Gareth Jones On Speed is a car and motorsport podcast written and performed by UK TV presenter Gareth Jones and made by tv and podcasting production company WhizzBang. [ [http://www.whizzbang.tv WhizzBang - Independent Media Production ] ]

Hosted by Jones, the show has an irreverent style and features a regular cast of Zog (AKA musician and journalist Paul Ireson) Richard Porter (creator of cult web-site Sniff Petrol and Script Editor of BBC's Top Gear) and TV presenter and writer Violet Berlin. The show began in August 2005 after a visit to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Whilst chiefly an audio podcast there are occasional video episodes such as the "London Grand Prix" and "Don't Call Me Carface".

GJOS distinguishes itself from other motor sport podcasts with a lively mix of serious chat, comedy sketches, and bespoke music. The original and witty songs deal with the world of cars and motor sport and are often recorded in the style of some well-known artists. Titles have included:

* U2"-2" - Guidance from above (about Sat Nav)
* Dexy's Midnight "Racers" - "Come On Eddie" (tribute to Eddie Jordan's F1 team)
* Amy Wine"glass" - "Back To Black" (about the use of Carbon Fibre in motorsport)
* 'Barry" Numan - "My Car's Electric"
* Kräft"wurst" - "Autobahn UK"

Many major British and international motor sport stars have appeared on the show, such as Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Robert Kubica. New editions are published roughly every 12 days and over 50 episodes in total have appeared to date (Mar 2008). On many occasions during 2007 Gareth Jones On Speed was the highest placed non-video show in the iTunes games and hobbies/automotive chart, making it the most popular automotive audio podcast in the world.
