My name's Stevie Middleton and I'm a BBC Commissioner for a Load of Sport Podcasts.

I'm lucky to do that at the BBC because I get to work with a leading journalist, experienced

Together we bring you untold stories and fascinating insights straight from the players'

mouths.

But the best thing about doing this at the BBC is our unique access to the sport world.

What that means is that we can bring you podcasts that create a real connection to

dedicated sports fans across the UK.

5 Live Formula One

Hello and welcome to Japan.

I wanted to say welcome to Suzuki Circuit, but we're actually in downtown Nagoya in one hotel room

altogether. I say we. I'm joined by BBC 5 Live's lead commentator Harry Benjamin

and Neon McCarran, a Formula E racing team driver. Oh, feels good to say that.

It's Sam Bird. Good evening.

So welcome to Nagoya. It's slightly different, not what I was planning.

No, I don't think any of us were quite planning. So we were always going to be staying in

Nagoya and travelling to the circuit every day, but we've had a travelling to the circuit,

it has been a day. I think it's been an eventful four-chair hour.

Welcome back to 5 Live's, Sam. Yeah, absolutely.

But people will be thinking, well, yes, guys, you've travelled to the other side of the world.
