Is Automotive Journalism Worth It? | PD Podcast Ep. 01

PowerDrift is back, and so is the podcast. 🎙️ In Episode 01, Varun, Anant, and Arezwa sit down and talk about something we get DMs about constantly: How do you get into automotive journalism? How do you land a job at PowerDrift? We share our real stories from walking into a publication’s office in full formals with a resume, to cold-emailing a brand with "your social media sucks, but I know how to fix it." No filters, no script. We also talk about: — What automotive journalism actually demands (it's not what you see on camera) — Why obsession beats passion every time — Why PowerDrift went quiet and what's coming next — The return of cinema-style storytelling, community screenings & more Whether you want to work in this industry or just love automotive content, this one's for you. #PowerDrift #PDArmy #PDPodcast Chapters - 00:00 - Cold open & welcome back 1:36 - What is automotive journalism? 4:17 - Are there courses for this? 7:05 - Arezwa's internship story 10:20 - Anant's journey to join PowerDrift 15:43 - Why PowerDrift was missing & what's changing 23:12 - PowerDrift's return: Cinema, community & 120% commitment 29:37 - What it actually takes to get into the field 34:00 - Obsession over Passion 48:04 - How to apply + job roles at PowerDrift 51:34 - Is automotive journalism well-paying? 1:05:02 - Rapid-fire & closing thoughts Join the 3 Million strong #PDArmy: http://bit.ly/PDARMY Listen to the #PowerDriftPlaylist: https://spoti.fi/3Ny2uVr Follow us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/powerdrift/ Facebook: http://facebook.com/POWERDRIFTOFFICIAL/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/powerdrift WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VamrxqfL7UVRtRwR9F3N Threads: https://www.threads.net/@powerdrift Josh: https://bit.ly/3O8Y6fJ
