Behind The Glass

Seen Through Glass

Behind The Glass is an automotive podcast, hosted by automotive YouTuber, Sam (SeenThroughGlass) and car dealer, Tony (Gravelwood Car Sales). Each week they take a light hearted look and everything going on in the car world, often providing industry scoops, making outlandish statements about various cars, arguing over manual vs automatic or new vs old and generally having fun. It's like listening to your friend and his grumpy uncle having an often heated conversation in the pub.
