Listen "Why F1 Might Be the Best Broadcast in Sports"
Episode Synopsis
In Episode 7, Rusty and Bags debut their new segment “Fix It in Post” (shoutout to Josiah for keeping us honest) before heading into a jam-packed conversation with their friend Zach about Formula 1.From nine cameras strapped to every car, to live AR graphics inside the cockpit, to pit stop precision measured in milliseconds, F1 might be the most advanced live broadcast in the world. The guys talk about how the storytelling and production keeps fans hooked, what broadcasters in other sports (and concerts!) can learn from it, and why Zach got hooked on the sport through his son.Stick around for Cut and Fill, where Zach joins Rusty and Bags to share what they’re in on and out on these days.00:00 – Intro & Fantasy Football Draft Chaos02:10 – New Segment: Fix It in Post (Logo Placement Fail)04:30 – PGA Tour Championship Soapbox07:15 – Meet Zach: Video Engineer & F1 Fan09:00 – How Zach Got Hooked on Formula 1 (Father-Son Story)15:40 – What Makes a Grand Prix Special20:40 – Watching F1: Apps, Cameras, and Graphics23:30 – Data, Tires, and Immersive Storytelling31:00 – AR Halo Graphics & Live Data Feeds39:00 – Nine Cameras Per Car & Wireless Tech at 200 mph43:30 – Speed vs. Storytelling in F1 Broadcasts47:20 – Pit Stops, Team Drama & Fan Engagement50:00 – Cut and Fill: Airports, DIY Projects, and Family Time55:00 – College Football Talk & Outro
