Car Curious plays automotive podcasts and explains what the hosts are talking about as they talk. A host mentions an Audi RS3 or a limited-slip diff, and a card slides up with the car's specs or what the part does. Tap it to read more, or dismiss it and keep listening. Coming Up lists the next explained moments in the episode before you reach them. Tap one to jump to it. The Transcript tab follows along with the audio. Tap a line to jump to that moment. Afraid to Ask mode explains things in plain language, without assuming you grew up in a shop. Download episodes and follow the shows you like. You can control playback from the Lock Screen or Control Center without taking out your phone. In the car, you get your shows, your queue and new episodes on the CarPlay screen. On Apple Watch, you can control playback from your wrist. Follow a show to get a notification when a new episode comes out, and turn that off per show or for all of them. Shows include Remarkable Results Radio and Everyday Driver Car Debate, among more than 300 car podcasts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Car Curious at none against NASW's shown. Car Curious also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). NASW's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
