- Nolan is great but this show needs more than one host
The new format isn’t working, the writing is good but Nolan lacks energy without anyone to banter with/respond to. Hopefully they change things up, I’ll wait until then to start listening

Nolan is great, but bring back the boys
Apple Podcasts2JakerBrakerUnited States17 days ago - New Format
Really enjoying the new format, and the deeper dive you are giving to the topics. However like many others I miss the banter between Nolan, Bart, and Joe. Maybe on the next season we could bring back Bart even if for only a cameo. Regardless I have loved the Golden Era of JDM, and Nolan is doing an amazing job telling the story!

You tried but it’s not working. Yes it’s more cost effective to have hosts do individual shows but not if we stop listening. The content is great & Nolan is doing a great job reading the content, but that’s what it feels like, just content. I listened in the past for the banter between ALL THREE HOSTS and that’s what is missing.
Like when Jeremy, Richard & James were together, they were like 3 perfectly balanced pistons working together to create the perfect engine, way more than each could eve... more
