What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Lennie Lawson is a hidden gem. Stumbled across this show from Greeneville, Tennessee and the stories and advice Lennie gives about the auto industry (being a lifelong dealer) as well as some life advice coming from somebody who’s seen it all, it’s super refreshing and helpful. I’m honored to call Lennie friend and he always treats everybody as such. The show is funny and insightful, with a Lennie twist of wacky in there for good measure. You’ll really enjoy this!
