WELCOME to The Driver's Show! Listen to this first...
WELCOME to The Driver's Show - the show that famously had to change its name due to an alleged trademark infringement by a whiny legacy media corporation. ANYWAY, The Driver's Show is hosted by Paul Maric and Gordie Waters. Paul is a motoring expert with 20 years experience and founder of CarExpert.com.au, while Gordie is in 'show biz', working in radio for a major FM station. This podcast is explicit, there are lots of swear words and jokes that probably won't be funny. So please don't listen if you have sensitive ears...or kids. We cover all the latest news in the car industry, we review the latest cars on the market and sometimes you'll even learn something. If you want to get in touch with us, email [email protected] or find us on Instagram at @thedriversshow.com.au As always, we love your feedback. Please don't forget to leave us a rating on any platform you listen on!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
