Episode 2: Make-A-Wish For Racist Grandpa (or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The America250 Grand Prix)

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 4 février 2026 • Durée 01:39:04

Hello! In this episode (which is not a 1.3GB .wav file this time!) we realize we accidentally became Important at Work and now lots of people want to listen to us. Luckily, the universe bestowed us with an incredible piece of Content for episode two: The America250 Grand Prix of Washington D.C. (in the middle of August!) Also, we discuss the end of Tesla's Model S and X, the end of the Santa Cruz, and run through the Indycar calendar to decide which races are actually still worth going to.

New intro music is 'oops i did too much k while listening to toby fox on repeat' off stella spazzatura's album Horse Tranquilizer Simulator, which you can find on Bandcamp!

Jordan & I have decided we're going to try and make this a Wednesdays-show with a bonus episode for Patreon subs, btw. No worries if you can't afford a sub, you will still get plenty of us.

Tran Girlismo Episode 1: What Is Going On With "Car Culture"

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

jeudi 29 janvier 2026 • Durée 01:22:48

Hello!

Here is my attempt at a podcast with my good friend Jordan Hoffstetter! The premise: two car journalists who want to stop loving cars but can't make themselves stop. In this episode we lay out our premise, discuss the challenges of car enthusiasm in 2026 (HINT HINT IT'S MOSTLY THE DECLINE OF EMPIRE AND LATE CAPITALISM), and talk about how Jerome Powell making a hostage video bodes poorly for The Automotive Industry.

As an aside, I'm working on getting these on Spotify and Apple Podcasts still; please bear with me while I try and figure it out!

Episode 3: The DOT Is The Last Bastion Of Democracy [With Guest November Kelly]

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 12 février 2026 • Durée 01:51:51

Our first guest episode is here! On this episode we welcome November Kelly of No Gods, No Mayors, Trashfuture, Well There's Your Problem, and Kill James Bond! In this episode, Victoria gets a crash-course in who Lewis Hamilton's new girlfriend Kim Kardashian is, our hosts attempt to process the knowledge that Jeffrey Epstein couldn't successfully import a Toyota Century, we collectively try to untangle the mess of British masculinity that is Top Gear, and the two of us make November rank every single Bond car on a scale of 1-1,000,000.

This is a very loose episode, but it was extremely fun and we hope you enjoy! Thank you so much to November for joining us. Our first bonus episode will be coming next week, as well!

Episode 4: Jony Ive And His Consequences Have Been A Disaster For The Human Race

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 19 février 2026 • Durée 01:32:07

Hello! In this episode, we discuss the Ferrari Luce interior (feat. Squircle King Jony Ive), the (possible?) death of the Porsche 718 EV, and Victoria puts on her hammer-and-sickle hat to discuss why she thinks Waymo could be good, but probably won't be. We also shout out Thomas Sabula, the sole man at Ford more powerful than Jim Farley. Go off, king.

First bonus episode coming later this week for Patreon subscribers!!!

[PREVIEW] BONUS Ep. 1: Reader Questions, Brought To You By Weed Vape & Kirkland Signature London Dry Gin

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

dimanche 22 février 2026 • Durée 05:07

Hello! In our first bonus episode, we discuss how I could have been JD Vance, and also try to cover as many reader questions as possible while drinking and stoned after recording for three straight hours! This is a very loose episode so please expect it to be such; we might add more structure in the future so if this wasn't your bag, please suggest some ideas and we're open to them!

Thanks so much for subscribing and giving us money so I can pay rent; we truly hope you enjoy! Jordan edited this one, give her a little round of applause, also!!

Episode 5: Strap In Girls It's Time For An Episode About Private Equity

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mercredi 25 février 2026 • Durée 01:42:51

On this episode of Tran Girlismo it's time to break down the First Brands collapse, so strap in for the most transgender explanation of shadow banking and private equity you'll hear this week. Also, Jordan fills Victoria in on Renault/Alpine's F1/WEC implosion. Then we exercise our right to make this podcast a little bit of a photography show because we wanna, and talk about private equity again in the context of the Kodak Alaris/Eastman Kodak split and the surprising direct distribution of Ektar and Ektachrome!

Kodak if you're listening we'll both sell out for a pallet full of Ektachrome :)

Episode 6: The Curly Of The Big Three Stooges, a.k.a. Stellantis

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mercredi 4 mars 2026 • Durée 01:32:19

Hello! In this episode, Jordan starts us off with genuinely one of the funniest jokes Victoria's ever heard in her podcasting career during a discussion of how we like to fly. We then discuss the fact that Volkswagen is almost certainly going to whiff on launching Scout (remember Scout?) because The Vibes Are Off. Then we give the fans what they DEMAND and deep-dive into the train wreck of STELLANTIS on the heels of them losing Twenty Six Billion Dollars. Then Jordan gives me the scoop on a BDS-compliant Forza Horizon, aka "TDU: Solar Crown", and how we miss when car games were still fun.

Also sorry about the little bit of background noise from me, Victoria, I absolutely had to run the dishwasher because I had run out of clean forks and we record right before I eat dinner. I promise I will be better about doing my silverware.

Editor's Note: P.J. O'Rourke is dead.

Episode 7: Risky CIS-ness [With Guest Kevin McCauley]

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 12 mars 2026 • Durée 01:51:25

Hello! In this episode we invite our old friend, author, and fellow podcaster Kevin McCauley! We catch up a bit on what we've all been up to in the past five years since the girls left Texas, and offer a lengthy digression about what Porsche calls their early fuel injection systems. (Hint: It's CIS.) Then we dive into a discussion of what Porsche Influencer Magnus Walker is up to on the heels of his newest Sotheby's hypebeast starter kit auction.

Check out Kevin's absolutely incredible book, Waiting For The Sun To Come Down at Carrera Media! And if you want more Kevin you can listen to him (biannually) on New For '96! He also has a fantastic YouTube channel for automotive photographers called Capturing The Machine!

Episode 8: This one is about Aston Martin, the UK, Broads, and Being Abroad

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

jeudi 26 mars 2026 • Durée 01:45:56

Hello folks, once again it is Jordan here, as our dear Victoria is finishing up her European Goodwill and Cultural Exchange program. So, like a substitute teacher rolling in a TV cart with a big ol' CRT on the top, I am going to be doing the show notes for this week! Also, just a note, Victoria wasn't on her usual setup, because she is obviously not at home right now, so she's gonna sound a lil different.

This week, we talk about many things such as, my wedding to our darling editor Stella, and Victoria's trip to Pittsburgh to join me for said wedding! (Mostly I think she was there to ride the funicular, but like, the wedding was for sure part of it)

Oh also, we have a track map for the Freedom 250! It is so bad

We talk about that, catch up on some news we missed while we were in pre-recorded episode land, and boy howdy minus the smiling friends thing it's all been real dire in ways that aren't funny!

Speaking of things that aren't really funny Bahrain/Saudi GP cancelled!

The news that we're losing a month of F1 due to American misadventures leads us to talking about how F1 has started this year, Jordan's thoughts as a long time fan, and whether it's interesting in the right ways. Spoilers: You're probably falling for the Chud Agenda if you don't like it.

To cap it all off, I lead Victoria through the very dumb lifecycle of money spending and corporate partnerships that has lead to Aston Martin selling a track car derived from a race car derived from a track car derived from a road car

It's a great episode, and it was honestly so nice to record again after a few weeks off due to wedding, power outages, and travel. We should be back to normal, but in the mean time, make sure you are subscribed to our $4 and up tier here on Patreon to get access to our second bonus, which was a feature length commentary track for the very first Fast and Furious movie.

Episode 10: We Live On The Wrong Side Of The Lithium Curtain [With Guest Kevin Williams]

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

jeudi 9 avril 2026 • Durée 01:37:21

Hello everyone, and welcome to breaking big two-digit barrier! On this episode, I catch up with my old coworker and fellow (current!) automotive journalist Kevin Williams of InsideEVs! On this episode we reminisce about having a healthy industry... and then break into a discussion about how goddamn cooked America is in the Global Cold War Of EVs. China's kicking our ass, y'all. We then discuss the new average monthly payment, per Edmunds, of $773 for a new car. Which is fucking insane, right????

Sorry about the funky audio on this one, we made a mistake with our recording setup on this guest episode and had to use a backup track to have an episode, so Jordan and I sound like we're calling in from a WWII field telephone. For the proper listening experience on this episode, I recommend blasting this on a '93 CRX HX two-speaker sound system as you sit in traffic on the 610. Because of the audio issues, I will be reading out name-reading tier subscribers next episode, I apologize for the delay!!

Check out Kevin's TikTok for videos from his upcoming China trip, too! You can also follow him on Bluesky!

Also: If you want to get a Tran Girlismo shirt or a bumper sticker, you can here - preorders are open through April 20th!
