The Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (VACC) has launched an industry podcast called The Grille, hosted by motorsport journalist Greg Rust, actor and petrolhead Shane Jacobson, and VACC chief executive Geoff Gwilym.
The first episode is available now and includes an interview with UK motoring personality, Jeremy Clarkson. Bendix is the podcast’s naming rights sponsor and Denso is its advertising partner.
Published monthly, each episode features news and views about the state of Australia’s automotive industry, as well as a monthly interview with a well-known personality.
Rust takes the driver’s seat on the podcast. He says The Grille’s point of difference is authority.
“Having Geoff on board, and the resources and know-how available to VACC, gives The Grille a point of difference. When they told me my mate Shane was onboard I just had to be part of it. He’s got this proper, deep enthusiasm for cars and bikes that is infectious,” Rust says.
“It’s such a rare thrill to be working with the best in the business, and The Grille team really is the best. Greg Rust is so knowledgeable and well-connected within the automotive world, and Geoff Gwilym is the go-to guy for industry comment. What he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing,” Jacobson says.
Gwilym says there are two components to a good podcast. One is great content, delivered in an authoritative way. The other essential element is entertainment.
He says The Grille delivers both.
