Automotive news served with British sarcasm.

BORN from the sparks of a Twitter/X debate lamenting the scarcity of motoring news podcasts, the no-nonsense-named ‘The Motoring Podcast’ is an auditory journey for Britons Alan Bradley and Andrew Clews.

Episodes of 40 to 60 minutes’ duration mainly navigate the United Kingdom’s automotive scene, but they will accelerate into the global sphere as well.

The pod discussion is diverse. Infuriating roading standards. Emissions squabbles. New car sales trends are dissected. The world’s most visually striking vehicles celebrated. Motorsport news doesn’t make the cut, but other great podcasts scratch that itch.

The show doesn't necessarily break new ground when measured against other news-driven, magazine-style automotive podcasts, but the accuracy and thoughtful exploration of the industry's nuances are standout factors.

Commitment to integrity is appreciated - these hosts always cite their information sources.

Coverage of this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was noteworthy, particularly in respect to the impending proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in vehicles.

Alan and Andrew are surgical in picking away the hype. They question AI’s reliability and question the "intelligence" of technology when it parrots misleading online information. It was hard to disagree with their concerns.

Sometimes chat can become a bit of a vent, but some delightful British sarcasm that waves like a playful car on a twisty road adds entertainment and saves the day. The ride is as enjoyable as it is informative and arguments well-considered and sharp.

There are no potholes in the auditory experience, with high-quality sound production and minimal adverts to distract.

The Motoring Podcast will appeal to those who appreciate insightful, engaging automotive news. The humour, analysis and hosts’ dedication to this subject make it a worthy companion.
