The brief

The Outside Line is a video and audio podcast about motorcycle racing, hosted by commentary duo Jack Burnicle and James Whitham. It draws on Whit's racing career and Jack's years in the commentary box, with guests from across the sport.

It started from nothing: no name, no channel and no audience. It needed an identity, a studio set-up and a release rhythm that could keep pace with a racing season.
