Automotive Brand Podcast Production

Podcast production built for a 119-mile shopping radius and a multi-year ownership cycle.

Brand storytelling, employee voice, and customer stories, produced to stay top of mind across the whole research window, not just the ad slot.

Resonate Recordings produces Honda Stories for American Honda Motor Company, hosted by Honda employee Bradley Hasemeyer and recorded from his CR-V, featuring engineers, associates, championship drivers, and customers. The same production model works for any OEM or dealer group that wants a recurring voice instead of a one-time ad.

The automotive podcasting gap

Most shoppers don't know exactly what they want yet. A podcast reaches them during that whole window.

Only 1 in 3 car shoppers know the exact vehicle they plan to buy, and today's buyers are willing to travel up to 119 miles for the right one. That's a long research window and a wide radius — far more than a single video ad or dealership visit can cover on its own.

A recurring show reaches that shopper again and again across the weeks or months they're deciding, and keeps reaching them through the years-long ownership cycle before their next purchase. Resonate already runs Honda Stories on exactly this model: an employee host, real engineers and customers, and a cadence that keeps the brand present long after any single ad campaign ends.

What kind of show fits your brand or dealer group?

The right format depends on whether you're reaching shoppers still deciding, owners between purchases, or your own dealer network. We help you pick one that fits your brand's actual voice, the way Honda Stories fits Honda's.

Employee-Hosted Brand Storytelling

Put a real employee behind the mic to cover brand history, engineering decisions, and company culture. This is the exact format behind Honda Stories, and it builds a level of authenticity a traditional ad campaign can't match.

Customer & Owner Shows

Feature real customers and their vehicles, from daily drivers to enthusiast builds. Owner-focused shows turn your most passionate customers into your brand's most credible advocates.

Dealer Operations & Training

A recurring show for dealer network training, best practices, and internal communication across locations. A dealer-operations podcast keeps every rooftop aligned without another all-hands memo nobody reads.

Racing, Motorsports & Enthusiast Content

Cover racing programs, championship drivers, and enthusiast culture for the audience that already loves the brand. This content builds loyalty with your most engaged fans while still reaching new audiences through motorsports crossover appeal.

Automotive podcast production services

Everything your brand's podcast needs. One production partner.

Resonate offers the full automotive podcast stack, built around the same production model behind Honda Stories — employee hosts, real guests, and a cadence that survives past a single campaign.

Common questions about automotive brand podcast production.

Everything you need to know before starting or scaling a podcast for your OEM, dealer group, or automotive brand.

What is an automotive brand podcast?+
An automotive brand podcast is a podcast produced by or for an OEM, dealer group, or automotive brand to build recurring engagement with shoppers and owners, covering brand stories, vehicle history, employees, and customers rather than a single ad or dealership event.
Why does an automotive brand need a podcast instead of just video ads?+
Only 1 in 3 car shoppers know the exact vehicle they plan to buy, and shoppers research for weeks or months before visiting a dealership. A recurring show reaches that audience repeatedly across the whole research window, and keeps reaching them through the years-long ownership cycle between purchases, in a way a single ad cannot.
What does an automotive podcast production agency do?+
An automotive podcast production agency handles strategy, audio and video production, employee or dealer-host coaching, show notes, and distribution. Resonate Recordings produces Honda Stories, a real OEM client show hosted by a Honda employee, covering brand history, engineering, and customer stories.
What kind of podcast should an automotive brand or dealer group launch?+
Most automotive brands succeed with one of three formats: an employee-hosted brand storytelling show covering history, engineering, and culture, a dealer-operations show for internal training and best practices, or a customer and owner show featuring real buyers and their vehicles.
Can a dealership or OEM feature customers and employees on a podcast?+
Yes, and it is one of the most effective formats. Honda Stories features engineers, associates, championship drivers, industry experts, and customers alongside its employee host, giving the brand a mix of authoritative and relatable voices in the same show.
How is an automotive podcast different from a general branded podcast?+
An automotive podcast often has to serve both a long pre-purchase research window and a multi-year post-purchase ownership relationship in the same show, which is a longer combined content horizon than most branded podcasts plan for. Format and topic selection are built around that full cycle from the start.
How much does automotive podcast production cost?+
Automotive podcast production cost depends on episode frequency, whether video is included, and how many stakeholders (engineering, marketing, dealer network) are involved in planning. Multi-location dealer groups or OEM programs spanning several audiences typically need more planning upfront, which is factored into scope. Book a call for pricing specific to your brand.
Has Resonate produced podcasts for automotive brands specifically?+
Yes. Resonate Recordings produces Honda Stories for American Honda Motor Company, hosted by Honda employee Bradley Hasemeyer, featuring engineers, associates, championship drivers, industry experts, and customers.
