Season 5 of The Ultimate Road Trip Podcast is here!

It's been a while, but James is back interviewing more brilliant guests and asking, funnily enough, "What's your Ultimate Road Trip??"

This week's guest, Billy Reeves, is amongst other things, a musician, producer, journalist, commentator, podcaster, artist and fundraiser - he's also a big fan of Brentford FC, buses and his hometown.

Billy's music career includes founding the band Theaudience and getting The Darkness their first live gig, but after a near-fatal car crash in 2001 he retrained, taking up journalism and commentating.... but he's now back to making music (along with everything else) with 3 albums under his belt along with various singles and live performances across the UK.

So what's his Ultimate Road Trip and does it include a Weekend in Staines (upon-Thames) ?

The five elements that make up The Ultimate Road Trip.

1. What's the car - make, model, colour

2. Why that car?

3. Destination

4. Passenger

5. Seminal soundtrack

Singer Vehicle Design founder Rob Dickinson is the final guest on the Ultimate Road Trip Podcast for 2023!

This year marked the 60th Anniversary of the unveiling of the Porsche 911 at The Frankfurt Motor Show and it's fitting that we have the man behind one of the most celebrated automotive companies of recent years on the podcast, chatting about his childhood through to his time in 90's band Catherine Wheel, to starting Singer.

The company restores and reimagines 911's -based on the 964 chassis- in the direction of each individual clients' wishes, striving for "a relentless pursuit of excellence" and it was a privilege to chat to Rob about Singer, as well as, of course, his Ultimate Road Trip!

The five elements that make up The Ultimate Road Trip.

1. What's the car - make, model, colour

2. Why that car

3. Destination......anywhere

4. Passenger

Coronation Street actor Shelley King joins James on the Ultimate Road Trip Podcast this week!

She's played Yasmeen for almost 10 years, but in 2019 hit the headlines for her character's gradual degradation at the hands of her thoroughly nasty husband, Geoff Metcalfe (played by Ian Bartholomew), throwing the real-life problem of coercive control in relationships into the spotlight.

What many of her fans may not know, is that along with acting, one of her other passions is cars. Especially ones from Stuttgart....

The Ultimate Road Trip guests are each asked 5 questions:

1. What's the car - make, model, colour?


2. Why that car?

3. Destination......anywhere.


4. Who's the passenger?


5. Seminal soundtrack.
