Episode 7 - Vicky Parrott

This week I chat with prolific motoring writer and author Giles Chapman, a man who can find anything to say about any car no matter how crap or obscure it is! We cover a lot of ground talking about his work and the car world in general. He's a fascinating guy.

This week, I chat with highly respected motoring journalist Vicky Parrott about what it was like working for Autocar in the mid-Noughties, being a Car of The Year Juror, electric cars and much more. Vicky has a lot to say and it's always worth listening to her. She certainly knows more than I do!

This week, a boisterous chat with Leon Watts, founder of Autoism, a Twitter-based campaign to raise awareness of autism through the medium of cars. I wanted to talk to Leon because I have Aspergers Syndrome myself and it's always interesting to hear about different people's experiences of autism. We talk about cars quite a lot, too!

This week I chat with Top Gear Magazine sub-editor Sam Burnett about working on one of the best car magazines in the world, and topical matters including a mould-breaking new French car.

In this episode I chat to motoring journalist and editor of new 'modern classics' magazine Strada, Nathan Chadwick. We cover the magazine, it's origins and what it's all about. We may also have gone a bit about Stoke-on-Trent - we both have history there...

Due to technical difficulties, last week's planned episode with Ian Cook of Popbangcolour had be to scrapped. Hoping to reschedule with him to try again soon. This week, I'm talking to Paul Woodford about his twin careers in motoring media and managing Lincolnshire's 'mini Nurbugring', Cadwell Park. And weird little British sports cars.

A bit more of a topical show this week as Graham and YesAuto Content Specialist, Tyler Heatley, pay tribute to Murray Walker; try to settle the Land Discovery vs Land Rover Defender debate; and discuss some of the week's news, including the new Ford Mustang Mach 1 and the Vauxhall Frontera's 30th birthday(!). Tyler has some excellent advice for anyone trying to start a career in motoring journalism, as well. Some of the editing may not be great, but then I'm still learning how to do it! Thanks very much for listening.

Alex talks about life as a freelancer, the new BMW M3 and M4, the joys of Lego, Le Mans and Morgan ownership. This is my first ever podcast, it's a bit shonky but hopefully it's the start of good things. Thanks for listening and, if you get through to the end, congratulations! - Graham
