LiSTNR has partnered with myDRIVESCHOOL to create a new podcast Keep Your Wheels On, aiming to teach safe driving habits and techniques, and funded by the Australian Government.
Hosted by Greg Rust, from LiSTNR’s Rusty’s Garage and Lisa Skaife, Founder and CEO of myDRIVESCHOOL, the pair feature a special guest each episode sharing their driving history. Guests so far including actor Shane Jacobson, former Supercars racer and four-time Bathurst 1000 winner Greg Murphy, and Victoria Police – Road Policing Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir talking about their own important lessons to help listeners become safer and more aware drivers.
Skaife said:
“Loved doing this podcast with Rusty, and some amazing guests with great insights and mind-blowing stories. We laughed, cried and learnt some, and I hope the listeners will too … all the best and keep your wheels on!”
Todd Stevens, Senior Executive Producer ‑ Branded Podcasts, said:
“The stories revealed in this new podcast series are incredible; from Samantha who crashed her car driving tired, but then became paralysed when her ambulance driver also fell asleep and crashed, to Angela who ended up $70,000 in debt by deciding to drive her new car uninsured.
It is true that this podcast features expert commentary that could help you to become a safer driver, but it is also about much more than that. It is about learning from the experiences of real people who showcase just how quickly a crash can happen, and the longstanding impacts that can occur when it does.
Rusty and Lisa had not heard these crash survivor’s stories until they sat down in the recording studio and so their reactions are real and unfiltered. We catch the laughs, but also hear the real frustration and tears as they unpack these moments with their expert guests”
Keep Your Wheels On launched July 16 and will have eight weekly episodes.
