Episode 38: Eric Starkman, journalist at Starkman Approved
Are US automakers headed back to the bad old days of the 1970s? Journalist Eric Starkman joins us for a special episode of our show to drill into that question.
Eric worked in Detroit (among other places) years ago, and he still regularly covers the big stories from the Great Lakes State. Nowadays he exposes the warts that ought to be exposed at his own outlet, Starkman Approved (www.starkmanapproved.com).
Unfortunately, he's had a lot of warts to expose when it comes to the car industry lately. Like half a century ago, American-made cars today are suffering from a steady stream of quality defects and recalls, and the companies that make them have made some rather questionable business decisions lately.
Tune in and hear Eric tell the whole sad story.
