Podholic: Spike’s Car Radio
/Think cars. Think coffee. Think comedy.
EVER craved for an automotive podcast that doesn’t take life too seriously? Well, the American crew at Spike’s Car Radio has you covered. (https://audioboom.com)
The weekly pod is hosted by Spike Feresten, whose creative writing talents have been the driving force behind TV shows like The Simpsons and David Letterman. Also co-hosting is massive Porsche fan and lawyer Paul Zuckerman, resulting in a dynamic duo that regularly features a cache of celebrity guests and industry personalities.
One of those regulars is a guy named Jerry - you may have seen him before on TV on a show called Seinfeld? He and other guests such as Motortrend's Jonny Lieberman and the smoking tire's Matt Farah bring comedic light relief to the world of news and automotive culture.
On the flip side, some may find the pod a little extravagance-heavy with discussion often understeering off-tangent towards sponsors that sell expensive goods - and there’s a lot of Porsche talk (but who doesn’t like a good 911, though).
If you can get past that, there is an enjoyable bounty of episodes to choose from, including interviews with actors Matt Damon and Christian Bale (stars of the Ford vs Ferrari movie). Not to mention the colourful exchanges with rude buyers and Paul Zuckerman’s encounter with faecal Frank that will have you grinning ear to ear.
So, the next time you’re on the road, Bluetooth or CarPlay Spike’s Car Radio through your speakers for an aural experience that will have you hungry for more.
