Podcasts and cars – they simply go together. Especially on longer journeys they drive away Online-Radio broadcasts banish boredom and, in the best case scenario, not only leave you in a good mood at your destination, but also make you get off the train smarter. In broad Theme offering there are also numerous podcasts that are not only great listen to in the car, but also have the same topic. six Suggestions.
car phone: Something like the classic among the German car podcasts. Motor journalists Stefan Anker and Paul-Janosch Ersing call each other once a week to talk about new cars, current test cars, industry trends and personal experiences with four- or two-wheeled companions. There are always a few humorous anecdotes from decades of experience in the automotive industry. The conversations thrive not least on the different perspectives of their protagonists on polarizing topics such as electric cars, mobility change and the automotive industry in general. // Link // Cover picture of the car phone above
Old school: It remains to be seen whether the car is past its best. Karsten Arndt's podcast, however, looks back with a little nostalgia on the "golden era of the automobile" according to the subtitle. And does that above all in conversation with interesting figures in the scene. Guests are racing drivers, car designers or former top managers. The podcast takes a lot of time, leaves room for biographical and autobiographical things and documents an era that seems to be disappearing. Without sentimentality and whining, but with enthusiasm and appreciation. // Apple Podcast // Spotify
move: Where others look to the past, the “Auto-Motor-und-Sport” podcast looks to the future. The moderators Gerd Stegmaier and Luca Leicht as well as their colleagues Gregor Hebermehl, Patrick Lang and Dirk Gulde, who step in from time to time, question experts from industry and science about possible forms of future mobility, sustainable drives and digital trends. With more than an hour of playing time per episode, this goes into depth, but also brings knowledge gains to those who already think they know their way around. The number of episodes is now gigantic, going back to 2018. // Link // Link to Spotify
Drive first, talk later: The “Autobild” podcast is completely devoted to spoken driving reports. The two editors, Jan Götze and Peter Fischer, take on a single car model once a week, ranging from the Hyundai i20 to the Bentley Flying Spur. In between there is always a classic. After extensive driving, the two describe, explain and evaluate the car in dialogue. Journalistically objective, but with a personal touch. Anyone who likes to read driving reports or wants to find out more about a special car is definitely in the right place here. // Link // Link to Spotify
The Horn: This is where things tend to get a bit nerdy. The journalists Clemens Gleich and Sebastian Bauer not only exchange their own experiences with exotic cars, screw shops and new technologies, but also like to broaden their view to broader trends in the automotive industry and society - from the castles in the air of the e-car launch up scene to the compulsion to do combat cycling to the general state of motor journalism. In addition, unlike other car podcasts, this is also about motorized two-wheelers. The personal interests of the two hosts are the only yardstick for the fairly varied selection and processing of topics - anyone who shares these to some extent will be well informed and entertained. // Link to Spotify // Link to all episodes
Exit.TV: A rather young podcast, thanks to the energy and passion of the two auto youtubers Jan Gleitsmann and Eckhard Egger. The topics are widely spread, but always entertaining and prepared with great pleasure in diversity. // Link: Apple Podcasts // Link to Spotify podcast
