rejects, Jamie and Enoch were still releasing podcasts under the title "The Rejects Podcast". But all that content appears to have been taken down now. Does anyone have any idea what those two are up to?

I know they stopped doing the (revived) podcast because - to paraphrase Jamie - Enoch didn't see the point in satirising F1 when the sport was already doing a good job of that already. The Trump Problem if you will...

Otherwise, I assume they're still doing whatever else they do in their everyday lives; Enoch's still on Twitter, I think.

More related to the thread, I should be probably start writing again. I've had a few things in store that I had to drop last year because of... reasons.

I'm fairly sure I've got all of The Rejects Podcast (Approximately 2016 Edition) archived, if anyone is missing any.

I could probably add them to my collection of originals if there is demand.

Bit difficult to make a topical Rejects podcast when there's no reject teams in Formula 1 anymore :cry:

As a number of members of this forum are aware, one of our number (ibsey) is publishing a book. If he and I work on a Q&A-style book review, could we get it published on the main Rejects website? Pretty please?

I've only just seen the above post and thanks dr-baker for asking this :)

If you would like I would be happy to do a follow up interview / Q & A with GP Rejects where you can ask me questions about the book, having read it yourself. To date no-one else has done that yet.
Coming January 2019 a new F1 book revisiting 1994.


Pre order it here; www.performancepublishing.co.uk/1994-th ... eason.html

Inset and I have collaborated on a Q&A on his new book. What's the current process for submitting it for the website?
