Richard Porter (Top Gear UK, The Grand Tour, Smith and Sniff) - TST Podcast

Richard Porter is the script supervisor of "The Grand Tour", the former script supervisor of "Top Gear", and hosts the "Smith and Sniff Podcast" alongside Johnny Smith. He's written a number of hilarious books about obscure cars, and as expected, his car knowledge is incredible.


Topics include: why he bought a Fiat Panda instead of curtains; "man math"; having his 911 stolen; the Porsche Dakar; what the trio (Clarkson, Hammond, and May) deserve more credit for; his favorite episode of The Grand Tour; stories from Top Gear; and his very funny new book.
