I may not ever have won any sort of race, nor even seen a horse or automobile race live, but I know a thing or two about racing. Like everything else I know, it's what I've absorbed from songs. This show is the sum of my knowledge.
Also! I interview Nick Ramirez, horseracing's biggest fan, & the Reverend David Fruchter of the Church of NASCAR, & Tania calls & sings a song for me. & you, too!
You want to listen? No? If you change your mind, the show is over at the Self Help Radio website, or through direct links: part I & part II. Vroom vroom! The songs I played are below!
