ABOUT US

A comic-style illustration of a male sports commentator on the left, wearing a white shirt with blue accents, holding a microphone and appearing surprised. A female reporter on the right, with long blonde hair, holds a camera and looks skeptical. Both are at a sports stadium with microphones and media badges, with a background of a baseball field and stadium seating.

Welcome to 15 Heats Later — the unofficial voice of Poole Pirates Speedway fans, and the next chapter of what you might’ve known as PirateCast. Same hosts, same obsession, same blue-and-white heartbeat — Lee Tyers and Beth Sims-Tyers, lifelong Pirates supporters who’ve been living and breathing Poole since 1987 & 2002 respectively.

But here’s the twist: 2026 is the reset. PirateCast didn’t die — it evolved. We became 15 Heats Later with one goal: put the fans back in the driver’s seat. More supporter interaction. More call-outs. More “what the hell was he doing in Heat 3?!” energy. The kind of proper, no-nonsense speedway chat you get leaning on the fence with a drink in one hand and an opinion in the other.

We’re here for the big nights, the bad calls, the blown starts, the death-defying passes, and the moments that make you walk out of Wimborne Road either buzzing… or absolutely fuming. We’ll still hit the latest news, fixtures, results, and the week’s key talking points — but the heart of the show is the discussion. Your takes. Your questions. Your arguments. Your predictions that go horribly wrong by Heat 4. And when we can, we’ll bring in the occasional guest connected to the Pirates to add a bit of inside flavour and fuel the debate even more.

If you’re Poole through and through, you’ll fit right in.
