There’s something special about the conversations that people have in cars when they’re on the open road. This is the podcast that puts you in the passenger seat on a drive with some of Australia’s most well-known names.
 
Join Anthony Madaffari from carsales as he’s driven around by sporting royalty, tv stars, and musicians to talk about how they got to where they are today.
 
Whether it’s reminiscing about their first car, road trips they would take as kids, CDs they used to have in their glovebox, or unpacking the biggest moments of their career. Anthony pops the bonnet and brings you behind the scenes conversations with the names you know and love.

On this episode, Guy takes Anthony for a spin in his Toyota LandCruiser and talks about how he wrote Australia’s first ever Eurovision entry overnight, the time he was stranded in the middle of nowhere in a yellow sports car and what it was like to meet Ed Sheeran, The Pope, Oprah, and Beyonce just to name a few.
