Oil and Whiskey
The crew from the world-renowned Roadster Shop talks car builds, interviews industry titans, and shares a glass of whiskey.
This is a shop-talk podcast from the heart of the high-end custom car scene. The hosts aren't just commentators; they are the principals of Roadster Shop, one of the most respected chassis and car builders in the world. Episodes alternate between deep-dive interviews with other industry leaders and internal discussions with their own fabrication and sales teams, all with the casual, behind-the-scenes feel of friends sharing a drink after hours.
“Unlike many automotive podcasts hosted by journalists or personalities, Oil and Whiskey's authority comes directly from the shop floor. The hosts' daily experience building award-winning cars provides a level of practical, hands-on insight that is rare in the space.”
