TGIF! Episode five covers recent automotive news and then we discuss one of the auto industry's most valuable players: the super saloon. Discover the timeline and evolution of the fast family sedan, from the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing BMW E28 M5 to the electric future of fastback four-door rockets such as the Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air.

Episode four finally emerges after being lost inside a five billion GB hard drive. News covers Aston Martin's current financial crisis and what Mercedes is doing to help, after which we cover the Top 25 Automotive Innovations, including the cars they debuted on and the creative companies behind them. Ever wonder when disc brakes were invented? Or carbon fiber monocoques? You'll soon know... P.S. We're finally on Apple and Google Podcasts!

Episode three finally emerges after being lost inside a five billion GB hard drive. Now-belated news covers the Bugatti Divo, after which we discuss nostalgia's place in the auto industry and talk about why it's so hit and miss. P.S. We're finally on Apple Podcasts!

Episode two covers the latest automotive news (a world speed record, a very Italian recall, and the emergence of a new Bugatti) and the onslaught of limited edition supercars. What's really under all that custom-made carbon, and are we getting too much of a good thing?

Welcome to Straight Cut Nonsense - a new automotive podcast hosted by Spencer Beckman and James Wilkinson where we offer our unsolicited and unbridled thoughts on the world of cars, both old and new! We kick off episode one with some automotive news - namely the dawn of a new V6 era and the death of Renault sports models - and introduce ourselves to the audience via a list of our favorite cars (which seems to change with alarming regularity).
