In case you hadn’t noticed, we've been cramming PistonHeads with as many newfangled features as possible of late. A couple of years back, we introduced auctions as another way to buy your dream car (or sell the one you already have to its next owner). We’ve been making our events bigger and better to give you more excuses (as if they were needed) to jump in your pride and joy and show it off to like-minded people. Now, we’ve added another string to add to our bow, and it’s one we should have done a long time ago. Folks, PH is doing a podcast, and it’s called The Gassing Station powered by Michelin.
Let’s not beat around the bush: the car world isn’t exactly short of podcasts right now. Our friends at Smith and Sniff have been at the sharp end of the charts for yonks, and they’re surrounded by some seriously big names that have been in the game a heck of a long time. We therefore didn’t want to make ‘just another car podcast’. Oh no. We wanted to make something that felt (or sounded?) like a proper PistonHeads podcast, one that brings all things PH into an hour’s worth of car chat.
The name, ‘The Gassing Station’, should be a bit of a giveaway as to what we’re up to. Each week, we’ll trawl through the forums for the topics that have got everybody talking. We’ll kick things off with something current, either a news story or a review, going through your responses before offering up our own, unless we get completely sidetracked and get stuck down a tangent cul-de-sac. When that happens, we’ll move on to some buying queries, taking topics from the buying advice forum and offering up our picks from the auctions or classifieds that fit the criteria. To end, we’ll find a topic that’s a bit more off the beaten path, whether that be the best cars for tip runs, advice for supercar parking - or something completely unrelated like how to organise a potting shed. The possibilities really are endless.
As for the hosts, we’ve got our own Cam Tait in one seat, with long-time PistonHeads contributor, John Howell, sat in the other. And in the not-too-distant future, this unlikely pairing will be joined by a guest (and we’ve got some really special ones lined up), so watch this space. Or, you know, subscribe to The Gassing Station on your podcast platform of choice (or watch on our YouTube channel) to stay up to date with all the latest episodes. We can’t wait to share more, but for now, sink your teeth into an hour of Cam and John bickering. You should feel right at home.
