    I listen to many podcasts, but I am almost as religious with the CarDealer as I am with the Archers (I never ever miss an episode of the everyday story of country folk). On a few occasions, I have been moved to send you a comment, generally an adulation.

  • Awkward at times

    The thing that saves the show is the industry guests that come on. However so often they don’t get a chance to speak and are left to quietly sit in the background while the hosts rabbit on. I really want to hear from them to be honest. A great opportunity missed.

    I feel for Beck. She’s been tirelessly doing her best to host the show but is clearly uncomfortable behind the mic. I actually feel uncomfortable when she speaks to a guest. You may want to look at shaking things up.
