No fluff, no gimmicks, just great guests and topics. I always look forward to this show because I never know what’s coming and I learn so much from every episode. The YouTube videos are great too. Keep up the great work!

MmmHmmBacon · Aug 2024

Maurice does a wonderful job, regardless of the guest or subject. He does his homework and never runs out of questions. Excellent production value with none of the annoying repetitious phrases or words, or very irritating unleveled sound volumes. A job well done………if you are into cars, this one is a MUST!
