Jhae has a way of broaching complicated controversial and divisive topics in a way that makes all sides feel heard. That ability as a communicator is essential in connecting with all sides of an equation with no ego attached.
Hard parking podcast is my favorite to tune into because you never know what character you’re going to get to hear from or their wild stories.
Welcome to the internets best and only non-automotive automotive podcast, with your host, Jhae Pfenning.
Keep it up, champ!
I like the variety since I already have plenty of podcasts I subscribe to that are solely car focused. However, the 2 start deduction comes from the occasional political discussions. It’s a political year so it’s understandable and I get to question everything that is and isn’t reported, but man, some of the things are obviously fake (e.g. recent episode’s ABC “whistleblower”)
Great job Jhae! I enjoy the show each week simply because you mix it up and give us new content to listen to each week! Keep killing it!
I hate when politics enter the chat with idiots out of their depth. Left or right. You sound stupid talking about things you obviously don’t know about. I started listening recently and it’s not that entertaining but somewhat informative. Pick a lane and try to succeed at that and not give voice to people talking out the side of their neck. Not here for election talk on a access tv level podcast.
I really enjoy the broad range of topics discussed. Easy listening on my way to/from work. Some discussions make me wish I could call in and join the conversation.
Highly recommended.
