  • Great automotive podcast

    Love the full length podcasts. Not a big fan of Brad’s short updates with the AI “guest hosts” Just my opinion.

  • Weeell mostly

    I’ve been listening to the regular show for years. Enjoy the banter between the guys. Entertaining and informative. BUT…..this new thing Brad is trying is hilarious! Shift and Steer in five is just so bad. Lol. He’s tried several co-hosts and tried a few different ways to do it but it sounds so unnatural I keep thinking it’s AI. Although I think AI might possibly sound better. They sound so robotic and obviously scripted that it’s almost comical. I wish Brad would listen to himself and realize h... more

Then a minute later they say we gotta take a break for a sponsor but there is no commercials and they continue the show. Makes the show sound disjointed like they are just starting out in the podcasting world. You’d never know th... more
