| 0:00.0 | Hey you guys, I'm Catherine Legg. I'm a racing driver who's literally driven everything with four wheels across the planet. |
| 0:06.3 | And I've got a new podcast. It's called Throttle Therapy. This season, I'm competing in some of the world's most notorious racing event. |
| 0:13.8 | Tune into my new podcast, Throttle Therapy with Catherine Leg, an IHeart Women's Sports Production in partnership with Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment. |
| 0:21.3 | You can find us on the IHeart Radio app, |
