The Drive Radio Show shifts gears with new hosts Lauren Fix and Karl Brauer

“The Drive with Alan Taylor Radio Show” is shifting gears with two new hosts, marking the start of a new era as two familiar faces take the wheel. On today’s episode of CBT Now, Car Coach Reports’ Lauren Fix and iSeeCars’ Karl Brauer discuss this transition and what listeners can expect going forward.

Fix and Brauer, longtime guests of Taylor’s program, are taking over hosting duties following Taylor’s retirement. Taylor will remain involved in a limited capacity, supporting Fix and Brauer as they steer the show in its next chapter. Their goal is to continue the show’s legacy while bringing a fresh perspective.

Now rebranded as The Drive with Lauren and Karl, the show will move to a more mainstream focus on consumers, technology and the everyday automotive experience. In addition to its regular radio broadcast, the program will expand its reach through podcast platforms and YouTube.

The Drive with Lauren and Karls airs on Saturday mornings across more than 80 AM and FM stations nationwide, with video episodes premiering on YouTube at 9:15 a.m. EST.

"We make it fun, we make it light, we make it interesting so it's not just talking to you about the news." — Lauren Fix
 

Fix hopes listeners walk away from each episode with what she calls “car smarts” — the knowledge and confidence to better understand and care for their vehicles. Too often, people only think about their cars when there’s a problem or they’re buying or selling. She hopes that listeners will tune in and feel empowered and educated.

"That's the magic of today's world and the access that you can give to people because of all the internet and technology we have." — Karl Brauer
 

Brauer wants listeners to feel like they’re part of a casual conversation with a trusted friend who can answer any car-related question.

Together, they both bring insider access to new vehicle releases and automotive trends that they can share directly with their audience. Looking ahead, they plan to invite dealer guests and other industry voices to join the discussion to bring more insight and variety.

Check out the first episode of The Drive with Lauren and Karl here.
