    Today’s podcast is all static ?!?
    Technical issues?

    Still miss the magazine😂
    I have absolutely no use for bronco, new or old! But I still listen and mostly enjoy it.
  • Danny Kinney
    Fun and Exciting time
    What a great show. Wesley is always upbeat and the podcast is a great place to hear all your auto-sport news. 🙏
  • BuckeyeBum
    Really Enjoyable
    Everything you need to know and also some insight into some of the articles written during the week. Always like to hear about the reasons for the stories and the additional behind the story information that didn’t make it to print. The video shorts which are done from a car with someone news worthy have been fun to watch. Keep going and keep letting us know what the writers are up to with their personal vehicles.

    Detroit’s Own Autoweek Pod
    I’m a very long time subscriber to Autoweek Magazine. After a rough start the podcast has grown, with Rory & crew to be great. Love the different segments: auto sport, events and of course the reviews. Keep going!!! 67gearhead19
  • fastidious fred
    Autoweek pod cast
    Really bad public speaker Rory. No focused leadership of discussions. NO umms arrs errs EVER. Your only good speaker is the road test editor despite the gratuitous expletives. Extremely limited understanding of F1 with great animosity towards the subject. Not enough car info. Not interested in your drinking habits. NEVER drink and drive. Stick to writing articles, almost invariably good. Editorials not so much. Keep up the good work. Work on the bad parts. This was when magazine was still being published. Now podcast is worth listening to.

    I love the weekly podcast. You guys make me laugh! Keep up the great work. Long time reader and podcast listener from the start Jeff
  • tonyinosaka
    Disappointed
    As a (very) long time Autoweek reader/fan, I was excited when I learned there would be an Autoweek podcast. I've tried listening to at least 5 episodes and couldn't finish one. Awful signal-to-noise ratio (info, not audio), arrogance, and blatant disrespect for audience. There's definitely a need for what the podcast was intended to deliver, but this doesn't fill it.
  • tothemax24
    Thumbs up
    Love the racing coverage. Love discussions about car movies. Would like to hear more from Natalie. Would Farley consider a guest appearance? Autoweek subscriber since 1996.
  • AutoweekGeek
    Everything that’s not fit to print
    I only recently got hooked on podcasts. My passions are soccer, science & technology, Detroit and all things automotive. Been an Autoweek subscriber since the early 80’s and when I started searching for podcasts for my library I saw that Autoweek had one and I thought I would give it a try. I am glad that I did because it give me a chance to hear things about cars, races and events that only scratch the surface in the magazine. I love all the different points of view on the panel too. I also appreciate the guests that call in covering all forms of racing. I just downloaded the most recent episode and can’t wait to tear about all things rally racing. Go Jimmy! Last thing though, has anyone found Rory’s stolen car yet? Keep up the great work!
  • In the tall weeds
    Great potential wasted on condescending host
    As an avid, long time reader of Autoweek, I really want to like their podcast. One hallmark of the Autoweek podcast is their focus on racing. They do a nice job and I appreciate their deep knowledge of the sport. Unfortunately, the other hallmark of the Autoweek podcast is the know-it-all host. He constantly overrules and interrupts his cohosts and clearly views his own opinions as being far superior to theirs. The Audi e-Tron discussion was a painful example of this podcast at its worst. How about more talk about your road tests and driving experiences? That’s one of the core strengths of Autoweek that is painfully absent from most of the episodes.
  • HuskymanA1C
    Fun podcast
    Yes, it’s probably overlong. Yes, it’s probably too casual for those who think it should be as professionally done as “This American Life “. And yes there are plenty of on- and off-ramps to nowhere. But that’s the fun. It reminds me of my SCCA club get togethers in BBQ restaurants with a side of cold beers. Keep up the good work, I enjoy listening to it on my 4 hr drives to the weekend house. Thanks.
  • Steve JS
    Yes, it is good now!
    When this podcast began I was barely able to stay with it. The only reason I did was that I have been an Autoweek subscriber for forty years. The level of the podcast is right there either the magazine. They cover a broad range of topics in good tightly packaged form. Nice Job!
  • Legalice
    Love the show
    Really enjoy the banter and casual conversation. The note about the Gremlin brought back memories of youth. Please please do an extended segment on tools. It would be awesome. Send me swag! Or just keep doing what you do! Greg S. Versailles KY

    Top Review for some random crap
    Here’s to hitting the coveted 30 podcast mark, and to another semi-sober 30 🍻 So what’s this I hear about getting random desk crap for a 5 Star-Rating?
  • RogerQu
    Average
    The group that participate in this podcast are really knowledgeable car guys. The thing that bothers me is they never really share much real car information. They tried way too hard to explain that their podcast was going to be spooky and not scary and it was neither. Nor was it even mildly entertaining. I think I’m going to take some time off of this one maybe it will improve with time. It’s a shame because I really like the magazine. It’s getting better. Although the fact that they are so focused on American cars and US racing is odd. Cars are global. Not sure they ever leave Detroit.
  • adamada13
    Such a good time
    This is a great show. The presenters are real car people with real opinions and real car struggles. They’re friendly enough to laugh at themselves and one another. Good stuff.

    Actually Good Now, Really
    Look, buddy, I know there’s not a lot of great automotive podcasts out there that are really worth listening to. The plight of the automotive podcast enthusiast is real: these RSS feeds are a Mad Max wasteland of meager content and pivoting to video. However, may I submit for your consideration the Autoweek Podcast? It’s actually good now, really. Hey, things started a bit rough for these guys, back in their fledgling days with tricky audio and awkward first live interview or two. But you know what? These guys just kept at it. And hoo boy, amigo, they’re going places. So why not hop on the train now, so you can tell all your comrades at the track day “pffft dude I listened to the Autoweek Podcast before it was cool” and everyone will like you and probably buy you drinks and stuff? Anyway, their interviews are solid, their audio is good, and, like all good radio, it feels like you’re eavesdropping on a fascinating conversation with some industry, cultural, and motorsports insiders with plenty of wit and maybe even charm? Maybe. It’s good. You can download it now, this review is pretty much finished anyway.
  • junkman356
    Great stuff!
    Great interaction among the extremely knowledgeable hosts and the best guests of any automotive podcast.
  • StuFras
    Unlistenable and I am a car guy/mag reader
    Sorry guys- I tried. It was a rough start to the podcast that never got better. Arrogant host belittling his support cast of car nerds. Sarcasm is the name of the game for this one. Be forewarned. 5 star reviews are not earned, but rewarded with promotional items.
  • 92NA
    Love the Podcast
    I am a long term print subscriber and have listened to every podcast episode—even the one non-canon episode—in its entirety, yes, even the Monster Trucks movie review. Whether or not swag is coming my way is irrelevant, I’m a huge fan! Keep up the great work!
  • johnjohr
    Top podcast!
    Car fans unite! Such a fun show, great hosts, informative, funny, down to earth... can’t ask for much else. Get in there!

    This is my favorite automotive podcast
    This is my favorite automotive podcast. Cool people that would be fun to wrench in the garage with.

    Great show
    Consistently look forward to your show, keep it up.
  • 8252ipod
    Great podcast
    I listen to 10+ podcast week all automotive in this is my for the best. Great coverage of motorsports, DIY, driving impressions, and news with great humor mixed in
  • jbj3404
    Brings the magazine and staff to life!!
    I have enjoyed Autoweek in print for over 30 years. What a pleasure it is to get to hear some of my favorite contributors discuss current car topics as well as in-depth conversations around motorsports and the history of racing. The banter and interplay between the hosts and guests is truly entertaining and informative.
  • garakawa
    Love the Banter!
    I just found this show. I’m an Auto Week subscriber and love the show! I especially love the banter! Keep it up! Especially news re endurance racing and F1! Thanks!
  • Waxed and not confused
    A pretty good podcast
    Auto racing, the business of auto racing, cars and the car business, car movies, people doing stupid stuff with cars and other loosely related stories are all here argued about by clever and knowledgeable people.
  • tom becker
    Love the Mag; Done With Podcast
    I appreciate that you guys want us to feel at home around your table discussions, but I could use a bit more fit and finish. I find the banter tedious, and I don't enjoy fast-forwarding through it to get topics I care about. I bet you could spruce-up the production pretty easily and keep it to thirty minutes or so-just the right length for my workouts and attention span! Keep up the excellent writing, pursuit of motor sport, and smart cultural commentary. Unless things change on the audo side, I'll be sticking exclusively with the print. Cheers!
  • IndyBoilers
    Please adjust mike loudness
    Not sure how the pros like Adam Curry and John C Dvorak of No Agenda podcast consistenly produce very well modulated amplitude/loudness podcasts, but it would be GREAT if you could figure out the best mics to use, a CONSISTENT manner with which to engage those mics, preclude from engaging in one-up gamesmanship of talking over one another, and perhaps post-edit produce them to equalize for spoken word content. Man, I'm picky. But all I do is listen to spoken word product, earn income for my family to take, and drive freaking amazing cars DAM ned fast on TRACKs
  • Mog V6
    Unedited editors
    Autoweek magazine is so well done, tightly edited, well integrated with photos, charts and lucid comments...all on point and meaningful and in a compact package. This pod cast is a shambles... a bunch of guys sitting around a table, trying to be cute with unedited rambling about lots of stuff, often unrelated to the subject your reader wants to know. In episode 11 you talked for 10 minutes or more about golf!!! Lots of "uh" and "do you know how to operate this machine?". Utter disorganization. Guys, make a plan, create a leader to keep the conversation on point, segment the show to lead to something. You can do better and make the time more meaninful for your listeners. And do it in 20 minutes, not an hour plus. Right now, it is a total waste of time and your effort.
  • dstaub1992
    A very good start
    Really good hosts. Great to hear from Shirley M. - wise to just let her talk rather than read through a list of questions.
