The Weekly Driver Podcast

Hosted by James Raia and Bruce Aldrich, The Weekly Driver Podcast examines the automotive industry. We interview authors to analysts, collectors to museum owners and we discuss the always-evolving automotive landscape.

Raia, a journalist and editor for more than 45 years, and Aldrich, a lifelong car enthusiast, vintage car owner and RVer, report on the industry in a casual environment. It’s like having a cup of coffee with each episode’s guest.

Co-hosts Bruce Aldrich and James Raia discus the process of buying a new truck.
