I'm just going to say it

If there was ever a group of people fully justified to make a crappy podcast where they watch their old show one episode at a time and reminisce about making it. Even if they only covered specials it would've been very... special.
Then again, why cheapen how great of an ending "One for the road" was.

VINDICATION!

There is the drivetribe YouTube channel with videos of Richard watching old vehicles he used and he talks about them, there's that at least

I would be happy if they made a podcast like once a month or week where they just banter and talk about cars.
MJLDat@reddit
And they could film it, and maybe drive some of those cars? I think Jeremy has a nice tent they could do it in?
CretaceousClock@reddit
How about instead of a podcast they all have a conversation?
Tooch10@reddit
On a street, even
Maybbaybee@reddit
Where they can share The News
carloslet@reddit
They could even go on the internet and find stuff like this
AB365_MegaRaichu@reddit
Where they can enjoy a round of chat
Former-Hospital-3656@reddit
and maybeee hire a racecar driver and have those cars go around a track!
MJLDat@reddit
But keep it grounded by having a reasonably priced car included. Maybe invite people to drive it and try and beat the best times.

A monthly detour to plant some daffodils of opinion on the roundabout of chat at the end of Conversation Street.
ScoffingYayap@reddit
Conversation Street/The News alone would make a fantastic podcast
HFSafblge@reddit
Yea it would be great! And they dont even have to meet up to hold a podcast. Just record and then go on with their days!
Offroadracing1227@reddit
I think it would be amazing to get a website filled with all the different photos and videos of behind the scenes with the entire crew and showcasing the journey of where they started to now. Like the ending of the episode but just all the bts stuff
WoodenMango07@reddit
Even if they jumped on Richard and Izzy Hmmonds podcast once a while I would be happy. I really enjoyed the episode when James was a guest
weirdoldhobo1978@reddit
Has anyone else realized that Izzy Hammond is the spitting image of her grandmother? Seriously, watch the Top Gear Mum Run and then one of Izzy's videos. They're practically the same person.
Just_Conclusion7405@reddit
Or maybe they could do a radio show.
Afterall

I think it’s reasonably hopeful at some point y they will do something together. A podcast might just be the best way for some old guys doing their own thing to get together. Not a lot needs to go into it.
That’s all possible, but I think it would be a while. And I don’t know that I can see them step by stepping through their canon. But, just a pod where they get together and shoot the shit, and sometimes reminiscing back on the show canon will come up.
New cars might come up, but Clarkson will always just say “I couldn’t care less” and stonewall it.
Honestly, it would be a couple of old farts sitting around talking about the good old days. And I legit think they can’t see a possible audience for that….at this point.
But you never know later on. In the meantime they have their own things we can enjoy. Richard does a pod with his daughter. I like the concept and some of them are very good. I think James is making a huge miss if he doesn’t do a pod as many of us can listen to him talk about anything.
Both of them also have shows running or coming. And Clarkson will come to us from the farm basically until he doesn’t want to anymore at this point.

Well they can do a Top Gear podcast but the full length video will be on youtube.
They can review some new cars
[youtube] show the testing
Get a guest star in and talking about his car
[youtube] is the reasonable car test
Put new cars of that year in a tier list (very good, good, decent, bad, trash)
And end with news
One podcast in a month. Just do it like Conan or Linus their are huge possiblities to take things easy but in a modern way. But yeah Jeremy has first lose some pounds and mentally in a positions he misses the show.
Chewbaxter@reddit
I like the idea of them sticking to their guns and saying they’re are done working together. That being said, give it five or so years and I wouldn’t be surprised if at least Clarkson and Hammond have a podcast together.
GreatBelgianWaffle@reddit
Clarckson would do it when he put Caleb as official CEO of his farm. I think when he's almost 68 he will quit 'Clarckson Farm' and go back to his cars. You just can put your passion away it will always comeback after a while. He's still doing some reviews for The Sunday Times. But i'm pretty sure he will go back to the roots maybe not the stunts (same for May and Hammond) but reviewing the car, sit together in the car chair rambling about cars, get friends in a reasonable care. Maybe do some stupid stuff like restore a car with a twist like the caravans and that sort of stuff in Engeland.
MyOhMyPancakes@reddit
If you want some behind the scene stuff, Ben Collins (Stig from 2003-2010) is doing a lot of story telling about Top Gear, like he did one about his time driving the Ferrari Enzo
asisoid@reddit
Eh, how about more videos of them doing things like getting drunk and building Lego.
I'd take that instead.
fudgeller83@reddit
Can you imagine Clarkson building Lego? I'm sure he'd get very angry reading the instructions, and then just make a penis
TheVillage1D10T@reddit
Let them retire already!!! They’ve put in so much time and energy over the past 22 years.
Former-Hospital-3656@reddit
Let's start a go fund me petition for it, shall we?
Swiss__Cheese@reddit
I would definitely listen to that!
bodinator1@reddit
Great idea
peaceluvNhippie@reddit
I'm fully interested in the trio making "The speed of birds" podcast
Thatsrightim72@reddit
my guess is that they will distance themselves from TG/GT for a few years and then will get back into something like a podcast. once their current projects finalize they will want some of that fame back. it happens a lot with succesful entertainers...they cannot stay away. its also why RDJ comes back to the MCU as Dr. Doom etc
Optimaximal@reddit
I think you'll actually find it was the huge volume of money they're paying him...
Thatsrightim72@reddit
That I am sure also helps haha. And I can see the 3 guys to also get a bag of money
Aware_Nebula8305@reddit
I would quite happily while away the time listening to the podcast of the three of them just shooting the breeze with each other!
JDMWeeb@reddit
Sweet
VendavalEncantador@reddit
They just might get a text from Mr. Wilman...
GreatBelgianWaffle@reddit
Every sunday
20 hrs (UK) - watching first episode TG till last episode TGT
Every monday
Hammond, May and Clarckson with sometimes a special guest looking back for 40 minuten - 1 hour max on that episode.
Jaxilive@reddit
Ooh, yes please. That would be awesome
