.
The best of
Motor trade banter ,not to be missed
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.
Finally the sound quality is often poor. I appreciate everyone is recording remotely but other podcasts are super slick now.
Brilliant
Easy listening and highly entertaining.
