I agree. The only podcast I subscribe to currently is the smoking tire podcast, but I think it's so much better to put it on a side screen while working rather than just listen.

Richard Hammond going through some of the old Top gear episodes, is a reminder how good it used to be and when these three left, it just never recovered. When Botswana was mentioned, all I remember is OLIVERRRRRR!!!!!

He took Oliver home and fully restored it as I remember...and always got roasted by Jeremy and James for naming his cars as well! :D

That special had one of my all-time favorite lines from Top Gear. Clarkson flips his bonnet up on the windshield of his Range Rover, and peers through the cooling vents he cut as his only method of seeing the road. "The scope of my engineering genius literally knows no bounds."

Richard is such a professional. I start to look at all he does online as an art.

“If I were a girl I’d be pregnant a lot” - my wife’s favorite joke from all the Top Gear I managed to make her watch

Please upload the full podcast videos, video suits this podcast so much more than audio 🙏

hammond actually feels like a good friend rather than TV star or automotive journalist

We have Brown Recluses in the Southern US. They're not only big but aggressive. I had one CHARGE me. Finally smashed it but it took years off my life.

I could sit and listen to Richard or any of the trio talk about the specials, giving us a bit of behind the scenes to them

4:45 the way Hammond signals Alex to stop it with the schoolboy jokes is so gentlemanly. Alex should know better and treat his guests with more respect

Alex doesn't seem to know how to read the guest. Richard is not the guy you see on camera outside of it. Not to say he's a douchebag, but he's more reserved and less of a joker.

The engagement per minute of podcasts on YT is much lower and YT uses that metric to give visibility to a channel, so if some videos don't do as well the others eventually will drop in reach

And uploading only the most interesting bits on YT is bringing content to those who can't listen to whole podcasts, and have no time to look for that particular section. Notice that with the amount of content of a 30min Top Gear challenge you could make 8 videos with YT pace of narration

He's always thrown in the worst possible scenarios when doing anything Top Gear / The Grand Tour... though lately James May has been getting that honor. Richard is a legend!

I’m surprised he didn’t say nearly being stoned to death in Argentina 😂

I love Hammond getting involved in social media. Drivetribe, Autoalex, Mat Armstrong. He loves to chat about all things Top-Gear, Grand Tour, car related.

One of the things which really set him off as a cut above the rest was when he interviewed Jimmy Broadbent and started the interview by saying he knew absolutely nothing about Jimmy's world but wanted to learn about it.

I love auto alex's questions. And I love hearing about these extra super interesting things like a personal 'toughest challenge' and things that couldn't get onto the final show. Great video!

Thank you for continuing to do these!! I’m your age basically and the fact that you’re still doing them keeps me young!! Keep it going gents

Can you upload the full vids? Prefer watching these, rather than listening to them on the go

Love the Podcast videos. Should record them all and put the here on 2nd Channel!!! Love

Is there a video version of the poscast out yet ?

I had an "injury lawyers for you" advert before this video, seems appropriate with the guest...

Ah, fantastic. A bringing together of my favourite people... and Rory. 😉

Cracking podcast guys 👍🏼👍🏼 keep up the great work

The proper Top gear with the proper trio will forever be a TV icon. It's nice to see you having anatter with him Alex as to be honest I see your channel as the modern evolution of the TV show. Passionate car enthusiast hosts, just having good times. And bad 😅 Would be wicked to have Richard join you on a big roadtrip, "to show you how it's done" 😅

I LIVED those specials. Made my childhood. The Hamster was always my #1.

Bolivia Special always stays in my heart. It's the Best of what these Guys did.

Wow a year ago you ventured out on your own. Now you’re interviewing Richard Hammond. 👏

Love the way Hammond is bringing the new guys up.

I’m a simple man, I see an AutoAlex notification, I click.

Excellent! But where is the rest???

The Bolivia to Peru's Atacama Desert is my favorite special. I stole a line from it. I like to say, "Insects! Millions of them!" to people who just moved to Florida when the cicadas begin to sing. And then I run away.

the way you’re sat for this really doesn’t open up everyone to speak

Please upload the full postcasts to KZread! :) All the other podcasts I listen to are on here, this is the only one that isn't, so I just end up watching the clips.

Where can we get the full video for this

Is there a full video version of this coming?

Please please please put the full podcasts on KZread

I've been a loyal follower of these guys whichever network theyv been on and Bolivia always felt like they had pushed the envelope just that bit far. That scene where Hammond looks genuinely terrified of the jungle. And the cars were more broken than usual.

Bolivia is by far my all time favourite special

Bolivia and Chile/Argentina are my favorite..

Seeing the trio blend with CT is the crossover we needed

i would think the death road part of that trip would have been scarier or driving across the bamboo bridge in burma special with a big truck, though i figure they probably had some i beams hidden for the last part where they drove the trucks across.

podcasting 2.0 will lead this into the future, chapters and stuff be so cool

i have to say my favourite special was the afirca special, and id love to know what happened to the campercars

I would have guessed that those gentle swells and nippy breeze he got in the south chinese sea was a no brainer (The Grand Tour)

You can tell Hammond used to do radio. Excellent

Where can I watch the full podcast?

Thanks Hammond star guest 🎉

And now I’m listening to your podcast

Upload the full thing please. You still upload the individual clips then uploaf the full. I dont want to keep breaking the pace waiting for the conversation to continue

Before i watch this, I going to guess it was the race to the North Pole. I actually felt bad for Hammond on that one. What a fantastic special that was.

How much of a complete go getter and fearless individual Hammond is totally understated.

could we get a video version of the podcast too

Bolivia was a great episode. The African episodes where Richard had a Subaru was also great. The hunt for the top of the Nile was also great. Argentina was scary and caused me to never want to visit there.

Watch a legend Hammond is.

It makes me so sad that after the next 2 grand tour specials, thats it, no more, they are stopping. I get they are getting on a bit and it’s become really hard work, makes perfect sense, but I feel like I am losing a major thing in my life that I look forward to and has been there for a very, very long time. I always get this little boy giddy excitement when I know one is coming. It was a proper escape from life.

I think it was a good idea for them to stop. Everything must end at some point. It's best for them to end it right now and still do things together eventually, but it was a warning when Clarkson, May and Hammond started their own businesses with Richard selling quite a bunch of his own cars to finance his venture. Even though they're starting to enter their 60s, their age is starting to show.

They could release all footage of those trips without any edit and I would watch it

That's main channel content.

Love Hammond 👍

Hammond developed a vacant stare in the Polar Special, where you could see he was losing the will to live.

God I miss classic Top Gear. Hammond's radio days show he's such a good story teller.

Surprised he didn't mention the Vancouver one where he was stuck on a mountain

Suprised the most sketch wasn't the south america one where the Argentinians were trying to kill them over Jeremy's number plate

i'M STILL NOT LOOKING FOR THE PODCAST. PUT IT ON YT

Hey, Hammo, du the SOUTH pole next time. :)

The way Alex said ok 😏 ok 😉 was so dodgy 😅 haha

You should have the interviewee on one side, he has to choose where to look insted of just glancing over.

I was thinking it would be when he was on that mountain in the snow with nothing but a watch to rescue him. He looked really really angry

I would've thought Argentina would've been a pain in the backside for him, either way great vid!

Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥

You know Hamster was hammered on 90% of the shoots, he barely remembers anything.

Please...someone buy Rory a mic stand

The Brown Recluse story doesn't quite add up, either Hammond isn't recalling it right, or the Dr. that told him it was a BR doesn't know what he's talking about. First of all, the rainforest isn't the kind of climate for the brown recluse. It's possible. But extremely unlikely. Second, they are not the size of your hand, a brown recluse, maximum, 6mm-20mm. Now, possible spiders he could be talking about are tarantulas based off his given size description, or a Brazilian Wondering Spider based off his accurate rotting flesh description.

Richard has a voice of someone who would read children's books on Spotify

I'm surprised it wasn't Argentina

Just looked up the brown recluse, seems Hammond totally over exaggerated it lol. He is just scared of bugs

Honestly would love to see a Grand Tour with Alex using shitbox cars.

I notice no one mentioned the condoms they ha as well.

Bro has my budget for a podcast

For some reason I agree, I would rather do Arctic stuff, much rather be eaten from the outside in by a polar bear!

A spider the size of your hand that can cause your flesh to rot?!! There is not enough money in the world that would have enticed me to get back in that car, especially in the dark!😮😮

Frankly surprised he actually remembers any of it.
