Go for Donny! Audio Podcast with Konrad Begg & Jay Kennedy

Go For Donny!

Buckle up for a wild ride on this episode of *Go for Donny!* as host Donny McGuire welcomes two legendary guests from *Top Gear UK*: acclaimed director Konrad Begg and top-tier camera pro Jay Kennedy! 🚗💨
In this exclusive, laugh-filled conversation, Donny, Konrad, and Jay take you behind the scenes of some of the most iconic adventures in Top Gear history. Hear never-before-told stories from the golden era of Top Gear UK, pranks and shenanigans with the US crew, wild road trips across America (and some epic fails), the adrenaline rush of filming with military pilots and Ken Block, and the unforgettable mayhem after shooting in Norway.
The trio dives into what it’s really like to wrangle epic car chases, coordinate jaw-dropping stunts, and survive grueling shoots from Arizona to Botswana, Alaska to New Zealand. From recounting runway mishaps with C130s to recounting dance parties in the desert, you’ll get an inside look at the camaraderie, chaos, and creative magic that drive the world's favorite car show—and the crews that make it all happen.
Whether you’re a dedicated gearhead, a Top Gear superfan, or just love wild travel stories and industry secrets, this episode is packed with banter, heart, and behind-the-scenes moments you won’t find anywhere else.

- How the best Top Gear locations (Alaska, New Zealand, Botswana) were picked and what really goes on after the cameras stop rolling
