  • Good Info, Sub-Par Presentation

    As a bank rep for dealers, I really like the information from this podcast, but it’s really hard to listen to with the presenters stumbling through the script. The guest speakers often present information exponentially better than the host. I can’t help but to compare it to Automotive News’ Daily Drive—which is very smooth.
