Description

Autopians are everywhere. You pass them in the street, you're probably married to one, you may have even birthed one. They come from the four corners of the planet as is represented in this week's podcast. Los Angeles, North Carolina, Australia and the UK are represented on this week's pod as Beau, Torch and Ute-Crushed David speak to the in-house designer Adrian Clark who has worked with such automotive mainstays as Land Rover. Adrian speaks on a number of topics related to design such as explaining the new Defender's "pointless" window square, the new Mustang's evolutionary rather than revolutionary design and even weighing on Torch and David's dirty laundry as the foursome spin out into an argument about whether Quantum Leap is a recognizable television show.

From the hit automotive counter culture website THE AUTOPIAN, The Autopian Podcast features your favorite writers: Jason Torchinsky, Beau Boeckmann and David Tracy. With great insider access, these three long-time friends talk car history, car engineering and the car industry. The Autopian is the ultimate car-culture website run by obsessive car nerds who want nothing more than to make people laugh while teaching them about geeky car minutiae. Founded by the two most-read Jalopnik writers ever, Jason Torchinsky (an artist and comedian) and David Tracy (an automotive engineer) — along with prolific businessman/TV personality Beau Boeckmann — the site places a strong focus on technical expertise, leveraging industry insiders to provide key insight into the automotive world. But as detailed as things get at The Autopian, the site’s main focus is to create fun, engaging content that fosters an inclusive, close-knit automotive community. Beau, David, and Jason literally created the website’s mission statement while sitting in a 1901 Sunbeam-Mabley, surrounded by postwar microcars like a Messerschmitt Tiger (see image above). That mission statement, by the way, is: The Autopian exists to serve the car enthusiast community by creating content that informs and entertains, while celebrating the unifying quality of automobiles.
