Built 2 Media Podcast
Enjoy Blake and Ben talk racing, life and much more. 2 idiots that race (or used to) who think they have the best ideas and argue about their points. A fun, light hearted podcast that usually turns inappropriate at some point. Many great guests with amazing race careers join to talk how they got started and their take on racing / the racing community. Caution: foul language encouraged during recording sessions.
