Enjoy a bonus episode of The Driven Podcast from the GTI Fan Festival in Wolfsburg, Germany. In this two-part 'design special,' John Marcar sits down with two iconic car designers. First up is Khyzyl Saleem, a concept artist who has found fame by showing off his work on Instagram @the_kyza while designing for the likes of EA Games, TWR, Fuze Studios, and more.

In the first half of the episode, John and Khyzyl explore the story of 'The Kyza' from his humble beginnings—cutting out paper cars from magazines—to his current status as one of the most influential concept artists in the world.

In the second half of the podcast, Khyzyl takes on the co-host role, joining John to interview Volkswagen's head of design, Andreas Mindt. Andreas has designed for Bentley, Porsche, Audi, and VW, and in the episode, he works through his fantastic story, following in his father's footsteps, who designed for VW in the 1970s.

Expect more from Khyzyl in the near future in an additional podcast in which we'll complete his story and bring more content from his latest venture, Fuze Studios.

Topaz Detailing is a trusted industry brand renowned for being the best of the best in the world of car detailing and paint protection services. From the outside looking in, it would be easy to assume the company was founded with a multi-million-pound financial investment, which immediately got to work on the biggest, best and most exclusive cars in the world; the real story, though, is very humbling.

In this week's Podcast Episode, Topaz co-founder Nabil Naamo shares the story of how his now internationally famous company started as two brothers working out the back of a van washing cars at £10 per wash. As the conversation progresses, we discuss the art of obsession and the importance of going the extra mile with hard work and determination.

Joining as a co-host for the episode is Thomas Howarth, aka @HorsePower_Hunters, on Instagram. Thomas helps manage the social media strategy for Topaz and is the brand's 'in-house car guru'. 

Topaz has kindly offered a discount code for anyone looking to purchase some car detailing products: Use Code: DRIVEN25 for a 25% discount code in the shop here: https://thetopazshop.com/

Alex Kersten is a big name in the automotive content creation game, having been the face of Car Throttle for an entire decade. In April 2022, Alex shocked the automotive world by announcing his resignation from Car Throttle to start his own media brand, which we now know as AutoAlex.

In this podcast, John Marcar and Alex are reunited as old friends and work colleagues to talk through his career and story, along with Miles Lacey, who enjoyed his first encounter with Alex... It's fair to say that Alex and Miles got on like a house on fire (literally, a-house-that-is-on-fire!).

Enjoy a perfect blend of silliness with some deep and meaningful discussions thrown into the mix.

Jonny Smith joins John Marcar and Miles Lacey as our first-ever guest on the all-new Driven Podcast. John and Jonny started talking about sitting down for a podcast together in December 2020, and finally, after four years, it's happened.

In this episode, John and Miles work through Jonny's unique, bizarre and, at times, downright ridiculous career as a writer, a journalist and a television presenter before embarking on the work of digital media with his monumentally successful podcast Smith & Sniff and YouTube Channel The Late Brake Show.

Welcome to the all-new Driven Podcast!

John, Amy and Miles are finally back with the brand-new Driven Podcast. This week, the trio catch up on the past month's antics and work through some interesting talking topics, including... Amy has bought a new car (spoiler alert, it's in the title), Miles has been researching which Porsche 911 is best, John has been breaking the law and paying the price by enduring a Speed Awareness Course, and Miles gets a rollicking for purchasing part-worn tyres.

It's the last episode of Season 1, and the team has been very busy driving on all sides of the globe. Amy has been battling the mean streets of Greece in a Porsche 911. Miles has been battling the mean streets of Australia in a Porsche 911, and John has been battling the mean streets of Italy in a... Fiat Panda

In addition to the very unbalanced driving comparisons, John has once again fallen in love with our Land Rover Defender thanks to some steel wheels and Falken Tyres and is trying to work out what on earth to do with a Ducati Multistrada V4S this week.

Amy has been enjoying the Monaco Historic GP, ⁠Driving Porsches in Greece, Photographing an RS Williams Aston Martin and visiting the Bike Shed Show in London.

Miles has been Racing Pragas in Australia, ⁠enjoying a Singer DLS, and experiencing (in his own words) pure concentrated pain while working on his BMW 330D.

Also, there's breaking news regarding THE Volvo. Oh yeah, and one more thing... Amy's pregnant.
