The Best Automotive Podcasts for Supercar Enthusiasts
The Romans International Guide to Long-Form Listening That’s Worth Your Time
YouTube has its place, but there is a different kind of automotive content that deserves equal attention. Podcasts have quietly become one of the richest veins of supercar and collector car content available.
The long-form format strips away the production theatre and gets to the substance: the stories behind significant cars, the perspectives of the people who build, race, collect and obsess over them, and the kind of informed conversation that enthusiasts of a certain depth genuinely crave.
Here, for the first time, is Romans International's curated guide to the automotive podcasts we believe are genuinely worth your time - and ears! Read on to find out more…

The Car Podcast with Chris Harris and Friends
Podcast Topics: Performance Cars, Road Tests, Motorsport Chat, and Collector Culture
Chris Harris needs little introduction to anyone with a serious interest in performance cars, and the Chris Harris & Friends Car Podcast is exactly what the title suggests: a long-form conversation between Harris and the people he finds most interesting in the automotive world.
Harris’s strength lies in the fact that he has driven virtually every significant performance car of the past three decades, so he has the ability to articulate his experiences with true merit. For anyone who has ever read a Chris Harris road test review and wished it were twice as long, this podcast is the answer.
Why We Rate It:
This podcast has an unmatched depth of experience and an uncompromising editorial standard that makes every episode feel genuinely significant. It’s right up there for us.
The Late Brake Show Podcast
Podcast Topics: Industry Analysis, Honest Opinion, and Performance Car Culture Chat
Jonny Smith's The Late Brake Show Podcast is the audio companion to his YouTube channel, and in many respects, it is where his best thinking lives. Freed from the visual demands of video production, the podcast format allows Jonny to dive even deeper into the automotive subjects he covers.
The Late Brake Show Podcast is one of the most intellectually honest listens in the space. If you want to understand what is actually happening in the performance car world, rather than what manufacturers would like you to believe, this is an essential starting point, and a really great listen.
Why We Rate It:
This podcast is fearlessly independent and deeply informed - which we love. As such, Jonny Smith’s presentation style entices the audience into the more complex sides of the automotive world.
Smith and Sniff Podcast
Podcast Topics: Automotive Culture, Humour, and Informed Opinion
Â
Smith and Sniff (aka Jonny Smith and Richard Porter) make an exciting duo to listen to. Richard Porter's background as a former Top Gear scriptwriter and the creator of the long-running Sniff Petrol satire site gives the show an irreverent wit that is difficult to replicate. Alongside him, Jonny Smith brings warmth, broadcasting experience and a genuine breadth of automotive knowledge to every episode.
What makes the Smith and Sniff podcast particularly enjoyable is that it is funny without being silly and over-the-top. The show covers everything from major industry news to the finer points of classic car ownership with equal affection, and its loyal following is a testament to how well that balance has been struck.
Why We Rate It:
For listeners who want their automotive content to make them laugh as well as think, Smith and Sniff is the first recommendation we would make. It’s the wittiest automotive podcast in the UK, and one of the most knowledgeable too.
Behind The Glass Podcast
Podcast Topics: Supercar Ownership Discussion and Collector Cars Chat with Honesty
Sam Fane's Behind The Glass podcast is the audio extension of his Seen Through Glass YouTube channel. You can expect genuine curiosity alongside a perspective on the supercar and collector world that is earned rather than assumed.
Sam (alongside regular contributor Tony) approaches each episode with the sensibility of a journalist. He is always structured, considered, and interested in the story behind the car as much as the car itself. The ownership and collector focus in particular makes Behind The Glass really interesting listening for anyone journeying through the realities of supercar ownership.
Why We Rate It:
Behind The Glass is one of the most useful podcasts currently available. It is intelligent, well-crafted audio content that sits comfortably alongside the best editorial voices in the UK supercar space.
The Evo Podcast
Podcast Topics: Performance Car Reviews, Industry News, and Motorsport Culture
Evo Magazine has defined serious performance car journalism in the UK for over two decades, and its podcast carries the weight of that editorial heritage. The format brings together the magazine's writers and contributors for structured conversations about performance cars.
The Evo Podcast is a particularly strong listen on the kind of considered road test analysis that the magazine is known for. It is authoritative without being inaccessible, and its connection to the magazine's broader journalistic style gives it a genuine depth of industry access.
Why we rate it:
For listeners who want to stay current with the performance car market whilst being genuinely informed rather than simply entertained, the Evo Podcast is a consistent listen. We particularly appreciate the editorial credibility of one of the UK's most respected automotive publications, translated into audio format.
The Intercooler Podcast
Podcast Topics: General Automotive Culture, Enthusiastic Conversation About Cars, and Industry News
The Intercooler Podcast takes a much broader approach to automotive content than some of the more specialist entries on this list. It covers the wider culture of cars (from performance and collector to everyday enthusiast models) with an accessible, conversational energy that has built a loyal UK following.
Hosted by Intercooler magazine’s founders, Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel, we like that the podcast has a willingness to roam across the automotive landscape without being anchored to a single niche or topic. It’s a useful audio companion for listeners who want to stay informed across the full spectrum of car culture.
Why We Rate It:
It’s accessible, broad-ranging and genuinely enthusiast-led. If you’re new to automotive podcasting, then it’s a solid entry point while being an equally easy listen for more established fans.
The Car Chat Podcast
Podcast Topics: Supercar Culture, Ownership and Enthusiast Conversation
Sam Moore's The Car Chat is one of the newer voices on our list, but it has established itself quickly as a podcast with genuine character and a clear sense of what it wants to be - it has us sold! The content is focused on the enthusiast experience of owning, discussing and obsessing over performance and supercar machinery.
What Sam brings to the podcast is a perspective that feels genuinely close to its audience. The questions he asks and the conversations he pursues are the ones that serious enthusiasts actually want answered, rather than the ones that make for easy content.
Why We Rate It:
In a space where authenticity is increasingly rare, that quality is absolutely worth rewarding with your time. The podcast is one to follow closely as it continues to develop and grow.
Cars & Money Podcast
Podcast Topics: Supercar Ownership advice, Market Insight, and Collector Car Culture
The Cars & Money podcast, hosted by Rob Moore and Carl Hartley, explores the financial and investment angle of supercar ownership with a frankness and first-hand knowledge that is genuinely rare.
Together, they bring direct industry experience to every episode, whether that’s discussing which models are appreciating in value, the realities of buying and selling at the top of the market, or the broader economic forces shaping the collector car world.
Why We Rate It:
It’s honest, commercially savvy and built around real market knowledge. If you want to understand the business of supercars as well as the pleasure of them, the Cars & Money podcast is essential listening.
The Smoking Tire Podcast
Podcast Topics: Long-Form Interviews, Performance Cars Conversation, and Industry Guests
The Smoking Tire podcast, hosted by Matt Farah and Zack Klapman, is widely regarded as the template for serious automotive long-form audio content, and Matt Farah's interviewing instincts remain as sharp as ever.
Based in the United States, the show's guest list and subject matter have a natural American lean, but the cars, the stories and the calibre of conversation are consistently relevant to any serious performance car enthusiast regardless of the location.
Why We Rate It:
Episodes with collectors, racing drivers and industry insiders in particular offer insight into the performance car world that is simply not available elsewhere. We think it’s one of the most reliably excellent automotive podcasts available anywhere in the world.
Why We Love Listening to Automotive Podcasts
The common thread running through every podcast on our list is a genuine respect for the subject matter and for the audience. At Romans International, we pride ourselves on that same quality of attention to our clients.
The collector car world rewards knowledge, patience and the ability to ask the right questions. We think that the best podcasts in this space are, in their own way, a masterclass in all three of these.
