  • Experts who don’t bite their tongue - and they’re funny!

    I was an automotive media professional for seven years, and Victoria/Jordan know their stuff. They give a perspective on car culture that is rarely represented in the modern media environment, not to mention make it a fun listen. The single best, most important new automotive podcast in many years, without question.
