Intercooler podcast

[Scrump]

Came as a bit of surprise today to hear the latest podcast from the Intercooler. They are now partnered with Pistonheads. Not sure how many PHers listen to Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel, it will be interesting to see what the partnership brings.

God, Andrew Frankel is terrible

[coppice]

He knows his stuff but his languid, posh boy condescension(counterbalanced by fawning over name guests ) can be hard to stomach . Like his erstwhile colleague Harris , he can forget that interviews are solely about the interviewee . I only listen to the podcasts but despite my criticism I enjoy many of them - I loved the two long interviews with Richard Bremner about BL. A lovely man he is too - dry as a bone wit, erudite and devoid of the macho huff and bluster of some more famous scribblers.

Prosser seems a nice guy - but I do keep shouting at the phone for Dan not to believe half of Frankel's F1 stories . His grasp of the Moss era ("as my friend Stirling once told me ..." )is good but very patchy on later eras.

I've only listened to one podcast of his and when I found he was criticising the 'Fiat Tipo GTI' he lost any credibility whatsoever as there was no such car.

I very rarely listen to their podcast now as Frankel just cannot help but dominate every conversation (with guests or not). Wonder if Dan just got bored of it?

Dan seems like a really good bloke. Hope he goes on to bigger and better things

[deththrasher]

Bummed to see him go, Frankel is one of my favourite journalists but yea lately he very much enjoys the sound of his own voice way too much. No idea if there is any bad blood or he just wants to do something fresh. Good luck to him

Used to enjoy it briefly but stopped listening as I just can't stand listening to Frankel. Seems I'm not alone.

Probably got bored of having to plug the subscription for 4 minutes in every 30 seconds of content.

Exactly the same for me so this is an easy unsubscribe! (From the podcast, I never paid for it!) Will follow Dan with interest to see what he gets up to next.

From their accounts it doesn’t look very solvent.

Yes.. I had a look and it is not in a healthy place.
