Testimonials
Bob is truly at the top of his game - a consummate pro. Having worked with him for a
number of years now, I can say that his knowledge of the automotive realm is encyclopedic,
he makes every guest shine and he is a true gentleman both on and off the air. "
Dan Kahn, President, Kahn Media
"Bob is an amazing radio man. Going beyond the voice (which is as rich as it was the day
we met nearly 15 years ago), Bob's ability to derive what is something his listeners care
about while still respecting the PR message, is uncanny. His knowledge base, which far
exceeds automotive, is what sets him apart. The man could give you an hour on any topic,
and it will never sound rehearsed. My first call with a radio pitch is always to Bob. "
Lee Morrell, Veteran Automotive PR Professional, Director of Public Relations at
DogVacay
"Bob is an insightful and through interviewer and On air personality Bob has a gift of
bringing out information and putting people at ease while asking the hard questions.”
Tom Wicks, Former Product Engineer Manager, Gold Eagle
"I was impressed with your radio show. It was enjoyable talking to you. Your
professionalism and knowledge of the auto industry puts you and your show at the top. Keep
up the fantastic work. I look forward to chatting with you in the future." See you at the
shows! "

2. "I thought I might be making a mistake, doing an interview on Super Bowl Sunday. Would
anyone be listening? But they were. We all know Bob Long's reputation as a broadcast
journalist and his car-guy enthusiasm, but don't overlook his audience -- it's large and
strong and loyal. Despite the distractions, they were out there listening, and not just
listening, they were calling and emailing in with excellent questions and comments." "
Larry Edsall, author and editor (iZoom.com)
"There are about 40 car talk shows in the nation (local and national)...I have done most of
them and gotten to know most of the hosts. I can say without hesitation there isn't anyone in
Bob Long's class. He is so professional, so prepared and well spoken. Plus he has the
greatest voice in radio."
Barry Meguiar, President Meguiars-Host Car Crazy TV
"Bob is who I consider to be one of the consummate radio professionals. He brings wit,
wisdom and style to his broadcasts and is quite simply a pleasure to work with on a
professional level and as simply a friend."
Paul Eisenstein, Publisher www.thedetroitbureau.com & Freelance Auto Journalist
"Bob Long is the consummate radio professional; poised, enthusiastic, topical and quick-
on-the-draw; he entertains by letting his guests do the talking. Bob is very knowledgeable
and fun to work with -- and he's always a question ahead, with that wonderful, deep, voice
that gets your attention...and holds it."
Ken Gross, Noted Auto Journalist & Commentator
"Car guys tend to be car guys but Bob is more than this, he is an educated media journalist
who has the talent to make interviews flow, is always prepared and has a deep seated desire
to bring the news to his audience. In the whole of automotive media I do not know anyone
who works as hard as he does. I am a big fan of Bob Long."
Dick Messer, Former Director, Petersen Automobile Museum
Bob is highly professional, easy to listen to and great to work with. His other radio shows
are entertaining and informative, and we enjoyed having Bob on the Motor Trend team.

3. Bob's a car nut like me. Our paths cross where fiberglass meets Detroit horsepower at the
intersection of Corvette Boulevard and Stingray Alley. Just mention Corvettes around him
and that deep baritone voice starts to quiver. To Bob Long you're the Best! Love your Show!
Corvette Mike Vietro
Bob is a real pro. He asks insightful questions, knows all the right people, and knows his
cars. His show is one that, if you care about the latest cars, trucks or sport utility vehicles -
I mean really care -you cannot miss.
Dutch Mandel, Editor & Associate Publisher AutoWeek Magazine
"I make guest appearances on over 300 radio and TV shows each year, so I get a lot of first-
hand experience of who really knows what about cars. And, Bob Long knows cars. A
lifelong car nut, Bob brings real enthusiasm to his show and packages it in a fact-filled, fun-
to-listen-to format that delivers colorful personalities and downright tough trivia questions.
In fact, Bob does such a good job he's also a regular contributor to our own nationally-
syndicated Motor Trend Radio shows. I don't know how I could give him any more of a vote
of confidence than that!"
C. Van Tune, Former Editor-in-Chief, 1994-2002 Motor Trend/MTTV/MT Radio
“Even after two years of being a "regular guest" on AutoWorld Radio, I am still amazed at
how easy and fun Bob makes the interview experience - for both me, my occasional "special
guest," and the listening audience. Although he professes NOT to be a classic car expert,
you would never know it as his questions and comments about collector vehicles are always
timely & right on the money! "
Jill Bookman, VP, American Collectors Insurance
"Bob is one of the hardest working guys covering the automotive world on radio. He always
seems to be present at the important introductions and events and he has the background
and knowledge to probe beyond the superficial facts that satisfy most other broadcast
journalists. I enjoy his show very much."
Csaba Csere, Former Editor-in-chief, Car and Driver magazine
"When you're on the air with Bob you feel like the whole world is listening in. He's so
enthusiastic about cars and car people and sets up such great interviews that you have to
4. believe anyone with a passion for cars is listening to this show. He's one of those rare radio
personalities that make you feel right at home as soon as the ON AIR sign lights up."
Dennis Adler, Editor-in-Chief, Car Collector Magazine
Bob Long is simply one of the most professional, detail-oriented, engaging, entertaining and
dynamic radio hosts on the air today. I had the pleasure of working as his producer for
Auto World, and enjoyed each and every show. Bob has a natural way of connecting with
his guests, callers and audience that is extraordinary, and his knowledge of automobiles is
unparalleled. A true radio and automotive genius
