Back in the day, if you wanted to dive into car culture, you’d flip through a magazine, catch a late-night rerun of a custom shop on TV, or roll through a weekend meet. Today, that same culture lives on demand — in your headphones.
2024 has been the year where automotive podcasts hit the fast lane. From deep dives into design trends to raw conversations about shop life, builders and enthusiasts are using podcasts to tell the stories behind the builds.
What makes this shift so powerful is authenticity. A podcast isn’t just about specs or horsepower numbers — it’s about hearing the voice of the people who live this every day. Shop owners talking about late nights before a deadline, detailers breaking down the art of a perfect finish, or tuners sharing why they’ll never compromise on performance.
At Golden Custom NY, we see this movement as more than just media — it’s a reflection of the culture we’ve been part of for decades. Custom cars have always been about community, connection, and storytelling. Podcasts just happen to be the latest ride carrying that tradition forward.
As we move into the future, one thing’s clear: the automotive industry isn’t just innovating in the garage, it’s innovating in the conversation. And whether it’s through a widebody kit, a custom interior, or a bold new podcast episode, it all comes back to the same thing — passion that turns heads.
