Raf, and the Subie & YOU! Podcast, is the epitome of the Subaru culture and promotes what is so great about our community. It’s the people, their stories, and the love we have for hobbies. Each episode is packed with positive vibes, good people, and inspiring stories that not only make you fall in love with this community even more, but also give you a fresh perspective for the people and adventure. It’s not often I look forward to Mondays, but Subie & You! Podcast makes me do just that. Thank you!

It is really awesome that we as the Subaru community have access to a podcast that really embodies the passion many of us have for Subaru’s. Subie_and _you is the first podcast I spool up when i’m out on my many adventures in my Forester. The podcast is very well produced with great audio quality which I believe is crucial in a podcast. If you are as passionate about Subarus as I am then you need to be listening to this podcast now!!!

One of the best podcasts out. I love listening while on my way to work and hearing about everybody’s Subaru journey! Definitely worth a listen!

I was on episode 159 and it was a dream come true! I’ve been listening to the subie and you podcast for over 2 yrs now and it is always great to hear new episodes every Monday!! Such a great podcast. It’s absolutely amazing having the ability to hear familiar stories, and to be able to relate to them and Rafael honestly has the best Subaru podcast out there. If you’re questioning as to if this podcast is worth it, my answer it yes! Keep it up much love.🤍🤘🏼 you can find me on Instagram at @thatwhitewagon18 , keep on exploring!! 🏕️📸

Prior to meeting you at the 48hr of Tristate, I had heard of your podcast, but had never listened to it. I was astounded when you told me that Jay Mykel, who I met at a Subaru Camping excursion last year, recommended that you talk to me. After that night, as we began the drive home I started listening to your podcast and was hooked. I then remembered that you told me about how Jay Mykel’s episode was a good one to listen to, and I agree. Since then I have listened to many other episodes and have gained more knowledge about brand that brings us together. As a Subaru Ambassador this podcast gives me information that I can share with others and the opportunity to promote your show. It is amazing how one car brand can bring so many people from different walks of life together. Your podcast is proof of that. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you for having my best friend and partner Matthew on the podcast! Incredible podcasting skills and great flow! Peace & Love, David

The Subie and You Podcast is so incredible as it really reaches all the corners of the Subie community. I’m thankful for it and love hearing everyone’s stories. Listening to this podcast might be as good as hearing that subie rumble. Thanks Rafael for your dedication to hosting and editing!

Rafael is amazing! He’s a truly fantastic host who knows what he’s doing and it really shows! From the production quality and just how interesting the content is. Even if you’re not a Subaru owner or even like Subaru, it’s worth a listen too! The Podcast is smooth and it’s very easy to listen too. Which is my favorite part honestly. The guests he has on makes for an interesting combination and really ads to the whole experience! I’m not a Subaru owner but, I really enjoy the content and hearing from the Subbie Community! As a fellow car enthusiast, it’s great to hear from other like minded enthusiast about our passion. Rafael’s podcast is a 5/5 and I couldn’t recommend it more!

I look forward to this show every week. As a new first time Subaru owner I love hearing what’s up in the community and how people are having fun with and modifying their cars. Great show, Raf!!

Written by (SubaRin) Three words Community Community Community First off, If you’re looking for some expert that knows every model of Subaru car, every engine, every rally driver and race, or who runs his tank of a car down extreme trails every week, then this podcast is not for you. However, if you’re new to Subaru, or returning back after a long departure, if your looking for a window into the modern Subaru family, a place to start off your network, if you’re looking for a fun gateway to new people, groups, events, and companies in this always growing Subaru community, then THIS is it. Raphael is the well spoken and memorable host who will be your lens into the community as he learns all about the many different aspects of Subaru. Episodes take the form of interviews with community guests, where he always asks well thought out questions which drive diverse and entertaining conversation. The wide range of guests will discuss topics such as rally driving, car camping, street builds, driving techniques, Subaru history, trips all around the world, engine mechanics, amazing charity causes and custom mods. So very very many mods… In short the Podcast is a catch all for any of your Subaru needs. Quickly speaking of technical details, the podcast is well edited down with near perfect audio mixing and recorded in a most professional method. The ads, if you can even call them that are solely community driven company shoutouts and even then are all grouped together at the front of each episode. Additionally, a set of custom music rounds out a full and complete package. Over the course of the past couple months I slowly listened to the full podcast from ep one onwards as I worked nights and not only was I enjoying every episode, every guest and discussion, but also learning so much along the way. Finding people in my area to connect with and befriend, realizing all the different approaches to car builds, and so many tricks and tips that I couldn’t even begin to count. I started listening to this podcast as a simple car owner and emerged as a member of a thriving community. Highly recommend this podcast to any Subaru owner or fan, especially those within the off-roading/overland niche or looking to get into it. The show has evolved over the years from a simply good car podcast to becoming one of the core tentpoles which is elevating and showcasing all the best parts of this Subaru community every single week.

Great podcast for the Subie Community.

I’m a serious podcast junkie for years now and am so thrilled to have found this!! I love this show and I am so incredibly grateful to the publisher for taking the time and the effort to do this for the car community. If you are browsing as a Subaru enthusiast or even just someone looking into how people use and love their cars, this is a wonderful place to find yourself. It encompasses beautifully the versatility of the Subaru community and delineates the undertones of our individual sort of ways of living with our cars. I can’t figure out a way to put this quite into words, but an episode will clue you in! Great interviews and a fantastic show. Thanks!!

This podcast is something I look forward to each week, and I love catching up on a stack of old episodes while on long road trips! Great way to learn about the people and community behind these awesome Subaru builds!

As a Subaru and Podcast fan this checks a lot of boxes. Do recommend :)

I have a ‘22 ascent, 5 subarus in, I’m a mom of 2, and dog mom. I love the subaru community, however, when it comes to the mechanics- I’m not so educated. This is the perfect podcast! I’m slowly learning the lingo and this is the perfect podcast to learn without judgement. The host has the best way of wording questions and getting answers that are relatively simple and easy to understand. Thank you! #subaruambassadors

I have been listening to this podcast since episode 1 and love hearing peoples stories about their love for their Subarus. Very inception like when listening to this podcast on the way to a car meet. Raf is a great host! 🙌🏽

This is sort of a dream come true. I was driving in my 1.5 hour commute and thought “it would be great if there was a podcast just about Subarus” so I searched and found Raphael’s podcast. After just one episode I knew I had found my new favorite podcast. The Subaru and You podcast is great because it curates Subaru people from all walks of life and helps eliminate any negative energies that might live on other platforms. It’s not about just speed or off-roading, this podcast includes all types of builds and variations of Subarus. Thank you for this!

I’ve was fortunate to come across this Podcast from episode 1. The guests come from all walks of life & the Subarus they drive vary. The common denominator is their love for Subarus, their ride, and the respect for the Subaru community. Rafael is a great host and he’s able to spark great conversations weekly. What are you waiting for? Give this Podcast a listen.

Great podcast New subi owner first one 2019 cross trek. Love the pod cast great info and awesome community. Was really unaware how great it is. Definitely will be modifying my Cross Trek already done some things. So impressed with this little car and look forward to seeing where it ends up. Keep up the great work definitely look forward to every new episode!

Love this podcast! Didn’t really know how big the Subaru community was until I started listening. I started my IG @bluguroo because I wanted to follow all the cool guests that have been featured on here and kind of put an image to the actual rigs these people come up with. I owe my drive to connect with other enthusiasts on social media and locally because of this podcast. So thank you!

I found the Subie and You Podcast just searching for Subaru content and I couldn’t have found a better Subaru podcast. Being a newbie to the community, you immediately feel the Subaru passion in every interview with everyone you have on. Keep up the amazing interviews. I’m hooked for as long as you will producing. 👍 Stateside7_Outback

One of my favorite parts of MtnRoo group trips are these very conversations around the campfire. Everyone loves nerding out on their car and the energy is contagious.

From starting Episode 1 when there we 83 episodes available, to now being caught up on all episodes; From guests like us in the community, to big names in rally and car parts brands; this podcast has never failed to satisfy. Thanks Rafael for making something For our community and With our community. Keep killin’ it! - @b3bop_and_wrxsteady

This is an awesome podcast!! I don’t own a Subaru but after bending the podcast for the past 2 weeks I am definitely getting a Subaru soon thanks for the inspiration!! Great job brother!!

This is an awesome podcast that highlights why Subarus are not just amazing vehicles but an amazing community as well. I appreciate the work you put in to keep this going and look forward to every episode.

This podcast has brought the Subaru community together, giving a platform for folks to share their builds and products, passions, and some really great stories. Don’t miss this fantastic weekly podcast, and the midweek Subie Scoop for info on events and other happenings!

I’ve followed this podcast from day 1! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting several guests and Rafael in the flesh! So many awesome people and so many great stories to be heard! Rafael has given us a platform to express how much our subies have impacted our lives. So many adventures I’ve been on have been thanks to the guests and host along this wonderful journey! I’m grateful for this podcast for opening up this wonderful subie filled world I now live in! If you havent been listening you gotta catch up. Don’t miss out on all these amazing episodes!

I found this podcast several months ago while looking for new podcasts to listen to on my long drives. The first episode I listened to was the Rhianon Gelsomino episode. I have always been interested in Rally racing and hearing Rafael and Rhianon dig into the behind the scenes was amazing! Rafael has such a variety of guests. Hearing the stories behind the builds of these cars have had me laughing, crying, and have inspired me to mod my car even more! The off-road Subaru community is not nearly as known as the tuner community. Rafael is single-handedly growing the family one guest at a time. I highly recommend this podcast for any level of car enthusiast, from the newbie who just got their first car, the the ultra experienced (spends every second of the day modding their car) enthusiast. Keep up the great work Rafael, and thank you for everything you do.

Definitely one of my favorite podcasts! Rafael continues to grow the Subaru community through his interviews with Subaru owners. The listeners are rewarded by learning about many different facets of the owners life, not just their car. This podcast really emphasizes the “& YOU!” element of car ownership and community, helping people connect with others in a time where connection can feel far and few between.

I found this Podcast after looking at Subaru cars on Instagram. I have been listening to Raf interview people from many different genres of Subaru life. It has been equally entertaining and informative. Thanks to this Podcast I now follow Subaru Rally team. I believe this Podcast is only getting better the more episodes I listen too… Listened to about 50 so far not counting the Subie Scoop. With that being said, Raf keep up the good work, and maybe one day we can meet on one of the trails in the Pacific Northwest!

This podcast has been one of the only podcasts i have a subscription to, I enjoy hearing all the stories about everyone’s builds and what has inspired them to do their builds. Rafael does such an awesome job finding and editing all of the content together! Definitely liking the intro music!!

Just what the Subaru world needed! Awesome content and community!

I typically listen to podcasts where I can hear insight from business’s and entrepreneurs. The Subaru aftermarket business community is not usually showcased in other corners that I am in. Thank you Rafael for bringing this opportunity for us to connect and hear personal testimonies from within our culture.

Another Spotify listener coming over to review the Subie & You podcast on Apple. Raf is an amazing community builder with a big heart and an even bigger love for the Subaru community. The Subie & You podcast is a great way to learn about all things Subaru whether it be daily drivers, serious soft-roaders, or track day tire eaters. The episodes are easy listening and very informative and I always find myself smiling while listening to it. Keep them coming and keep building the community of Subaru enthusiast!

If you love all things subie you need to listen to this podcast! I started listening at the beginning of the year and have binge listen to pretty much all of the(I’ll be caught up be the end of the week). This podcast really has made getting through my work week that much better. Even for me to make an Instagram for our crosstrek. Thanks for all you do Rafael for the subie community! -sasqtrek

I really enjoy listening to this. I’ve learned a lot about not only off-roading subies, which is my focus, but also been introduced rally and others. I found this podcast from friends posts on Instagram in the fall of 2021. I’ve randomly gone back and picked out some episodes that were done before I caught it. Really a fantastic podcast that brings together all fans of Subarus. It’s entertaining and informative and is a pleasure to catch every week. Your fan, PickleBack.2016

First off- Rafael has found a way to unite the entire Subaru community with this podcast. From off-roading foresters and crosstreks, to the speed demons and rally owners- if you have a subie you’re part of this community. He interviews the well known me and the up and comings. This podcast is filled with joy and passion. and even vocalizes on some personal struggles or achievements when it comes to every owners build and life. Thank you Rafael for making this podcast a way for all of us to connect, grow and learn from each other’s stories. I personally have felt so lonely until I got my crosstrek, and since then my community has grown into a huge subie family- and has continued to grow thanks to the weekly and now twice weekly episodes. I encourage everyone to listen, and continue to promote this podcast. Subie & you! Is for everyone. so please, pop in your headphones and enjoy the stories from the subie world, you won’t regret it. I promise. -Mushutrek98

I started listening a while into this podcast being created so there was a lot of content to go back and catch up on….. and now, I can’t stop listening. It’s like the best binge there is for a Subaru enthusiast! Beginners, seasoned owners, all car lovers…. You’ll find something here that you’ll really appreciate hearing. I’ve enjoyed learning new things that relate to the industry and community and it’s been refreshing to hear other Subie owner stories as it inspires and builds confidence. Raf’s voice and dialogue is seriously easy to listen to in the car, during work, doing house projects.. you won’t won’t to stop! Monday mornings are now my new favorite part of my week… excited for more and more to come! Super fan here 🙋🏻‍♀️

This is the perfect podcast to listen to when you’re just getting started(like me) in your Subaru. I’ve gotten many great ideas for mods I wanna do. Subie & You does an amazing job showing how awesome and accepting this community is.

We really love this podcast and is one of our favorites we look forward to week after week. The host does a great job of bringing the Subaru community together and telling some great stories. It’s great to hear guests talk about their experiences and the host does a fantastic job of keeping you engaged! Highly recommend for those enjoying the Subie life or getting out with their cars in general …

We really appreciate was this podcast has brought to the Subie community!! We love listening to all the different people. What they have to say about how their Subaru has brought them so much joy and happiness. How they all have different was of making their rig to their style!! Thanks man doing a Great podcast!! Cheers!! Jonny and Colleen @jack4ster @kuehlkuest ✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦

Listening to the stories of all the different Subie drivers let’s us know how truly amazing the community is. We all have different backgrounds, stories, and experiences but we all can relate and it’s been so great listening to each podcast!

Spreading love for all the Subarus is awesome. Great communication back-and-forth and it sounds good.

Pure love for Subaru! This well written and produced show is a weekly chat about the Subaru Nation. The host is very genuine, and you can tell he’s just a darn good person. If you love your Subaru or are thinking about a Subaru this is a great listen. I alway look forward to Monday’s.

The only reason I look forward to Mondays! Now Instagram isn’t the only place to share your story. It’s great to hear the stories of some of the most genuine people in the community and how their Subaru either changed their life, made it better, or gave them opportunities (especially those looking to give back! 💙🤍) It’s a positive way for newcomers to learn and be more connected when looking for groups or information on popular builds. I look forward to the growth of this podcast. It’s off to a great start 🤍 - panicxtrek

Raf does a phenomenal job with this podcast. It’s so awesome to listen to him interview all of the different Subaru owners and find out what drives them. This is a must listen! Keep up the hard work brother!

Rafael does a great job hosting and bringing on guests that always have a good story to tell. I know have a reason to look forward to Mondays.

Great to see a bunch of positive people supporting each other and not spreading hate throughout the soft road community! From your fellow friend BattleWagongang, keep it up guys!
