I've never really been into Podcasts before, but I now have Android Auto and realised I can use the Pocket Casts app. The radio bores me generally, and sometimes you don't want to listen to music, so thought I'd give podacasts a try.

I've started listening ot a few, but haven't found anything that really scratches my petrolhead itch. Intereted in anything from car reviews, motorsport to spannering. If anyone has any specific recommendations it would be great to hear them.

F1: Beyond the Grid. Great in-depth and interesting interviews, I don't watch F1 any more but really enjoy the podcasts. Well worth a listen.

Showing my age here and not sure where you'd find the back catalogue, but I used to listen to the F1Rejects podcast when it was going. Not really a useful suggestion given F1rejects.com has disappeared into the ether of internet mythicalness.

There is a tribute forum running for reject appreciation at gprejects.com ... you might get lucky and find an archive of old podcasts somewhere if you have a bizarre fascination to listen to reviews of F1 races/seasons of yesteryear with a slant/focus on mediocrity and just out and out cackhanded awfulness.

Any votes for Midweek Motorsports? Over at Radiolemans.com .... been going 15 years now

Not really a podcast as such but the youtube channel Smith and Sniff could conceivably be just "listened" to given that it's just 2 blokes driving around/sitiing eating snacks in whatever car they've managed to blag using their journo credentials, and just talking bollards and going off at tangents for about 20 odd mins.
