We break down all the action from Melbourne: the pace, the strategy swings, the surprises, and the storylines that will shape the early part of the season. Albert Park delivered again. We look at the World Series of Pro Mod — the performances, the heavy hitters, and the standout runs that kept the fans on their feet. Gainsville always sets the tone, and this year was no different. We talk results, form guides, and who looks dangerous heading into the next stretch of the season. We also dive the Austin Prock interview — his non-qualifier at the Gators and the expectation at the Bob Tasca team.

Tom Clarkson is joined in the Albert Park paddock by former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer and Channel 10's Richard Craill to reflect on an entertaining season opener in Melbourne. Mercedes took the first victory of this new era of Formula 1, with George Russell leading Kimi Antonelli to a 1-2 finish. George might be the favourite to become World Champion, but could Kimi challenge him for the duration of the season? Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished third, ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton in fourth. Can they take the fight to Mercedes this year? And could we see Hamilton back on the top step? Plus, the guys discuss how far behind Red Bull and McLaren are, a sensational F1 debut from Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad, points for Audi in their first race, and why there may be signs of encouragement for Aston Martin after a very challenging start to the season.

El Gran Premio de Australia de 2026 acaba de inaugurar la temporada de Fórmula 1, pero lejos de despejar incógnitas ha dejado un regusto amargo entre buena parte de los aficionados. Y en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca hablar de ello: sensaciones, esperanzas y realidades tras la primera prueba del año. ¿Se confirman las sensaciones de la pretemporada? Lo que debía ser la primera gran prueba del nuevo ciclo técnico ha terminado mostrando muchas de las preocupaciones que ya se habían insinuado en la pretemporada: carreras difíciles de seguir, coches gestionando energía de forma agresiva y una sensación general de espectáculo descafeinado. Las críticas en las redes sociales no pueden ser más feroces. La clasificación ya había dado pistas de por dónde irían los tiros: George Russell se llevó la pole con autoridad para Mercedes, seguido por su compañero Kimi Antonelli, en un resultado que evidenció el buen trabajo del equipo alemán a una vuelta. Ferrari parecía cerca, pero a cierta distancia, mientras Red Bull y McLaren quedaban algo más atrás de lo esperado. La sesión dejó también momentos llamativos, como el enorme esfuerzo de los mecánicos de Mercedes para tener el coche listo antes de la Q3. En carrera, el inicio fue prometedor. Las salidas de los Ferrari fueron agresivas y los primeros compases ofrecieron algunos adelantamientos interesantes, incluidos varios intercambios de posición entre Russell y Leclerc que levantaron cierta polémica por la forma en que se producían, muchas veces más por diferencia de potencia que por maniobras puramente de piloto. Sin embargo, el desarrollo del Gran Premio pronto cayó en una dinámica marcada por las neutralizaciones y las estrategias. El abandono de Isack Hadjar en la vuelta 12 provocó el primer Virtual Safety Car, momento que aprovecharon varios equipos para detenerse. Mercedes incluso realizó una doble parada, mientras Ferrari optaba por mantenerse en pista y tratar de construir su propia estrategia. La carrera siguió ese patrón durante casi toda su evolución: un segundo VSC en la vuelta 19 por el abandono de uno de los Cadillac volvió a agitar las decisiones desde el muro, con pilotos como Lindblad, Verstappen o Bearman aprovechando para cambiar neumáticos. Ferrari, en cambio, retrasó sus paradas hasta las vueltas 26 y 29, apostando por un enfoque alternativo que finalmente no les permitió discutir seriamente la victoria. Se confirma el dominio de Mercedes. El resultado final confirmó el dominio de Mercedes en este inicio de temporada: Russell ganó el Gran Premio, seguido por Antonelli y Leclerc, mientras Hamilton terminó cuarto. Norris y Verstappen (¡que había salido desde la 20ª posición!) completaron las posiciones inmediatamente posteriores. Más atrás destacaron actuaciones como las de Bearman, Lindblad o Bortoleto dentro de la zona de puntos. Lo que oculta la carrera en Albert Park. Pero más allá de la clasificación final, el debate se centra en el tipo de carreras que está ofreciendo esta nueva Fórmula 1. La categoría presumió de haber alcanzado más de 120 adelantamientos, una cifra muy superior a la del año anterior, aunque muchos analistas consideran que ese dato oculta una realidad más compleja: adelantamientos generados por diferencias de energía o potencia más que por lucha directa en pista. A esto se suma la crisis de Aston Martin-Honda, ya plenamente visible en Melbourne. Los problemas de vibraciones del motor, la falta de repuestos y las críticas internas dentro del equipo han puesto el proyecto bajo el foco desde la primera carrera. Y tampoco Williams parece haber encontrado todavía el camino correcto. La temporada apenas ha empezado, pero el Gran Premio de Australia deja una sensación clara: te tiene que gustar mucho el Motor para seguir estas carreras. Le daremos otra oportunidad a ver si en China nos sorprenden. Mientras la Fórmula 1 genera debate sobre su nuevo rumbo técnico, la IndyCar volvió a demostrar en Phoenix por qué sigue siendo una de las categorías más espectaculares del automovilismo. Así que en el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca comparar la falta de espectáculo de Australia con el grandísimo espectáculo de Phoenix. Newgarden: calma y autoridad. En el óvalo de Arizona, Josef Newgarden firmó una victoria de gran autoridad tras una carrera intensa de 250 vueltas que mantuvo la emoción prácticamente hasta el final. El piloto del Team Penske supo gestionar perfectamente las distintas fases de la carrera, combinando ritmo, estrategia y experiencia para imponerse finalmente a Kyle Kirkwood y David Malukas, que completaron el podio. La prueba estuvo marcada por numerosas luchas en pista y cambios de liderazgo, con varios pilotos alternándose al frente durante diferentes momentos de la carrera. Rasmussen da un recital de pilotaje. Entre los protagonistas también destacó Christian Rasmussen, que lideró buena parte de la prueba antes de caer en la clasificación final, y Pato O’Ward, siempre competitivo dentro del grupo delantero. La carrera confirmó además el gran momento de Penske en este inicio de temporada. El fin de semana, sin embargo, dejó una nota amarga con el abandono de Alex Palou tras un incidente en pista que lo dejó fuera de carrera muy pronto. El español, que llegaba como líder del campeonato, se vio involucrado en un contacto que terminó con su monoplaza fuera de combate, un golpe duro en términos de puntos aunque todavía con margen para reaccionar en el campeonato. Con estos resultados, Newgarden se coloca en lo más alto de la clasificación general tras dos pruebas disputadas, seguido de Kirkwood y Scott McLaughlin, mientras Palou cae a la quinta posición. Tercera carrera en 3 semanas. La IndyCar ya mira ahora hacia su próxima cita, que será especialmente singular: la nueva carrera urbana de Arlington (Texas). El trazado recorrerá el distrito deportivo de la ciudad y pasará junto a dos de sus escenarios más emblemáticos, el AT&T Stadium, sede de los Dallas Cowboys, y el Globe Life Field, estadio de los Texas Rangers. El circuito tendrá una longitud de 2,73 millas y contará con características poco habituales, como un pit lane dividido y una sección técnica en forma de herradura junto al estadio. La prueba promete ser uno de los eventos más llamativos del calendario, fruto de la colaboración entre Penske Entertainment y las organizaciones deportivas locales. Con carreras intensas, variedad estratégica y luchas constantes en pista, la IndyCar sigue ofreciendo un contraste interesante con la Fórmula 1 (que no nos da nada de eso). Y tras el espectáculo de Phoenix, el campeonato estadounidense confirma que todavía tiene mucho que decir esta temporada… y nosotros mucho que ver.

The 2026 Formula 1 season is kicking off in Melbourne today. Homegrown racer Liam Lawson will be facing the Albert Park street circuit once again – the race that saw him fail to finish last year. NZ Herald Sports Reporter Alex Powell told Ryan Bridge it's been a tricky start to the year for everyone, with new cars and new regulations, so everyone's waiting with bated breath to see how they'll go. He says today will be the first time we'll see these cars and race situation on a track. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Endlich! Die ultimative Erklärung, was wirklich hinter der neuen Formel 1-Generation steckt. Wie funktionieren die Autos, was genau sind die einzelnen Techniktricks – und ist das überhaupt noch Motorsport? Oder nur noch Tüdelei für Ingenieure ohne echtes Rennfahren? Nach viel Halbwissen in den meisten Medien der vergangenen Wochen liefert PITCAST – der Podcast der Zeitschrift PITWALK – direkt aus dem Albert Park in Melbourne endlich alle wahren Hintergründe und Erklärungen.

With Supercars gearing up for its second round alongside F1 at Albert Park we thought it was a good chance for you to get to know the sport’s new play-by-play commentators a little better. Chad Neylon, Matt Naulty and Richard Craill have each walked different roads to get to this point and have become good friends along the way. They’ll share the lead calling role throughout the season.Why they are proper car (and bike) fans, the hard yards they’ve done across multiple forms of Motorsport, the grassroots and PA commentary that helped shape them and some of the impressive jobs they’ve done internationally too. From a shared love of ‘The Simpsons’ to the classic bike in the Neylon family plus the scars on Craillsy’s hands from working on his first car (he still owns it and won’t part with it) as well as the King of Story telling - why Naulty also has a forklift driver’s license. Much has been written and said about the sport’s big broadcast changes this year. This chat isn’t about reigniting that…..quite the opposite. The boys are all acutely aware of the magnitude of this job opportunity and very respectful of the legends who came before them. Why Rusty thought a shortcast would be long enough for this one we’ll never know. This is a ripper pub style convo between four Motorsport mates. Enjoy… Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know who you want to hear from on Rusty's GarageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the conflict in the Middle East rages, its impacts are being felt here.Stranded Australians are finally starting to return home on commercial flights from the region.One of Australia's main motoring bodies is referring major fuel retailers to the competition and consumer watchdog for pumping up petrol prices less than three days after the conflict broke out.The NRMA says prices in the majority of the nation's capital cities have already ballooned despite overseas disruptions taking seven to ten days to impact fuel prices.The White House says the US may start escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, as energy prices rise, so they aren't attacked by Iranian forces.The waterway's a key artery for around a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supply.The foreign minister Penny Wong says the government's "deeply concerned" the conflict in the Middle East is spreading, pointing out that Iran's now struck Türkiye which is a NATO country.Israel's also telling people in a large part of Lebanon to evacuate as it targets the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah.Fans are descending on Albert Park in Melbourne for the first day of the  Formula-One Australian Grand Prix.Tickets to Friday, Saturday and Sunday sold out in record time and organisers expect hundreds of thousands of people to attend over the four days. 

The wait is over. Formula 1 is back, the regulations are new, and we have absolutely no idea what's going to happen — which is exactly how we like it.This week we're kicking off the 2026 season with everything that's been swirling around the paddock heading into Melbourne. Charles Leclerc got married, and we have thoughts. Drive to Survive dropped its eighth season, and the internet is split on whether the show still matters or whether it's run its course — we're breaking that debate down with our most reliable chat regulars. Then we get into the racing: Aston Martin swears they've turned a corner, Mercedes has been suspiciously quiet in a way that either means they're cooking or they've burned the kitchen down, and Max Verstappen's already told us the Red Bull will show up with the same colors and not much else.What can we actually expect when these brand new cars hit Albert Park for real? We'll speculate, we'll overreact, and we'll probably lose focus at least twice. Welcome to 2026.

The 2026 Formula 1 Season is finally here!. It's Round 1, and we're kicking off at Albert Park with the Australian Grand Prix. Time for sandbagging over, it's about time we got a real read of who's best, and who's worst. Let's get into all of the details, plus our very first Bangers & Clangers predictions for the year. My name's Tommo, let's talk about it.

La espera terminó: la Fórmula 1 arranca en Albert Park con el nivel de incertidumbre más alto de los últimos años. Tras una pretemporada en la que nadie ha querido (o podido) mostrar todas sus cartas, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos preparar para el Gran Premio de Australia, que se presenta como el primer examen real para monoplazas completamente renovados en aerodinámica y unidad de potencia. Sin orden ni… idea. No sólo desconocemos el orden real de la parrilla; tampoco está claro cómo serán las carreras en términos estratégicos, qué impacto tendrá la gestión energética ni cómo se comportarán las salidas en este nuevo contexto técnico. A esa incertidumbre deportiva se suman factores externos, con tensiones geopolíticas que amenazan el calendario y generan dudas logísticas en las primeras citas del año. Pero, al menos, el escenario es el adecuado: Melbourne, una pista icónica que celebra su 40.º aniversario como Gran Premio de Australia y que ofrece un entorno espectacular para abrir la temporada. Lo único que podemos saber. Desde el punto de vista técnico, Albert Park (5,278 kilómetros) combina rectas rápidas y curvas de velocidad media y baja sobre un asfalto liso y poco abrasivo. Pirelli ha elegido los compuestos más blandos (C3, C4 y C5), lo que abre la puerta a estrategias variables. Tradicionalmente, el desgaste no es extremo y el número de paradas dependerá en gran medida del comportamiento térmico y de la facilidad para adelantar, un aspecto históricamente limitado en este trazado urbano. Por otra parte, el clima puede volver a ser protagonista. En 2025 la carrera quedó dividida en fases por la lluvia, con salida en intermedios y múltiples cambios de estrategia. Si las condiciones son secas, la referencia reciente apunta a dos paradas como opción dominante, aunque el compuesto blando podría tener cabida si los coches gestionan bien la degradación. Los grandes interrogantes en Australia. Entre los grandes interrogantes técnicos destacan las vibraciones y el software de simulación en Aston Martin-Honda, el seguimiento sobre el motor Mercedes (y la futura medición de compresión en frío y en caliente desde junio) y la incógnita sobre si Ferrari, Red Bull o McLaren han mostrado realmente su potencial. La primera sesión de libres dará pistas clave: número de tandas largas, ritmo de clasificación y equilibrio térmico entre ejes serán indicadores decisivos. ¿Lo bueno? Australia no solo inaugura el calendario: inaugura las respuestas. Y lo hace en un circuito donde históricamente ha habido variedad de ganadores (Michael Schumacher lidera con cuatro triunfos) y donde McLaren es el constructor más exitoso. El Mundial arranca con dudas, pero también con la promesa de que, por fin, veremos la verdad en pista. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Kenny and Macca are joined live in the studio by Nina Taylor, Labor MP, Albert Park. Bill protecting intersex children from unnecessary medical, interventions that has just been passed by the Vic lower house The Victorian Government's Bill protecting intersex children from unnecessary and irreversible medical procedures without their consent has passed in the lower house. Intersex people are born with innate variations of sex characteristics that don't fit medical norms for female or male bodies. As the intersex community has grown more visible, we have learned how common unnecessary and irreversible surgeries are to individuals, particularly those who are too young to consent. It is believed that about 1.7 per cent of the population is born with an intersex trait. There are at least 40 known intersex variations. In October 2021, the Australian Human Rights Commission urged all Australian governments to implement measures that prevent harmful medical interventions on intersex people without personal consent.   In August 2025, the Australian Medical Association passed a motion calling for a deferral of surgical interventions for intersex people until they can give consent. The Health Safeguards for People Born with Variations in Sex Characteristics Bill 2025 passed the lower house without opposition on Thursday. The Bill prohibits deferrable medical interventions until a child can decide for themselves that they want that, introducing independent oversight of proposed treatment plans. The passing of the bill reflects decades of tireless advocacy by intersex people and community organisations, building on similar protections introduced in the ACT in 2023. https://qnews.com.au/intersex-reform-for-childrens-medical-interventions-passes-vic-lower-house/ The post Sat, 14th, Feb, 2026: Nina Taylor, Labor MP, Albert Park, Intersex Medical Intervention Reform for Children Passes Vic Lower House appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

This week, Run2PB coaches Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman are joined by returning guest and "pod veteran" Chris Hillhouse. Fresh off a massive track debut in Hobart, Chris shares his journey from setting PBs on a school footy oval to becoming a 2:38 marathoner. TThe training talk starts with Chris Armstrong navigating a 66km week and a particularly "uncomfortable" set of Deeks Quarters. On the other side of the mic, Zacca is finding serious momentum with a 94km average over the last month. Zac details his BT Fartlek session at Albert Park and continues to build with a spicy long run.Returning Guest Chris Hillhouse joins the conversation to unpack his recent 16:10 debut in a 5000m track race down in Hobart. This performance marks a significant milestone in a rapid progression that began in May 2024. Coached by Josh Harris. He reflects on his Melbourne Marathon debut, where he crossed the halfway mark feeling strong in 79 minutes before facing the inevitable "wall" and emotional struggle that hits at the 27km mark, he rallied and managed to run 2:38.Beyond the running stats, the episode explores Chris's life as a landscaper and the face of "Over the Hill Gardening". Follow Here: https://www.instagram.com/overthehillgardening/?hl=enThe banter continues as the boys dive into the world of icy pole reviews. Chris shares his thoughts on the infamous Juicee icy poles, giving them a lowly 1/10 for taste.The episode wraps up with a discussion on a bizarre story from the Hong Kong Marathon, where a runner was disqualified at the 15km mark. Race officials pulled the participant off the course after realizing he was carrying an infant in a front carrier—complete with its own official race bib. The crew discusses the absurdity of the "baby-bouncing" logistics and compares it to more traditional (and legal) pram running.With thanks to Oat Running our partner,Listeners of the show can get a a 15% discount using "run2pb15" at the check out.

To kick off the new year, episode 278 of the Better With Running podcast begins with a catch-up between coaches Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman, followed by a detailed interview with athlete Matt Watts and his coach, Forest Robinson.The episode opens with Chris and Zac discussing the challenges of the current Australian heatwave, which has forced many local runners to adjust their training significantly. Chris shares that he recently completed a session of 8 x 1km reps, averaging 3:29 per rep, with a particularly strong final effort of 3:19. He felt much smoother than in previous months, noting that he spent two hours recovering as a "vegetable" after a sweltering 25km long run. Meanwhile, Zac is making steady progress in his "rebuild" phase, hitting back-to-back 80km weeks and finding his rhythm again at Albert Park. He averaged 3:30s during a recent 6-minute interval and is starting to contemplate a return to road racing,This weeks run2pb guest interview is with Matt Watts who describes his relatively recent and rapid progression from a team sports background in footy and cricket to marathon running. After a long hiatus from fitness, he returned to activity via a "Couch to 5K" program, initially motivated by a desire to be a healthy role model for his young daughter. His progression was swift; he went from completing a 27-minute 5K to training for his first marathon in his hometown of Ballarat. Matt reflects on his early experiences as a "cookie-cutter" plan user, explaining that while those generic programs got him started, he eventually reached a plateau where he needed more structure and personal accountability.A major theme of the interview is the transformative effect of working with coach Forest Robinson. Matt explains that the biggest shift from "Old Matt" to "New Matt" is the move away from chasing arbitrary numbers to trusting a long-term developmental process. Forest chats about, focusing on building Matt's volume safely and keep easy runs easy. Matt has embraced this new structure, finding that having a coach in his corner has changed his perspective on training blocks, turning them into sustainable journeys rather than just countdowns to a single race day.With thanks to Oat Running our partner,Listeners of the show can get a a 15% discount using "run2pb15" at the check out.

Después de una semana de vacaciones, por Navidad, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 regresa en el momento en el que hay noticias más que jugosas para analizar, sobre todo en la Fórmula 1. Motores en el centro de la polémica. En 2026 encaramos el inicio de una nueva era. Pero, antes incluso de que los monoplazas rueden en pista, la gran historia del próximo campeonato gira en torno a los motores y una polémica que ya domina las conversaciones en el paddock. La nueva normativa técnica, diseñada para equilibrar costes y atraer a nuevos fabricantes, incluyó un cambio clave: la reducción de la relación de compresión máxima de los motores de combustión interna de 18:1 a 16:1. Esta cifra define cuántas veces se comprime la mezcla de aire y combustible en el cilindro, y es un parámetro fundamental para la eficiencia y potencia del motor. Sin embargo, equipos punteros como Mercedes y Red Bull Powertrains (con apoyo de Ford) parecen haber encontrado una “brecha” o interpretación del reglamento técnico (artículo C5.4.3) que les permitiría, en condiciones reales de funcionamiento, superar ese límite. La clave está en cómo se mide legalmente la compresión: la relación solo se verifica cuando el motor está estático y a temperatura ambiente. Eso deja una ventana para que, una vez el motor está caliente y en pleno uso, los materiales se expandan controladamente, lo que aumenta el volumen efectivo en la cámara de combustión, y el motor opere con una relación similar a la antigua de 18:1. La importancia de medir bien. Este supuesto “truco” no es menor. Simulaciones independientes estiman que podría ofrecer hasta unos 10 kW adicionales (≈ 13 CV) y traducirse en 0,3–0,4 segundos por vuelta en circuitos sensibles al motor, como el Albert Park de Melbourne. Los demás fabricantes (Ferrari, Audi y Honda/Aston Martin), como no podía ser de otra forma, han alzado la voz y enviado cartas de protesta a la FIA, alegando que esta interpretación va en contra del espíritu de la normativa y rompe la pretendida igualdad de condiciones antes de que la temporada siquiera comience. El lío ya está sobre la mesa: la FIA actúa con tibieza (al menos en ese sentido son coherentes: nunca se mojan). Han defendido que los motores son legales según el reglamento vigente, porque cumplen con la medición establecida. También ha dejado entrever que en el futuro podrían ajustarse procedimientos o textos para cerrar la laguna, pero por ahora la situación se mantiene sin una resolución clara. ¿Qué podría pasar a menos de un mes de que arranquen los primeros motores? Más allá de quién tenga razón, el lío es real: si esta interpretación sigue siendo válida, Mercedes y Red Bull podrían entrar en 2026 con una clara ventaja de rendimiento (una vez más). Y eso beneficiaría, también, a todos los equipos que utilicen sus unidades de potencia (4 motorizados por Mercedes, entre ellos, McLaren; y 2 motorizados por Red Bull Powertrains – Ford). Está claro que se crearía un desequilibrio técnico y competitivo que, desde ya, amenaza con marcar la primera parte de la era 2026.

In this episode of the Better With Running podcast, hosts Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman welcome back Run2PB athlete and Bendigo Bat, Kate Clarke to share her remarkable transformation. Since beginning her journey with Run2PB, Kate has achieved staggering progress under the guidance of Coach Chris, shaving 25 minutes off her half-marathon PB, 10 minutes off her 10km, and recently breaking the 25-minute barrier for the 5km at Albert Park. Her journey has seen her hit recently 50km-per-week athlete which highlights the power of structured training and a dedicated mindset.Beyond the garmin, Kate discusses the vital role running plays in balancing her high-pressure career as an event producer. Often working 12-to-16-hour days on her feet, she relies on her morning miles for mental clarity and essential "me-time." Kate has also become a fixture in the Athletics Victoria (AV) community and also created a tradition of themed baking. From "yo-yo" shortbreads for Ballarat to her famous brownies for Burnley.A major key to Kate's recent performance jump was her work with nutritionist Jessica Rothwell. She shares the "game-changing" realisation that she needed to view fueling as "adding another meal" to support both her training and her demanding job. We also get an insight into her "chaotic" but lovable training partner—Alfie the Labradoodle. . She also reflects on the electric atmosphere of the Sydney Marathon weekend, where she joined the 10km event while supporting her friend Looking ahead to 2026, Kate and Chris emphasize the importance of keeping the "fun" in the process. After a season of massive breakthroughs, she is currently embracing a period of "running, not racing" as she prepares for the next XCR calendar. Her story is a testament to how structured coaching, proper fueling, and connecting with the running community can lead to improvements both on the road and in daily life.

A little Christmas message to our lovely listeners from Pat before we re-ignite the chat about 2026 regulations. Last episode of the season until we recommence before pre-season testing!! The FIA's 2026 Formula 1 regulations are here... and they're massive. Smaller cars, active aero, 50/50 hybrid power, and fully sustainable fuel will change the sport forever. In this Paddock 43 mini, we break down what's coming, why the rules matter, and how it will shape the grid from Mercedes and Ferrari to Red Bull. Whether you're a die-hard F1 fan or planning your first trip to Albert Park, this is everything you need to know before the biggest reset since 2014.

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we bring you an episode from Inheriting Season One. Inheriting is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In part two of Carol Kwang Park’s story, we follow Carol’s journey to connect more deeply with her family – and introduce the family-led conversations that are central to Inheriting. Decades after the 1992 LA Uprising, Carol finally learns what her mom experienced during the riots and how she made it back home. It allows for a better understanding of her mother, as well as her family’s journey leading up to the Uprising – which she never had as a child. For the first time, Carol also talks to her brother, Albert Park, about what it was like to work at the gas station as kids, especially around the time of the Uprising. Content Warning: This episode contains racial slurs and discusses police brutality.
