The Driven Podcast

Charlie Brigden is best known as 'Charlie WAYMOE' thanks to his co-founding of the smash hit podcast/spotcast WAYMOE. Charlie's spotcast involves him sitting beside a road and spotting anything on wheels that sparks a conversation, often with his friend and co-founder, Kaisha, and a frequent special guest.

In this week's episode of The Driven Podcast, Charlie is the guest for a change, and John Marcar finds out more about how WAYMOE came to exist while they both get very distracted by cars driving up the Goodwood Hill.

Special thanks to Bentley Motors for hosting us for this recording on the Bentley stand at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

10 years ago, Peter Greaves purchased a £200 Sony video camera and decided to have a go at YouTube content creation for a hobby. What started as a humble spare-time hobby filming his own cars and cars from a local car dealer has now become something extremely significant.

Peter's channel 'PetrolPed' has grown to almost 300,000 subscribers, which has enabled him to turn his hobby into a job and fly internationally to film with brands as prestigious as Ferrari.

This week, on The Driven Podcast, Peter joins John Marcar in the studio to share his story and journey and to reveal some of the more challenging parts of content creation.

In this week's episode of The Driven Podcast, John Marcar visits Silverstone Museum to experience Black Cats & Chequered Flags – a groundbreaking mixed reality exhibition making its UK debut.

Blending virtual reality, interactive storytelling and authentic motorsport history, the experience puts visitors in the shoes of Ferrari legend Alberto Ascari, Formula One's first double World Champion. Recorded during the exhibition's launch event, John speaks with members of the project team as well as a very special guest from the world of F1...

THE GUESTS:

>> Rob Jaina is the Director of Curation and Learning at Silverstone Museum, and is also a journalist and motorsport commentator.

>> Elisabetta Rotolo is the CEO and Founder of MIAT (Multiverse Institute for Arts and Technology), the company that created Black Cat and Chequered Flags.

>> Phil Lawrie is the CEO of Silverstone Museum. He shares a fascinating insight into what it takes to run the museum and what it's like to be situated on the outskirts of arguably one of the world's most famous racing circuits during the F1 weekend.

>> David 'CROFTY' Croft - As a special guest on the episode, we're joined by the Voice of Sky Sports F1 commentary and the host of The Sky Sports F1 Podcast, aka The F1 Show Podcast. Crofty graciously joined John on his birthday to host the presentation and launch the exhibition.
