What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m a longtime fan of Stacey’s and have always enjoyed watching him on TV. I now enjoy listening to him usually on my way to work. Stacey is a great friend to the automotive enthusiast community. His Podcast are just like his show Gearz quick to the point, full of useful information and entertaining. I’ve had the opportunity to meet Stacey twice and he seems just as genuine in person as on TV or his Podcast. 5 Stars!!

As a car guy you are always looking for inspiration and content on your passion. This podcast fills it all. Stacey David has been showing people how to build projects for years ,and his podcast continues to do just that. Great stories, great tips and great information for a gearhead.

DisneyLouisiana · Jan 2022

Stacy, have to write that while the TV show was OK, this podcast is more enjoyable. Maybe because you’re not pushed to time, but I look forward to each show. The podcast is also has a nice production quality. The volume is clear, high enough and level regardless of who is speaking. Nothing more irritating to the listener than 1) not speaking loud enough or even worse, having one person that can barely be heard, then a BOOMING voice comes in. Great job and thank you for doing the cast!

Henry's Son · Dec 2021

I’ve watched Stacey on TV since his first episode. He is the most informative automotive personality on TV. I love how he walks you through projects and then sends you out to do it. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him a couple years back at his studio open house. He treated me and everyone else like long time friends it was great. He even took the time to give me his advice on a project I was thinking about doing and sent me on a much better path than where I was headed. Now I can binge his shows on Prime and now this podcast how awesome is that! 5 Stars!!!! Looking forward to more great episodes.
