    Good, no nonsense info.
    Enthusiast, collector, investor or industry professional can all benefit from this podcast.
  • Sparksrl
    Refreshing
    This show is a breath of fresh air to not only all car enthusiasts but especially to those of us who put our faith and trust in Jesus. It’s important to me that I can listen to this show and be entertained with old car related info from Rob and his guests about all areas of the hobby and not worry about profanity or any other racy commentary. I can turn this show on with my wife and kids in the room or in the car and not worry about the content and that’s comforting. Please keep the podcasts coming.
  • EbourqueIII
    Great show

  • 230 Firebird
    Great Show
    I’ve been listening to this show from the beginning. This is the Best car show podcast anywhere. The interviews are top notch. I also look forward to the “ ask Rick” segments.
  • guitarsandbeaches
    Great Car podcast
    Not a car guy but wish I was. I'm all thumbs when it comes to car, but listening to this podcast I just might grow me a finger.

    The Muscle Car Place
    I don't know of any other pod that does more for my desire to get out and enjoy fast old cars than this one. Look forward to it every week.
  • BMFM64

    Rob does a great job diving into specific topics and just talking with fellow automotive enthusiasts. He keeps the conversation moving and is very enthusiastic on the right stuff.
  • Mikeyworks
    Perfect!
    This show is my weekly zen. No matter how frustrated, worked up, tired, angry, or just plain exhausted I am, this show brings me back to my center and moves me forward. Thank you!

    Super entertaining and informative show. If you don’t rate this with 5 stars then you hate your country.
  • EllisDee welder
    C’Mon Robert
    For a show called “The Musclecar Place”, I’m a little disappointed in the lack of knowledge the host has on muscle cars. Especially since this podcast has been around for 10+ years. Most of his guests know a lot more than he seems to.

    Best Santa interview yet! Thanks Rob!
  • Daniel the Second

    Love this show. It’s so good.
  • Myles from Nebraska
    Rob does an outstanding job on Muscle Car Place
    Rob does a great job digging into the stories of his guest. I've been listening for awhile to the Muscle Car Place podcast and really enjoy hearing about various automotive topics. I also like that Rob is from Iowa and as a midwest guy it nice to hear his perspecive of the automotive industry from the midwest. Keep up the good work Rob!
  • Dean Legler
    Woo boo
    The show is awesome. Thanks for all the great content.
  • Cory75ws6
    Best car podcast out there!!
    Rob always seems to find the best guests and tells the best personal stories bout himself and the cars he loves. The ask Rick segment is something I always look forward to at the beginning of every month. I’ve bought a lot NPD products for my 68 GTO. So it’s really great to hear from the guy who runs it. Then the pro touring update with the granddaddy of pro touring always gets me hype just love all the info.
  • Dd's Garage
    Love the podcast!
    Great podcast for a car enthusiast. There’s something for everyone from the beginner to the guy/gal who has spent 100’s of hours under the hood. The guest interviews offer fantastic insight into their area of expertise and Rob is a great interviewer. I especially like the monthly Ask Rick segment. Keep up the great work Rob!

    Found this app after cutting the cord on cable tv. If you love cars check out this and the other podcast under the musclecar place network.
  • Henry's Son
    Great show....but a little less laughter please.
    Rob, keep up the great show. I love the show and will continue listening but your speech pattern of incorporating a nervous laugh at the end of about every 3 sentences is getting a little old. Stay more on the serious side, it's much more enjoyable and professional John McCarthy Crystal Lake, IL
  • Jesse Lahey
    Rob Rocks!
    Rob is a great host! He's passionate, fun, knowledgeable, and generous with his knowledge. It's easy to see why The MuscleCar Place has grown such a huge following!
  • SamMechling
    Television-quality podcast for muscle car fans.
    This is probably the best podcast of its kind on iTunes. Good mix of technical and human content. Rob is very good host and definitely has a good brand in the making. An easy recommendation. My only criticism: is the show's presumption of a Christian audience-base. While I have no issue with religion (Christianity could use more men like Rob) I feel that the notion of muscle car hobby being a "Budweiser, Bible and Burger" culture is inherently inaccurate and will ultimately limit the survival of this hobby in a modern context. That said, please consider this as your audience grows and moves further away from the center of your original base. This expansion is a good problem, just want the show to be prepared for it. Thanks! Owner 1969 Camaro Yenko Tribute. Enthusiast 25+ years.
