The high-profile New Zealanders will each take Murphy for a spin in their own cars<\/a>, with Murphy in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n

The first few minutes of each episode are recorded on the road, with Murphy asking everything from how they learned to drive to what\u2019s lurking in the glovebox. <\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s back to the studio for a more unfiltered conversation about defining moments, driving habits and the lessons that stuck.<\/p>\n

The first episode features radio personalities Jay Reeve and Duncan \u201cDunc\u201d Heyde, who take Murph for a cruise in Dunc\u2019s 1997 V8 Chevy Suburban, \u201cwith 11 cup holders\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dunc owns up to being a mellow driver \u2013 \u201cI can\u2019t remember my last speeding ticket\u201d \u2013 but doesn\u2019t hold back on the risks of fatigue. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf I think I want to push through, I stop for fresh air,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust don\u2019t drive tired.\u201d<\/p>\n

AutoSense CEO Charles Dawson said supporting the podcast was a no-brainer. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Driver\u2019s Seat brings road safety into the mainstream \u2013 not through lectures, but through stories that stick.”<\/p>\n

Murphy is a four-time Bathurst 1000 winner.<\/p>\n
