What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love this podcast. I listen to tons of car podcasts, everything from the usual suspects (Spike, Farrah, Behind the Glass, etc etc) — to the auction podcasts from BaT etc — and most of the podcasts that focus on a single marque aren’t great. Porsche-specfic podcasts are exhaustingly self-absorbed and more about some fan club that they’re promoting than the actual podcast. This — by contrast — is exactly the podcast I’d want to make myself. It’s informative. Covers all the models without playing favorites. Great guests. Intelligent talk. Well produced. Deep dives on totally obscure fascinating topics. Historical and current. Yeah, I just love it. Keep up the great work!

The best Rover podcast · Feb 2022

Ike and Steve riff away on all things Series and LR and then some - ask Steve about trenches for varmits and Ike about heated camp seats… requires listening if you are a Series or Defender owner.
