THIS CAR POD! with Doug DeMuro & Friends! - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Has me listening to episodes over and over (which I’ve never done with any other podcast) and has me questioning if I should quit my very good paying job to become and intern with C&B just so I can have a front row seat.

Doug & crew do a great job of keeping the topics fresh by covering the news and other topical stories about cars. I like that they talk generally about all cars - enthusiast cars and consumer cars, modified and unmodified, luxury and sports, they cover pretty much everything and do it in a succinct and entertaining way

I’m a big fan of Doug’s automotive content, and appreciate this show’s comfortable and causal feel. That approach is also what’s holding it back slightly. I think Doug knows how to talk on a podcast, having so much experience in front of the camera and as a guest on other shows. The problem is his “friends” talk so fast and mumble half the time to a point where on a flight I slowed the playback speed to 0.75 and laughed at how “normal” they sounded. With a tweak of journalism training and realizing they’re doing a show and not actually just sitting in the garage shooting the breeze, and these guys would have a really solid show. Doug is friends with Matt and Zack from The Smoking Tire and maybe he can bring his friends up to LA to learn a bit about how to level up a podcast.

Adding this to weekly listening for sure. Been looking for another entertaining car pod & already ripped through all the episodes.

The number and frequency of ads, often awkwardly inserted mid-conversation, have made this a no-go. Add in the appalling acoustics, and this is no longer worth the download.
