AE 393 – Interview: Rev Heads, Car Accidents, & Car Culture in Australia with James Buchan
G’day guys. Welcome to the Aussie English Podcast, the number one podcast for anyone and everyone wanting to learn Australian English.
So, today’s episode is obviously an interview episode. I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my childhood friends from high school James Buchen. He has been a dear friend for probably the better part of 18 years, and we… he’s a bit of a rev head. So, we’ve talked about cars. We’ve talked about Japanese cars, Australian cars, and how he got into cars as a kid, how he started to appreciate them and develop a passion for cars. We also talked about when he was in a car accident, which was an interesting story that we’ll get into here. And then, we go on to discuss what car culture is like in Australia.
So, today’s episode is a good one. It’s just the first half of the total interview. So, this interview was about 40-50 minutes long. The second half we talk about what you need to do to buy a car in Australia, and that will come up in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for that.
Just a few housekeeping messages before we get started, guys. Remember, if you’re enjoying these episodes whether they’re the interview episodes or the other ones and you would like to support the podcast, you can do so via my Patreon page. This is where you guys can get behind me and the Aussie English podcast and donate a small amount of money on a monthly basis in order to keep me doing what I’m doing. So, you can donate anything from one dollar a month upwards, and it’s a way of giving back to a resource that I hope is helping you learn Australian English.
Apart from that guys, if you’re a bit of a nerd and you enjoy studying Australian English in more depth, and you would like to get more out of this interview episode, make sure you sign up to be a student in the Aussie English Classroom where you will get a 5-10 minute break down of this interview where we talk more in-depth about the vocab, the kind of language he uses, as well as the slang terms and expressions. Okay guys, and you’ll get a quiz at the end of that as well.
Anyway, let’s dive into the interview, guys, and I’ll play you the call of a yellow-tailed black cockatoo to take us in. Listen to this.

G’day, guys! Welcome to this episode of Aussie English. Today, I have a special guest with me, one of my best friends from high school, who I’ve probably known now longer than half my entire life.
It’s pretty crazy, isn’t it, when you think about it like that.
