TFL Car Chat - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I got into TFL during Covid and appreciated specifically Andre and Roman making the best of what they could on the new podcast. I still think Roman and Tommy are fantastic. I really enjoy how Nathan moves effortlessly from Trucks with Andre to Cars with Tommy. The only downside is I think Roman has lost his way. I don’t know if he is playing a “grumpy old man” character because he’s trying to reach a specific age group or prepper demographic but at this point I can’t even make it through episodes where he is featured.
Tommy seems to do his best to keep him on the rails but you can see that it’s mostly hopeless.
The strange thing is, when Roman does the video reviews or features with the other guys he is a totally different person. I give the TFL station 5 stars for everything they do except for the TFL Talk’s with Roman.
If the same Roman who does the videos started showing up for the podcast then it would be 5 stars across the board.

I love the TFL trucks podcast, but this one is kind of hit or miss. Lots of good information, but the Tommy and Roman bickering really takes away from the show. Often the bickering and rants don’t even have anything to do with the topic at hand and they completely derail the show. Lately it has gotten so bad I frequently unplug from the show about halfway through. Again, the TFL trucks podcast is great, but this one could use a presentation change.

Oh dear, I highly enjoy listening to Tommy and Roman go back and forth. Tommy has really come into his own in the recent year or two and has great insight and always provides a great counter argument to Roman’s takes, like the debate between the Toyota Landcruiser’s preciousness. I highly recommend listening to these two, as well as all other TFL podcasts.

Tommy, Roman and the gang do an awesome job talking about everything from industry news to their own experiences and reviews. Their banter is entertaining even for someone with limited knowledge of the automotive industry. Can’t say enough good things about this show!

Overall a very entertaining show with awesome content. One massive problem, recently they’ve added Ads mid episode. Usually I have no problem with this as they need to make money somehow. However these ads are so abrasive, they are much louder than the regular episode volume which makes them always hurt my ears and startle me. They also have nothing to do with the content of the podcast? Lastly they interrupt the episodes multiple times randomly, there is no “ad break” or warning, just mid sentence interruptions. Very off putting and just make me dread listening as I am just waiting for the next random ear blast multiple times per episode.

Please redo/remove these random ads as they have ruined the recent listening experience.

I’ve been a long time subscriber and watcher of TFL studios. The content has always been the best. Recently, I’ve noticed a trend of “rants” about misinformation and political bias, but the reality is, Roman specifically is politically biased himself. It is the ultimate form of Hypocrisy. They always say if you don’t like it then don’t listen or watch and they have gotten their wish. I just want to enjoy an automotive show about cars. Not personal opinion.
