AutoRetro Podcast: Season 2 | Episode 3 - Byron Mathioudakis

Byron is a motoring journalist in Australia, officially starting in 1997 for John Mellor. His automotive passion, however, started at the age of 3 (more on that in this episode!).

He is the self-proclaimed "least beloved" motoring journalist in Australia - but with countless published articles and an encyclopedic knowledge of cars from the past and present, Byron is the definition of a car enthusiast writing about his passion.

We had great fun filming this episode of AutoRetro, and we hope you enjoy listening to Byron's life in cars!
