So here it is – an ALL-NEW format for our Mustang Owner’s Podcast that incorporates several different aspects of the Mustang hobby all in a single, fast-paced episode that we call the “Mustang Roundup.” Why did we try this? Because we’d received so many emails about how we can keep growing the Mustang Owner’s Podcast that we thought it’s time to test out some format enhancements.You’ll recall that John spent a whole episode seeking your input here: It’s Time for Some Mods to Our Podcast –And Your Comments Will Fuel What We Do! Your responses helped us put this first effort together, incorporating many of the “Mods” you suggested in the Comments section and emailed to jclor@carsincontext.com.We’d love to hear what you think.People who’ve known John for many years will see similarities between this Mustang Owner’s Podcast “Roundup” trial episode and John’s popular cable access TV Show, which moved to YouTube years ago as CarsInContextTV - YouTube (Go ahead and check it out for yourself!).

The podcast’s French/banter context suggests it was brought up as a specific car example.","simplifiedExplanation":"The Aston Martin Rapide is a luxury four-door car made by Aston Martin.
