Enjoy the content, the 10+mins of adverts per show are really boring. Yes I fast forward but find them disruptive.
Matt Farrah was a great journalist that was objective and entertaining. Unfortunately he’s fallen into the anti Trump politics. I’m hear to learn about the latest cool Porsche, or your aircraft powered dune buggy. I am NOT here to listen to a rant about Trump, Elon Musk, or Tesla, EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. I’ll probably check back in after a couple years, but for now it’s an unfollow from me.
This would have been an okaypod but for the trash language. There are much better out there like Everyday Driver.
The car content is good and I’m a fan of it but all of the politics that Matt brings up gets old quick. I just want to listen to a car podcast not listen to someone belly ach at the state of the country.
Great show for years, but has gone downhill.
