Enjoy the breakdown of the Paris Motor Show with Jodi Lai, Editor-in-cheif at Autoguide.com. It's a great conversation about the show, what you'd expect to see there, and who you wouldn't see there. We also nerd out on our love for wagons, and I drool over the fact that she rolled up to the recording in a HELLCAT!

Happy New Year! I'm in a remote location, and forgot my hard drive full of my guest interviews, so the first of this year is going to be a return to the $15,000 Used Car Challenge. Back to your regularily scheduled programming next tuesday! Enjoy.

Ryan is an incredibly interesting (and Canadian) individual who I came across in another automotive podcast, (go figure), called Maximum Driftcast - a show that you can very easily find yourself being lead down the rabbit hole of drifting.  So Ryan came up as a person of interest to me through a lot of conversation about his involvement with the FIA and how its role plays out in the motorsport of drifting.... his clout in this role comes from years upon years of judging drifting across the globe, piloting his own drift car once-upon-a-time, and generally being a celebrity figure in the drift scene due to his tremendous knowledge and experience.  If you've ever wanted a peak behind the curtain of drifting, from one of the most qualified to reveal it, this is certainly going to be an episode for you.

Having the opportunity to sit down with the founders of Radwood was humbling, gratifying, and inspiring all at the same time. These guys have put so much on the line to make Radwood such a phenomenon, and although I tried not to pour my heart out about it, the commitment they've made to stoking the fires of automotive enthusiasm should continue to be celebrated - just as they've done, with Radwood. Radwood Guests: Lane Skelton - DWA!, Art Cervantes - DWA!, Warren Madsen - DWA!, Rick Deacon - ClutchKick, Mikey Kepler - ClutchKick, Bradley Brownell - Writer Extraordinaire

I give a pretty clear description once the episode begins, so I'll leave it to you to stay tuned for episode 49, on Oblivion: The 80's and 90's Car and Culture show, being held on August 25th in Milton, Ontario. You'll recognize Justin Sookraj's voice from a previous episode back in September 2017 - but we have a completely different topic this time around....... we're going back.

I'm here with another episode, and in this one, I'm live on location at Drift Jam with Jover, and Devo. Drift Jam is without questions, one of the best events I've attended. Motorsport, or not. If you love drift, haven't ever experienced drift, or run events every week, you can't miss what these guys are putting on - its epic.

In this episode I chat with Kyle Patrick, Editor in Chief of GTPlanet. As the name probably leads you to believe, GT being Gran Turismo originally, this episode is about the online world of cars, racing, and the tremendous amount of enthusiasm that is had for them around the world.  We touch on trends in the gaming world, how the online world is integrating some pretty incredible technology to give drivers in simulators, some of the same feedback we experience in the real world. Force feedback wheels are one thing, but beginning to feel understeer in a wheel set up is pretty damn cool if you ask me. We finish with what Kyle and GTPlanet have evolved into, which keeps its roots in Gran Turismo and the gaming world, but is now impressively crossing over into how cars are behaving in the real world too.

This past weekend I was on location for the second time, at Fitted Toronto's 9th annual event. Serious kudos to David Soo and Arthur for the near decade of running such a successful event. While at Fitted my first two guests are Senior Editor Micky Slinger, and Associate Editor Adam Gordon from Performance Auto & Sound Magazine (PASMAG). These guys undoubtedly have an endless supply of cool car stories, and that was apparent after the first few minutes of talking to them. So I tried to dig into some top level topics about the magazine, and then as I always do,  get to know what it was that got them into cars in the first place. A quick apology for the wind noise and fluctuating volume levels of this episode. I was working with a brand new rig, made a rookie mistake and didnt have proper wind covers for my lav mics...... as a result I ended up fighting to regulate the levels the whole time.

An indulgent episode. I'm back] with a very good friend of the show, Laurance Yap, and we're all set to talk about Laurance's experience at the somewhat newfound pilgrimage to california for an air-cooled love fest many of you know as Luftgekühlt.

I have a returning guest, Mr.David Soo, to discuss the topic of car shows. In particular we discuss a show that David's been curating for nearly a decade. The show, and the brad are called Fitted, and through the many years it has been running, David has learned a ton. And, just that Ton is what I wanted to talk to him about on this episode. So, stick around as we start at the beginning, and then dig into David's views of past, present, and future auto shows and events through the lense of his youthful yet veteran eyes. Enjoy!
