What is the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast?

The Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast is an automotive-focused weekly podcast hosted by a group of friends — Tom, Kyle, Al, Beth, and sometimes guest host Ali — who are all passionate about hot rods, classic cars, and car culture.

Here’s what the show is about:

Car talk & culture – The hosts hang out “in the garage” and chat about all things hot rods, classic cars, custom builds, and automotive history.
Car shows & events – A big focus is covering and promoting car shows and cruises, especially the Hot Rod Tuesday Car Show in Leipsic, Wisconsin, and other regional events across the Midwest.
Interviews & guests – They often bring in guests from the automotive world — car builders, event organizers, racers, and community members — to share stories and insights.
Community & commentary – Episodes mix automotive news and updates with humor, personal anecdotes, and recurring fun segments (like the popular “Shit That Al Says”).

Overall, it’s a relaxed, enthusiast-driven show that celebrates gearhead culture — perfect for anyone who loves cars, meets, and the broader classic/autos community.

How did we get started? Hot Rod Tuesday began in the fall of 2009 with a simple idea: invite a few buddies over for some garage beers and hang out. That night became the official start of something special. We had so much fun that it turned into a weekly tradition that lasted until 2016. In 2016, we decided to take things to the next level and host a car show at the family-owned tavern across the street — Tanya’s Leipsic Tavern. What started as a once-a-year show quickly grew into something much bigger. By 2019, we launched the Hot Rod Tuesday Cruise-In Nights. On our very first cruise night, we had 29 cars. Today, we regularly see 160+ cars, with a record-breaking 330 cars on the final night of 2025. Our Sunday shows wrapped up in 2020, but we’ve continued strong with shows every other Tuesday throughout the summer. Most nights feature live music, great food, cold drinks, and some of the coolest rides in South Central Wisconsin.If you’re a car enthusiast in South Central Wisconsin, Hot Rod Tuesday at Tanya’s Leipsic Tavern is the place to be.
