RawAutos.com is an automotive website that was created in 2007 so that one man could say whatever the hell he wanted about cars. Josh Lewis, the founder and publisher of RawAutos.com, is now, finally, creating a podcast where he and anyone else can say whatever the hell they want about cars, the industry, current politics related to the industry, and of course the future of the automobile and the technology surrounding it.

Episode 8 - Meet RawAutos.com
Wednesday Apr 15, 2020
Wednesday Apr 15, 2020
I could have done this with episode 1, but I didn't want to. So here I am now, at episode 8 of the podcast, welcoming you to RawAutos.com and help you understand a little about me and the website I created in 2007. I ramble a lot, so be careful. This will be at least a two or three part series. Next week I will do another with more information on how I was able to convince car companies to give me press cars, and the like.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this episode, though. Don't forget that Episode 9, featuring JF Musial, will debut on April 17th.

Episode 7 - John Voelcker
Monday Apr 13, 2020
Monday Apr 13, 2020
John Voelcker is what you'd call an expert on the topic of "green cars", so to speak. as a graduate of Stanford University with a BS in Industrial Engineering, John understands complex math that I don't, which helps him have a better grasp on how hybrid and electric cars work. While his speciality are cars that feature futuristic powertrains, he is also a juror for The North American Car, Utility, and Truck of the Year Awards.
Green Car Daddy, as I nicknamed him in this episode, was the Senior Editor for GreenCarReports.com, as well as being a featured writer for MotorAuthority.com and CarConnection.com.
This episode is a long one, so have a seat and enjoy a tall glass of Bourbon, because John and I cover everything from Tesla fanboys, when to buy a Tesla, if he'd recommend buying used hybrids and electrics, all the way to his obsession of rare British automobiles and his Isuzu Impulse XS Wagonback, oh, and the time he bought a Chevy Suburban with 220,000 miles in Phoenix and drove it 6,500 miles around North America with a bunch of old car parts inside it.

You've read his work for The NY Times, CarTalk, and Automobile Magazine, and now soon in Road and Track, but now you'll hear him completely unfiltered on The RawAutos Podcast. Jamie Kitman is one of the most interesting car people in the world. The son of a man who ran for President of the United States, while being given Land Rovers to use for the campaign by Land Rover, Jamie grew up seeing the world from a different lens. His parents were safety conscious and never really liked cars. So how the hell did Mr. Kitman become one of the best automotive journalists and columnists the world has ever seen? You'll have to listen and find out.

There is no doubt that today's guest isn't someone you've already read articles from, or watched on YouTube. Maybe you've even caught him on the MotorTrend On Demand app. That's right, it's none other than Jonny Lieberman.
Jonny is a fun personality in the automotive world. With his previous gigs at The Truth About Cars, Jalopnik, Autoblog, and of course MotorTrend magazine, he's been around the block and driven damn-near all things motorized.
This podcast is pretty short at just over an hour, with the interview portion only taking about 54 minutes. I hope you enjoy it.

Monday Apr 06, 2020
Rob Basile is a man that none of you will know... but once you've listened to this episode I think you'll be glad you now know who he is. Rob and I are best friends. We've been in each other's wedding, and we're both car nerds. Rob works as a handyman, construction/paint contractor, and most importantly as a classic car mechanic. He has rebuilt tons of cars for other people, while at the same time spending his own time, energy, and money on rebuilding a 1950 Cadillac Series 60 and '56 Cadillac Coupe De Ville for himself. Anyway, enjoy us yucking it up like a couple of idiots.
