Drive, She Said

Podcast: Coronavirus Cancellations, Teen Driver Safety

I know I’m a bit delayed in posting last week’s Consumer Guide Carstuff Podcast, but today was record-the-podcast day at WCPT 820, so I wanted to make sure I got this one out ASAP.

The big news last week was the postponement of the New York Auto Show, which was supposed to happen at the beginning of April, but will now take place after the newly minted June Detroit auto ahow. Things are certainly still fluid with this situation, and we discussed even more cancellations today.

The car we check out: The BMW M850i.

But the bulk of our show focused on the Teen Driver Safety program offered by the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Ill. Our guest was Tony Kester, chief instructor and managing director of driving programs for the Autobahn. What this program gives you over something like, say, driver’s ed, is real-world experience dealing with emergency situations. I’ve attended the program myself, and it’s a pretty cool deal. For the adults out there, they also offer performance driving courses.

While I will continue to post the podcast to my blog each week, you can subscribe to the Consumer Guide Car Stuff Podcast on any podcast subscription service or visit the Buzzsprout link. New episodes are usually posted on Friday, and then the show itself airs on WCPT 820 AM on Sundays from 1 to 2 p.m.

Be sure to let us know if you have questions or if there are any topics you’d like us to cover on future podcasts.
