  • Finally a voice in the wilderness!

    I stumbled upon this podcast while researching for a class I teach. As an Automotive Technician and Community College Instructor, this podcast gets it. The automotive industry is more advanced than the general public realizes. Great information and resources. I binged so many episodes in the last week. Episode 156 started playing after my advisory commitee meeting where we discussed the topic covered here. I am sharing this with them in the morning.
