Behind her mild mannered exterior, Maria Costello MBE is one of the world's fastest and most successful bike racers, and has achieved all there is to achieve in a sport that she still loves and is fiercely passionate about. From TT success on two wheels, Maria's now turning her hand to 3 wheels and the sidecars, where she's equally rapid and shows no sign of slowing down! Refreshingly humble throughout, despite the glittering Costello trophy cabinet, this is a brilliant episode and hopefully stories like this will help inspire more young women to follow their dreams and take up a career in motorsport!
Live from his home in Australia, Ross Noble talks sharks, tours, tanks and of course his passion for collecting motorbikes and keeping them away from his wife! Where better to hide a book than in a library? As Ross illustrates with garage full of automotive toys! Ross also discusses the bike training he got from the legendary Dougie Lampkin and how we should try and get him on the podcast, so the challenge has been officially set and producer Dave has now got his work cut out!
He started vlogging on YouTube more than a decade ago when automotive content creation was still in its infancy, and now Chris Eades aka Baron Von Grumble has more than 278,000 subscribers to his channel! It's allowed Chris devote his whole life to his love of two wheels, with his own channel and also '44 Teeth' which is a huge online motorcycling magazine and Youtube community of which he's one of the founders! As if that wasn't enough, Chris has recently set up Pitboxx Motorcycle Storage, his latest venture which allows those who don't want to pay sky high insurance for keeping their bikes at home in the city, the opportunity to have them stored and properly cared for by Chris and his team at their brand new facility in rural Hampshire. So, when it comes to turning your hobby or pastime into a full time career, Chris has got it nailed, as he explains to Iwan and Prutts who have already booked in a trip to Hampshire for coffee and cakes, and a nosey around his impressive collection of bikes!
They don’t come much bigger than this in the world of motorcycling royalty, so who better to kick off series 4 of ‘Full Chat’ than Mr Carl Fogarty! The podcast was recorded on the 7thAugust 2025 at the Wray Bike Night in Lancashire, which is a monthly event that attracts up to a thousand bikers from all across the north of England. Iwan, Prutts and the visiting crowd were in their element listening to Foggy’s tales of superbike glory and being crowned king of the jungle, so with the sun shining on the particularly pretty village of Wray and its Bridge House Farm Tearooms, it was a lovely evening that created the perfect backdrop for the first live episode of the podcast!
It's the final episode of this series of Full Chat, and Iwan and Prutts are welcoming in a gentleman they've wanted to get on the show for a while now. Henry Cole is a TV presenter, a film director, a motorcycling adventurer and a man with pure mischief in his eyes! He's a man who's certainly lived life to the full and shows no sign of slowing down, and provides us with the perfect guest to close a fantastic run of shows.
When you think of bike racing legends, especially with the TT in mind, they don't come much bigger, better and more experienced than John McGuinness! In a 30 year plus career he's made 108 starts, accrued 23 wins and will forever be regarded as one of the greatest ever! He'll be 53 by the time he arrives on the Island again at the end of May and has no intentions of stopping just yet, as he explains to Prutts and Iwan in this brilliant episode!
On this week's edition of Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts talk to one of their favourite two wheeling YouTubers, who up until recently was completely anonymous! His real name is Harvey King, his YouTube handle is 'Harvey Rides Bikes' and here he is on the other side of the world in Australia, talking about the big decision to reveal his identity, and how he's turned his hobby into a business, reviewing bikes for a living!
On this week’s episode of Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts sit down for a good old fashioned chinwag with ITV’s bike racing main man, Mr Matt Roberts. They talk Isle of Man TT, Moto GP, Ron Haslam’s racing school and much much more, and it’s quite simply, another cracking episode for you to watch, like and share!
Dougie from McFly is this week's special guest, and the boys are stoked to meet him! Dougie has only recently joined the biking world, along with bandmates Danny and Tom, and together the 3 of them are planning to ride to Japan maybe? Sounds ridiculous, but you never know with them, and it would certainly make a great telly show. All we can say is.... watch this space!
A qualified teacher, TV presenter and full time biker, Grace Webb is a lady with many strings to her bow. Brought up in a family obsessed with being on two wheels, Grace knows her subject matter as much as anyone, which is why you'll have seen her every year presenting from the Isle of Man TT for ITV, as well as being one of the familiar faces on Fifth Gear Recharged and much much more. Is it essential for our motorcycle racing presenters to be bikers themselves? No not necessarily, but it certainly helps...... as demonstrated here, with Grace and charm!
On this week's edition of Full Chat, Prutts and Iwan are joined by a bike racing legend in the form of James Whitham. Modest and humble throughout, despite sitting at the top table of British racers, James has been there, done it, got back on, and done it again! These days he teaches track day skills, tinkers in his garage, flies planes and runs Huddersfield international airport to keep himself busy! If you want to hear some proper stories of top tier bike racing on the absolute limit, then this is an episode you're sure to enjoy!
Iwan and Prutts are back with a brand new series, and they couldn't have got a better guest to kick them off! Charley Boorman is the ultimate motorcycle adventurer, and the 'Long Way' series' that he did with Ewan McGregor inspired everyone in the biking community, especially Prutts who still has a book that Charley signed for him over 15 years ago! Charley's stories of his Australian and African expeditions, The iconic Long Way Round and The Dakar Rally are fascinating, and this is an episode that will not disappoint!
What a life Steve Parrish has led! Now at the age of 71, Steve looks back on an incredible career racing bikes and then trucks, and going from having posters of Barry Sheene on his wall, to being his team mate at Suzuki! There aren't many people that have more tales of scrapes, pranks and shenanigans than Steve Parrish, so as a way to round off this current series of Full Chat, I'm not sure Prutts and Iwan could've booked a better guest!
This week, Prutts and Iwan welcome along a gentleman who is synonymous with great design and amazing spaces. George Clarke can see the beauty in most things, and when it comes to motorcycles, that is certainly true, judging by his stunning and bespoke customised Triumph, which is his pride and joy. George has been obsessed with bikes since he was little, and together the 3 of them laugh their way through the entire episode, fondly recalling tales of why they're all at the happiest, when they're out on two wheels!
He's been on our screens for 4 decades now, making Nick Knowles one of the most recognisable TV presenters in the country. Most famous for DIY SOS which has been going for a staggering 25 years, Nick is a hands on household name, but his first TV job actually involved his other great passion in life, motorbikes! Nick is a brilliant storyteller, and his two wheeled adventures over the years, make him one of Prutts' and Iwan's favourite guests to date, without a shadow of a doubt!
On this week's Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts welcome Canadian YouTube sensation Ryan Kluftinger (aka Ryan F9) onto the pod, to talk about living the 2 wheeled dream on the other side of the pond. Ryan works for Fortnine who sell just about everything a Canadian biker could ever need, but he's also become a huge household name for his insightful and honest bike reviews, which have endeared him to some manufacturers and put him on the back list with others!
Just in case the Isle of Man TT and Northwest 200 aren't gruelling enough for James Hillier, he's about to swap 200 mph road racing for the punishing and unrelenting sand dunes of the Dakar Rally! James should know better as he's done it before in 2023 and hasn't quite recovered from that ordeal, but Iwan and Prutts catch up with him at home in Dorset, as he prepares himself and his bike for his next adventure, in the ultimate off road test of man and machine!
What a life Titch Cormack has led! From his Royal Marine days in the special forces that certainly forged the man he is today, to the life of a TV star on 'The Speedshop' and everything in between! The one thing that links everything together though, is a pure and unadulterated obsession with motorcycles that has been a constant throughout all of Titch's adult life. He takes some well earned time out for a brew and a blather with Iwan and Prutts, from his beautiful and characterful bikers cafe down in Dorset, where the 3 of them indulge in their favourite subject, which also rather handily happens to be your favourite subject as well!
Another week, and another all star guest for Iwan and Prutts to talk bikes with! James Toseland is a 2 times world superbike champion and sits at the top table of British racers, but a career ending injury and 9 subsequent operations on his wrist have been tough to endure, and have also had a profound effect on the other great love of his life, playing the piano. However, this year his latest operation and lengthy rehabilitation have given him back the movement needed to hit the road with his band, so with a UK tour kicking off in just a couple of weeks, this is an uplifting and emotional journey and James's story from childhood to present day, is a truly remarkable one!
Iwan and Prutts are back with a brand new series of Full Chat, and who better to kick of round 2 than the queen of Moto GP herself, Suzi Perry! Suzi talks about where her love of motorcycling first came from, and how she loves nothing better than being on two wheels, when she's not globetrotting around the world with the biggest names in the sport!
