LiSTNR and carsales.com.au have launched the second podcast series under their long-term partnership, The Showroom – Car News and Views.
The Showroom will feature the latest car news and views – from the inside info on new car releases, to what is causing a hike in petrol prices, interesting classifieds listed on carsales and everything in between.
The Showroom will be hosted by automotive commentator Greg Rust, who also heads LiSTNR’s popular Rusty’s Garage and carsales’ Watts Under the Bonnet: The Electric Vehicle Podcast.
Rust will be joined by a member of carsales independent editorial team on each episode to offer listeners unbiased, unfiltered, and informative conversations, as well as interviews with expert guests from the car world.
The Showroom is designed to appeal to all Australians who love anything with a motor and especially those who have a keen interest in the latest from the car world. It also allows for a more in-depth and behind the scenes look into the news stories, reviews and features that make the pages of carsales’ market-leading News & Reviews section.
The Showroom follows the successful launch of carsales and LiSTNR’s first podcast collaboration, Watts Under the Bonnet: The Electric Vehicle Podcast, that delves into everything electric vehicles as interest grows in the category.
Mike Sinclair, carsales editor-in-chief, said: “The team at carsales lives and breathes cars – and The Showroom is an opportunity to expand the online conversation we are already having with car enthusiasts and buyers alike.
“You’ll hear the opinions of our most experienced automotive journalists and editors – and hopefully be both entertained and informed along the way. There are so many auto stories out there and The Showroom will feature the pick of the bunch.”
carsales is Australia’s largest online automotive, motorcycle, RV, marine and industry classifieds business. It attracts more Australians interested in buying or selling cars, motorcycles, trucks, caravans, and boats than any other online publisher.
