Matt Roberts: Behind the Mic (Part One)

This week on the TT Podcast, hosts Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater are exploring a different side to the motorbiking world in their conversation with presenter and author, Matt Roberts.

Matt discusses his surprising time on reality tv and how he got his start in the presenting world, despite studying Spanish at university in Huddersfield, something that he says actually gave him a boost getting into the media industry.

Now host of the TT’s TV coverage, the presenter delves into his time at Eurosport and the BBC, including when he beat Chris himself for the job there, and the challenges of approaching riders as they prepare for a race.

The guys also get into how racing has changed over the years, including the difference that everyone using the same tyres has made to the makeup of a race.

Next time, Chris and Steve will continue their chat with Matt and get stuck into his time presenting for the TT.
