The Driver’s Show [E]
What do you get when you combine one of Australia’s leading motoring experts, co-founder of CarExpert.com.au, motoring expert with more motor knowledge and passion than all nine instalments of Fast & Furious combined, and a fast-talking, wise-cracking, radio host with a not-so-secret passion for cars? This. The Driver’s Show. With Paul Maric and Gordie Waters.
No Stig. No Schtick. Just two guys talking about what they know and love – cars. The guys also famously had to change the name of the podcast after receiving legal letters from Nine Entertainment for using the word ‘drive’.
The Driver’s Show with Paul and Gordie is a weekly podcast covering all the latest car news and reviews and even puts a few of Australia’s best loved celebs in the hot seat to see what grinds their gears and revs them up. This podcast is explicit, so it could be worth avoiding it if you have kids in the car!
