On May 24, 2026, Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton finished second at the Canadian Grand Prix, securing his best race result of the season.
But while sports analysts dissected the race, the true-crime podcasting world was looking back at a very different kind of performance. On My Favorite Murder, hosts Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark revisited their experience attending the musical Hamilton. Hardstark asked, "Did I already tell you about going to Hamilton? Did I talk about it on the show already?", before the duo launched into a glowing discussion of its quality and cultural impact.
This unbridled enthusiasm stands in contrast to the broader cultural conversation surrounding the musical. While some history and theater podcasts have spent recent years criticizing the show's historical inaccuracies and questioning its lasting legacy, the true-crime duo remained firmly in the camp of pure appreciation, praising its artistic execution and cultural significance.
As the stage production of Hamilton continues its global touring runs and Lewis Hamilton carries his newfound racing momentum into the next rounds of the Formula 1 calendar, both namesakes are poised to remain central topics of discussion in the audio landscape.
