  • Used to be so good

    It was my favourite podcast, but this new format is awful. It’s just a lowly car related late night talk show with nothing left of what made it great. Not worth the time anymore.

  • Not for me

    Came over for James Pumphrey but barley got to hear what he had to say as a guest and the show just lacks any real structure to what is being discussed. However the constant and abrupt ad breaks were the worse offender. They were too long, too many, and just cut off conversations making it unbearable. This podcast is just not for me.

  • The best

    Best car pod in the world … funny eccentric offbeat … they even have a Tesla fan boy who whilst unbearable is countered in his flag waving by Spike and Zuckerman.

  • Too political

    Unsubscribing from everything JL. Didn’t listen to these pods to hear people bash religion and name call. Goodbye.

  • What a waste of time

    Ever since they switched to the “YouTube” format, the show went from Good to Insufferable - just bad - I looked forward to this show every week, and now I’m done. I can’t stand it, yuck.
