TAXI TALK PODCAST
THE CONVERSATION DRIVING THE INDUSTRY FORWARD
After a hugely successful first season that reached over 50,000 viewers, Taxi Talk is back - bigger, bolder and better than ever. The podcast, which has quickly become the go-to voice of the UK taxi and private hire industry, continues to grow in popularity, bringing together drivers, operators and innovators to share their stories and insights.
Season 2: studio guests and specials
Following the momentum of Series 1, Taxi Talk Season 2 kicks off on 12 November 2025, featuring a dynamic line- up of industry figures and special guests. The season will include insightful conversations with names such as Tom Pugh, Rachel Dale, Lee Ward, Mike Amman and Peter Bresland, along with themed episodes like the Christmas Special, a Hope Cancer Research feature, and the much-anticipated Pakistan Special.
The introduction of regular studio recordings has elevated the production value, allowing for more engaging face-to-face conversations, professional sound quality, and visual highlights for YouTube and social media audiences. Viewers can expect more energy, more humour, and a deeper look into the real stories that keep the industry moving.
Season 3: ask the expert with David Lawrie
Launching in March 2026, Season 3 will feature a dedicated run titled “Taxi Talk: Ask the Expert with David Lawrie.” This 20-episode series brings David Lawrie - one of the industry’s most respected minds - into the studio for in-depth discussions and practical advice sessions that tackle the challenges and opportunities facing operators today. Each episode will focus on key topics such as fleet efficiency, technology and data, EV adoption, driver retention, customer service and industry regulation, with David offering clear, actionable insights drawn from decades of experience.
