    Podcast Addict is excellent. It's free, I've been using it for years myself too. You can also add/play audiobooks/media you've downloaded from elsewhere. You can stream or download podcasts. There is a tiny advert banner but you never notice it and it's not distracting in any way.

    A very small percentage of the active online dating community using a website dedicated to connecting a group of people who tend to marry very young and usually their first real relationship.. not sure I'd want to include any of data collected from that site for any real statistical purposes in online dating.

    I agree with pretty much everything you've said, but it should be noted that they're finally starting to remove the parts of the hybrid system that has no trickle down potential to the real world in the 2026 regulations, namely the MGU-H part of the system. This is a good move.

    What is generally considered a terrible mistake by the experts as well as the spectators is the move to 1.6L V6 engines. As much as we all loved the V10 and V8 era, it should have moved to an inline 3 or 4 cylinder ~1L engine - this is the future of IC engines lie and where the majority of research money should be spent, improving efficiency per litre of these small engines.

    Alonso not only punching well above his cars performance but playing the game the last few laps towing Piastri in DRS. As soon as Rus passed Pia he increased the lead to 1.2s+ to stop Rus getting DRS. Legend. I'd love to see him on the podium again. I promise I'm not biased..

    Going off the Panama and Paradise paper leaks, pretty fucking easy. Even the queen was hiding money there. And absolutely nothing was done about any of it except a few politicians in Iceland stepped down and apologised.
