James Raia

TheWeeklyDriver.com, the independent new car review and news website online since 2004, has expanded its content platform in several key areas.

With the addition of PRNewsWire content, readers can now visit the site to read general interest automotive business news updated daily. A separate daily content news feed features only Truck News.

The new content supplements the mainstays of the site, new car reviews and automotive news. The site features more than 700 reviews of vehicles I’ve driven beginning in 2004.

TheWeeklyDriver.com has been online since 2004. It now offers expanded automotive content and news avenues to support our content offered as new car reviews, automotive news, an electronic newsletter and a weekly podcast.

For more than four years, the website has also featured The Weekly Driver Podcast. Co-host Bruce Aldrich and I have broadcast wide-ranging, 30-minute episodes with guests from the automotive landscape — authors to analysts, vintage car owners to industry experts. We’ve reported from several auto shows and other industry events.

In recent months, guests have included a Sacramento woman who drove her three-wheel motorcycle across the United States to an update on Robo taxis now available in San Francisco.

Bruce and I have also featured interviews with automotive artists, auto museum curators and the organizer of the niche driving attraction of wintertime drifting on groomed snow in Lapland. We now have more than 230 episodes archived on theweeklydriver.com. Episodes dating to 2017 are also available on all major podcast outlets, Apple to Spotify, Audible to iHeart Radio.
