Time On Track: THE 2024 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

The Baku City Circuit is known for its long straight and narrow castle turns.That’s why success here is a testament to a driver’s quickness and daring. It’s why in the lead up to the main event we saw Charles Leclrec, who many consider the quickest driver over a single lap grab pole, giving the Tifosi a golden opportunity to double their successes in as many weeks.

But hold your horses because instead we were treated to a commanding performance by McLarens “second” driver. Oscar Piastri showed up big. And when coupled with Lando Norris’ great recovery drive, helping the team secure the top spot in the constructor’s championship. A position they haven’t sniffed in years

Take a listen as we dive deep into the suspenseful race that was the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Ep 364: Photographing the Canadian Rockies Sep 18, 2024

Show notes

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan sits down with Garrett Jones, Worn & Wound’s in-house photographer. Garrett is a relatively new member of the team, joining full time the very week of this year’s San Francisco Windup Watch Fair. But he had contributed a number of gear and EDC focused pieces before that, so he’s likely not completely unfamiliar to regular readers. In this conversation, Garrett talks about how he got into watches through the EDC world and his longtime interest in photography. Zach and Garrett also have an in depth discussion diving into Garrett’s recent experience with Citizen in the Canadian Rockies, which he wrote about recently in a fantastic “Out of Office” feature.

Time On Track: THE 2024 ITALIAN GRAND PRIX Sep 06, 2024

Show notes

Monza rarely disappoints.

With the Tifosi always hungry for Ferrari win, this year’s race finally satiated their appetite as Charles Leclerc, with the help of teammate Carlos Sainz brought home a surprising and well fought victory. We go over this great performance from Charles and talk about how Charles has now secured two of the most important races on his calendar.

We also acknowledge how none of this would have been possible without the amazing support Ferrari received from their good friends McLaren. A McLaren team that refuses to establish an order and a prioritization strategy for their drivers. They are still on a path that can get them both the Driver’s and Constructors championship but we wonder how long that can last with their current approach.

Tune in as we delve into this and more on this episode of the 2024 Italian Grand Prix.

Time on Track: THE 2024 DUTCH GRAND PRIX Aug 30, 2024

Show notes

In the first race back from the summer break, McLaren, who was already on a positive trajectory, smoked their closest rival to the tune of a 22 second gap at the finish line. A gap reminiscent of the first race of the season where Max Verstappen had us believing it would be 2023 all over again. After months of asking for more competitive challengers, it now seems like McLaren will only be taking Redbull’s place. We discuss if this dominant performance will be the new norm and how Redbull’s current trajectory may mean a battle for the Driver’s Championship isn’t an unrealizable dream for the papaya team.

We also look forward to Monza and wonder if Ferrari is holding upgrades back specifically for their home race. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen the team hyper-focused on success at one racetrack. What’s more, with a new racer on the grid (Bye Logan, Hi Franco), we enthusiastically await what the Temple of Speed has to offer this weekend.

Start up your podcast player and listen to this episode for more of our thoughts on the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix.

Time on Screen: Alien: Romulus Aug 26, 2024

Show notes

In this new episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan is joined by Ed Jelley to talk about the latest entry in one of their favorite sci-fi franchises: Alien: Romulus. The Alien series holds a special place in the hearts of both Zach and Ed, and in this episode they spend some time talking about how their relationship with these movies has evolved over time, and they of course get into some casual ranking of the films in the series, something that is basically required whenever the Alien flicks are discussed. Then they turn their attention to Romulus, which they both agree is a fun and welcome addition to the franchise, running through some of their favorite scenes, and giving their thoughts on what has turned out to be some fairly controversial fan service (spoilers abound in this episode – this is your warning!).
