New RV Show and The Weekly Driver Find Way in Heavy Podcast Traffic
A woman drove onto the lawn at The Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel Valley in a dark blue new RollsRoyce Ghost. Everyone attending the private event at Monterey Auto Week in 2017 simultaneously turned to look at the artwork on wheels.
A few minutes later, the RollsRoyce was humbled by a local guy who arrived in his pristine, bright red 1955 Ford F-100. The new $500,000 rarity of English workmanship was “runner-up” to a 62-year-old $12,000 pickup truck.
The occasion, an interview with the truck’s owner, and visits to the Mecum Auction and other events were the subject of The Weekly Driver Podcast debut.
Co-host Bruce Aldrich, a producer, photographer, videographer and long-time friend, and I are now approaching four years and 175 episodes.
Automotive podcasts abound. Enthusiasts can catch up on the industry while cruising down the highway or in any situation in which “talk radio” seems like a good idea.
The Weekly Driver Podcast is an extension of TheWeeklyDriver. com, the website published since 2004. All of our podcast episodes are archived and are also available
on all major podcasts outlets, Apple to Spotify, Google to Stitcher. Every episode lasts about 30 minutes. The podcast is free. (Donations are accepted.)
We’ve interviewed manufacturer CEOs, car collectors, automotive book authors, industry analysts, athletes, a movie stuntman and a pioneering woman motorcycle racer. We’ve reported from the Los Angeles Auto Show and we’ll be back at Monterey Auto Week in August.
In our latest episode, The Weekly Driver Podcast covered a new area. As podcast hosts, we interviewed another podcast host, Scott Linden.
