Monday Jul 24, 2023
Welcome to our all-new podcast. Now available as a video podcast on our YouTube channel!
While we've been publishing the CarExpert podcast as an audio podcast for some time, we wanted to change things up with a video podcast!
The video podcast is hosted by Sean Lander (one of our videographers) and our first episode features CarExpert founders Paul Maric and Alborz Fallah.
This week we talk about Tesla's record sales in Australia, the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC and we tour the Carbon Revolution manufacturing facility in Geelong.

The CarExpert Podcast is getting a makeover
Friday Jul 14, 2023
Friday Jul 14, 2023
After nearly 150 episodes, the CarExpert Podcast is getting an update.
Launching in the coming weeks, the new Podcast will be available as an audio stream through your favourite podcast provider as is currently the case – but it'll also be published on YouTube for the first time.
Like any good automotive update, we haven't thrown the old format away entirely. Instead, we've taken the bits we know people loved and refined them, and thrown away some of the things regular listeners didn't like. Call it the Porsche 911 approach.
That means you'll still be getting the latest news, reviews, and opinions about the motoring world. And where most facelifts come with a price rise in the motoring world, the CarExpert Podcast is still free...
With this change, Mandy Turner will be leaving the CarExpert team for now. We'd like to thank Mandy for her audio expertise, professional presenter's voice, and unwavering enthusiasm.
If you ever see a beige Beetle on Melbourne roads, make sure to check if it's her. If you see one parked on the side of the road with oil spilling out, chances are it's definitely her.
