Bring a Trailer Podcast

Wanted to like this, but the staggering amount of times that car models or trims are questioned or given an “oh I didn’t even know that existed” especially on pretty typical enthusiast stuff which should be a requisite considering BaT audience. The show seems to be hosted by multiple people who are not car guys. Gave it several tries and was just a repeating thing. Needs revamp with knowledgeable hosts.

This podcast is hosted by very passionate car enthusiasts. They stir it up and find a way to drop references to seemingly countless marques every episode . Keeps you on your toes. Also like real valley girls of old they say “omg, TOTALLY ….” literally countless times per episode if that’s your jam. Good stuff

I had to laugh at Keith Martin’s claim that BAT auction write ups were ‘direct’ when every claim about the car’s condition is in the passive voice (e.g., ‘the engine was reportedly rebuilt’. Just say who rebuilt it. Or at least who reported that it was rebuilt!).

Insightful hosts, great guests, and banter to spare.

Content: Killer. Delivery: it’s time to step it up guys. Start with the simple hack, no fancy equipment needed. Each party records into his/her phone via AirPods or headphones along with the chosen communication medium which always seems to be a zoom call from the echoiest room available. Then splice the audio tracks together in GarageBand or iMovie or similar. I’m an idiot and can do that, you can too. Yeah, it’s a bit of work, but the content is worth it, and surely there’s a teenager hanging around somewhere that can whip it together for the price of a pizza. Thanks.
