The Bucket Seat

In this episode my guest is Olivia Scaffidi, a super talented automotive photographer, writer, and complete gear head. She takes us through the things that inspire her in the automotive world, the impressive body of work she's developed relatively quickly since beginning her time as a photographer, and how she's been able to work here way into the tightly knit muscle car community to shoot & document some seriously cool cars across north america.

In this episode of The Bucket Seat Podcast, I have the one and only Laurance Yap back on the show, for a whopping 4th visit - and this time he is back to let us know what it is like to experience the Goodwood Festival of speed, firsthand.PS. my reference to hosting a Bucket Seat K1 Karting date has been postponed due to a nearly identical Trillium BMW club event - which I am participating in. Stay tuned for a future Bucket Seat karting hang!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Adi Desai. the editor in chief of DoubleClutch.ca.  Adi has a ridiculous collection of cars, he co-hosts his own automotive podcast, and is generally a source for endless automotive conversation, in a good way. What I loved about our conversation is how Adi has a finger on the pulse of new cars in North America - but he's also quick to give you a history lesson on old benzs, hondas and lexusesssssssesssesssss....... Enjoy!

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.
