The boys dive deep into the world of Cars with its creative director, Jay Ward!

Ever wonder what really goes on inside a prestigious automotive institution? In The Drivers’ Seat with ABS pulls back the velvet rope for a candid, often humorous look at life within the Audrain, straight from three of its younger team members. Antonio Melegari, Ben Chester, and Sean O'Donnell-collectively known as ABS-aren't just employees; they're genuine car enthusiasts who live and breathe this world. Their conversations capture the unique perspective of a new generation navigating the classic car scene. You'll hear unfiltered shop talk, stories from events, and deep dives into the machines they love, all while getting a sense of the community that makes places like the Audrain tick. This isn't a formal history lesson or a polished corporate show. Instead, the podcast feels like eavesdropping on a lively conversation between friends in the garage, where passion for automobiles meets the everyday reality of working with them. For anyone curious about the people behind the polished exhibits and what fuels the next wave of collectors and enthusiasts, this series offers a fresh and authentic seat at the table. Tune in for a blend of insider knowledge, personal anecdotes, and the sheer joy of talking cars.
