This episode is about materials used in a high performance engine.

You might want to turn the volume down a bit for the beginning of this show. After the torture is over, I talk about stability control systems. The show finishes up with a song from my favorite local band, Cold Filtered. Tell me what you think and if you would like more music in future shows.

Send me an email with the name of the two songs I played (or attempted to play) and I'll mention you on the next show.

This episode focuses on superchargers, and how they compare to turbos. Actually, "focuses" might be wrong term because I ended up spending more time telling side stories. Hope you enjoy, and maybe even learn something.

Everything you wanted to know about brakes that I could fit into 40 minutes of rambling. Thanks to Ben, Matt, and Brandon for suggesting the idea for a brake episode.

The picture here is from a Ducati 998... I know it's not a car, but it's much easier to get a good brake shot on a motorcycle.

After an extended break, here is the next episode. Based on a suggestion from Adam Levy I talk about different options for drivetrains and differentials.

I'm also going to switch over to libsyn as the host of this homepage instead of Radio Userland. Radio was causing me troubles and let's face it... it doesn't make sense to host a "podcast" on something called "radio". Hopefully the transition will go smoothly. Let me know if you see any problems.

This episode of Podcast Auto is about turbochargers. They can be a heavy subject, so I'm not sure if the show will answer your every question, but hopefully you'll learn something new.

I've also started a Flickr account for pictures. The first batch is from the autocross event I covered last show. Check them out if you are interested.

Another episode of PodcastAuto. This time I take you along to an autocross event where I raced my BMW M3. The technology discussion might be a little light this time, but I'll try to make that up to you next time.

Here is the third episode of PodcastAuto. I apologize for the delay between the last show and this one. I had a week out a town, and then lots of little computer gremlins conspiring to keep this show off the 'net. Let me know what you think and thanks for listening.

Show number two. With gas prices getting higher and higher, I thought a show about octane would be useful. If your vehicle takes premium fuel like mine do, this episode of Podcast Auto will hopefully explain why the higher octane fuel is a necessity. Maybe it will ease the pain of paying so much for it.

The first episode of Podcast Auto! There are some introductions and explanations of what the plan for the show is. And as a taste of things to come, I talked a bit about camber angles.
