On the Dirty Side this week…
Another week, another late newsletter!
I’m gonna blame the fact I was on airport pickup duty on Wednesday as some of our family have come to visit from the UK.
To make it up to you there is a bumper “In the marbles” section for you to enjoy or, if enjoy is too strong a word, read.
Last time out we talked about the Horner news and reviewed the F1 movie so, just as a warning, it’s full of spoilers if you haven’t seen it.
Oh, and we may have mentioned our very own movie trailer was dropping this week. If you have not seen that then it’s down below. Appreciate any shares you can do as for some reason social media algorithms don’t seem to like embedded links. Think they don’t want you leaving their platform to go watch content as they want you to keep doom scrolling with them ;-)
News & Social in a nutshell
These are the main stories we covered this week but obviously you need to listen to the episode to hear what our thoughts were on them all
Horner….well obviously this was the first story!

Apple on the hunt for the F1 streaming rights in the US

Last but most definitely not least, we dropped our movie trailer. Oh, you want the link here you say? Oh, go on then ;-)
