Seinfeld Talks Cars & Coffee
PodcastOne has inked Spike Feresten to host a new podcast, Spike’s Car Radio, so says Founder and Exec. Chairman Norman Pattiz. Feresten is best known for his comedy writing, including the classic “Soup Nazi” episode of Seinfeld, and for his enthusiasm for cars as host the television series Car Matchmaker.
Originating from weekly hangouts with car talk on the porch of the Malibu Kitchen in Malibu, CA, the weekly show will feature all-star guests who frequent the spot, showing off their rides and enjoying “cars and coffee.” The debut episode is available now, featuring special guest and good friend Jerry Seinfeld, on PodcastOne.com, the PodcastOne app and Apple Podcasts. Seinfeld, who helped develop some of the show’s segments, will be a recurring guest, along with friend and fellow car enthusiast Paul Zuckerman.
Feresten (pictured here, center, at the Malibu Kitchen, bracketed by Zuckerman and Seinfeld), said, “For years, I’ve been driving out to Malibu for a cars and comedy breakfast with friends. This is a way for me to share it with anyone who wants to listen in. I’m really enjoying myself, and podcasting is a way for me to monetize my weekly ‘cars and coffee’ breakfast. I’m getting paid to talk turbos and woof down eggs.” Upcoming guests include Jeremy Piven, Dick Van Dyke and Chris Hardwick.
