    I listen to many podcasts, but I am almost as religious with the CarDealer as I am with the Archers (I never ever miss an episode of the everyday story of country folk). On a few occasions, I have been moved to send you a comment, generally an adulation. Most recently, you were late back from your jollies and I was wondering if you were okay or being held by customs with

  • Stories are good

    Used to be better, spends most of the podcast talking to the guest these days, my advise would be fast forward to halfway or the last 1/3 if you want to get to the stories. If they spent more time on stories it would be a great podcast.

  • Awkward at times

    The thing that saves the show is the industry guests that come on. However so often they don’t get a chance to speak and are left to quietly sit in the background while the hosts rabbit on. I really want to hear from them to be honest. A great opportunity missed.

    I feel for Beck. She’s been tirelessly doing her best to host the show but is clearly uncomfortable behind the mic. I actually feel uncomfortable when she speaks to a guest. You may want to look at shaking things up.

Geely launches in UK, Robert Forrester hits out at 'Motability tax', and how quickly should a dealer answer the phone? - with Nic Thomas, episode 228
Q: Nick, you've worked for Ford, you've worked for Nissan. What's it like working for a Chinese company compared to them?
It's more about the challenge of working in a startup, I think. Chang'an is a 160-year-old company, but in the UK, we're a startup, which requires a lot of effort and long hours.
