The Saturday morning kids show of auto podcasts

I’m with most other reviewers: this is the baby food version of an educational podcast about cars. Scripted and inoffensive to the point of blandness, the only info I took away from this series is that Sara is in Berlin and Jonathan seems permanently scarred by winters in New Hampshire.

This podcast shows how completely tone deaf BMW is. Instead of respecting listeners, this pablum comes off as both inauthentic and infuriating.

winter olympics
