Charlotte Vowden - Journalist, Writer & TV Presenter from The Repair Lot

Author: Paramex Digital August 7, 2023 Duration: 1:41:29

This week on the Podcast, Amy and John are joined in the Driven Studio by the very excellent Charlotte 'Charlie' Vowden.


Charlotte joins Amy and John this week to share the details of her new TV Show, The Repair Lot, which is available to watch on Dave or catch up on UKTV Play.


Before sharing the details of her new venture, Charlotte shares her fascinating backstory, which has led her to fronting an automotive TV show with some 'interesting' events as a junior in editorial roles for prominent newspapers in London. Charlotte's story transforms from a difficult start and challenging chapters to a great success story and (we think) the start of something even more incredible.


Find 'The Repair Lot' on the channel Dave in the UK or 'Motor Shed Squad' on Motor Trend in the USA, and give Charlie a follow on Instagram via @charlottevowden

For a while, the drivenchat podcast served as the weekly audio companion to the Driven platform, wrapping up the automotive world into candid conversations. Each episode paired the insights of a special guest from across the industry with the distinct perspectives of its three hosts. Listeners heard automotive writer, producer, and presenter John Marcar alongside automotive and lifestyle photographer Amy Heynes, with analysis from a racing driver and vehicle dynamics expert. This combination meant discussions naturally flowed from technical deep-dives into engineering and performance to the broader culture and style surrounding cars, all grounded in genuine expertise. The podcast has since concluded its run, with new episodes continuing under the refreshed banner of The Driven Podcast. The existing library of drivenchat episodes remains a compelling archive, capturing specific moments and voices from the motoring scene through relaxed yet informed dialogue. It was a show where passion for cars was the starting point, not the entire destination, often veering into the personal stories and unexpected tangents that make the automotive community so diverse. Produced by Paramex Digital, the series sits within the leisure and automotive categories, offering a backstage pass to the people who design, drive, photograph, and obsess over vehicles of all kinds.
