Podcasts are an excellent source to learn information, and this holds true for the auto industry as well. Robert Taurosa provides a few of the best automotive podcasts for car lovers.

1. THE BEST AUTOMOTIVE
PODCASTS
Car Talk:
Robert Taurosa

2. CAR TALK, NPR
Even those who don’t
know their tailpipe from
their carburetor will
enjoy this hilarious
production, which was
hosted by Tom and Ray
Magliozzi (also known
as “Click and Clack”)
until Tom’s death in
2014. Fortunately for
audiences, episodes
continue to be available
through NPR, and the
humor and insight found
here are timeless..

3. CARSTUFF, HOW
STUFF WORKS
This family-friendly
podcast is an excellent
option for young children
who have an interest in
cars, as its content is
informative without being
too technical. Episodes are
built around an underlying
theme–think “The Ten Best
SUVs” and that sort of
thing–and co-hosts Scott
Benjamin and Ben Bowlin
make for an engaging
team.

4. THE SMOKING
TIRE
Join hosts Matt Farah and Zack Klapman as they
chat with professional drivers, comedians, and
other big names in the automotive industry.
Director of photography Thad Brown keeps things
hip and lively with his unique visual flair, and the
banter is quick-witted and informative.

5. SKIDMARKS
SHOW
This show represents a
welcome change of
pace, as Ethan
Demetrius and Jeff
Allen like to mix it up
with broadcasts
featuring rock stars and
other celebrities, in
addition to the usual
car-shop talk. It’s a
winning combination by
any standards.

6. CARCAST
Funnyman Adam Carolla
co-hosts this program,
along with knowledgeable
automotive vet Matt
D’Andria (Winning: The
Racing Life of Paul
Newman). They’re known
for serving up some big
laughs alongside the sweet
rides, and fans of their
earlier work will certainly
appreciate their latest
efforts.

7. THE DEALER
PLAYBOOK
PODCAST
While the show is focused around success in the
automotive industry, anyone who’s looking for tips on
how to succeed in the business world, in general, would
do well to give it a spin. It provides an excellent,
informative way for self-professed “car nerds” to share
their passion with less-enthusiastic loved ones, without
being too heavy-handed.
