Podcast Description
The Gas Station Podisode sees two motoring journalists (Jon Quirk and Alex Goy) and their snapper friend (CameramanPhil) chat all things automotive. Every fortnight we'll be getting together to discuss the news, what's good on the web (or in print) and discuss what we've been driving. Things can get a little fraught on the podisodes, so if you're not a fan of the occasional f-bomb (and they are occasional compared to the early days which you can find and download from www.alex-goy.com) and strong opinions (Alex doesn't really 'do' subtle) then we'll understand if you send us hate mail. Occasionally we have guests on. They're either fellow motoring journalists, general car nuts or well known (ish) people. If you've got any comments, questions or crits do let us know by emailing: alex@alexgoy.com

Podisode special: YouDrive@Porsche | A long, long time ago we were invited to go to the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone to drive our own cars in some pretty tricky situations and try to improve our “mad drivin’ skillz”. Saying no wasn’t an option. | 28 4 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Gas Station Podisode: January 2012 news roundup | Hello. We have a new format now, we’re doing news Podisodes at the end of a month and drives around halfway through (depending on what/when we drive). There is a reason for this – we’re all super mega hyper busy. We didn’t want to ditch the Podisode, but it wasn’t sustainable at the rate it was going. Please understand that we didn’t tak the decision to do this lightly, either. It was a bugger to make and a horrible thing to admit to, but we’re human and simply couldn’t be in more than eight places at once (as one of us had to be at one point – messy). We’ve been humbled by the requests for more content and for more Podisodes and hopefully we’ll be back up to snuff at some point soon. Watch this space, as it were. | 31 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Gas Station Special: Ford Centenary Tour (in an Escort Mexico) | On August 17 Jon and I got up very, very early to take part in something special. You see, this year marks 100 years of Ford in the UK. That makes it out of living memory (aside from the odd person who has an eidetic memory and lived through the first Model T rolling off the line at Trafford Park in Manchester). Our part in the day may have been minor, but we felt truly special. | 1 9 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Gas Station Drives: Chevrolet Cruze Hatch | Picture a world where there’s no need for a boot. No need to take large volumes of stuff with you on your journeys.

Gas Station Podisode: 17th May NEWS | Hello and welcome to the May 16th news! We’ve got quite a bit to talk about this week, so we... erm... did! We discussed the fact that the Jaguar C-X75 is actually going to be made, Jon revealed an actual Podisode exclusive (listen in for it), Lamborghini’s Sesto Elemento (and some horrid energy drink), yet another Porsche appears, as does another VW Golf GTI... We also natter about the McLaren F1’s true successor (which will apparently only cost £250-£300k), the downfall of Saab, how to poorly disguise a Mercedes SLS, we argue (again) about Harley Davidsons, there’s mention of some kind of list (BOW DOWN TO IT) and apparently Jon went on some road trip in Italy.... beats us...

The Gas Station Drives: Skoda Fabia VRs Estate | We like Q Cars here at the Podisode. Especially when they’re REALLY unassuming. The Skoda Fabia vRS Estate is one of those cars. Unlike the hatch it’s not garishly painted, covered in spoilers or the like. It looks like a Skoda Fabia Estate. You know, a normal one. That carries dog groomers and mums around. Nothing special, nothing offensive at all. | 16 4 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Gas Station Drives: Citroen DS3 1.6HTP | Being a MINI man I approached the Citroen DS3 with some caution – it threatened ‘my’ brand’s crown .
