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.

    Keeping it Interesting!
    I’m new to all things automotive and started listening to The Autopian’s Podcast. It’s fun and interesting and entertaining!!! I love the variety of topics and hearing from the guys who all come from different backgrounds - this makes for a well-rounded and sometimes very funny discussion!

    Great, fresh automotive podcast!
    I’ve listened to the first couple of episodes and am totally digging it! The three hosts have different backgrounds but excellent chemistry. They have insightful & meaningful commentary on the topics they cover, so I’m looking forward to where this will go in the future.
