The AutoBlog Podcast
I may not know a lot about cars, but I do recognise a good podcast. This show has been running weekly for about 3 years now, and has just passed the 150 episode mark, Shows are 90 minutes long, and the basic format is a group of guys talking about the latest car news of the week – this podcast being an adjunct of the main news site – Autoblog.
the show works because of the chemistry of the guys. They are unabashed fans of all things large, chromy and shiny, and it doesn’t matter if the cars are cheap or pricey – they’ll have their say about it.
one of the beauties about podcasting is that it can get you interested in things that you previously had no concern in. The voice of passion over-rides all the jargon and specific information – all you hear is the fire in the voice, the argued opinion. It leads one into a field of knowledge, and before you know it, you’ve become an amateur aficionado yourself. A rather scary process, but therein lies the power of the podcast – it’s educational power.
as I listen and learn to all manner of things, I can’t help but feel my mind expanding. That’s why I’m such a true believer is this format.
