For years, Kia was seen as little more than an alternative to buying a used car. Today it's one of the most closely watched automakers in America, and James Bell, Head of Corporate Communications and Public Relations at Kia America, has had a front-row seat for the entire transformation. A former automotive journalist himself, he explains what separates Kia from its Hyundai and Genesis siblings, why the company is pressing ahead wi...
Race cars have always been rolling laboratories, but the experiment has changed. Thomas Chevaucher, Technical Engineering Director at the FIA, and Pierre Villez, the federation's F1 and Sport Sustainability Lead, help write the rules for Formula 1, Formula E, and the World Endurance Championship, and today those rules are as much about efficiency and emissions as they are about speed. They explain what the sustainable fuels powerin...
The Chinese auto industry moved faster than almost anyone expected, and the numbers are hard to argue with. Legacy brands that once dominated the world's largest car market have watched their collective share collapse in a matter of years. Tu Le, founder and managing director of Sino Auto Insights, spent well over a decade living and working in Beijing and still travels there regularly, which makes him unusually well placed to expl...
To build the 2028 Fathom, Ford went off and started a car company inside its own car company. A small team in Southern California, deliberately kept at a distance from the Dearborn, MI HQ, spent four and a half years rethinking how an electric vehicle gets designed and manufactured, and the first result is an electric pickup that will start under $30,000. Alan Clarke, Vice President of Advanced Development Projects at Ford and a Te...
Everybody worries about the battery when they think about buying an EV. As it turns out, that worry is mostly misplaced, and the data proves it. Scott Case is the co-founder and CEO of Recurrent, a company that tracks the real-world health of tens of thousands of electric cars to give buyers and sellers a clearer picture than they have ever had. He explains why a used EV is a far safer purchase than most people assume, and why the ...
Hands-off driving is one thing. Taking your eyes off the road entirely is something else. General Motors will allow you to do exactly that with the next generation of Super Cruise, its autonomous driving technology. Mandi Damman, Executive Chief Engineer at GM, oversees that effort along with the Chevy Bolt, the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq, and the company's entire battery electric truck lineup. She started as a co-op student working...
Magna is one of the most important automotive companies most drivers have never heard of. Supplying transfer cases, transmissions, e-drives, and hybrid systems to nearly every major automaker on the road, Diba Ilunga is the President of Magna Powertrain. He discusses the surprising shift toward software inside a division that started by building gears. That includes how digital twins let Magna perfect a part's design before it's ev...
What happens to your EV's battery when it's no longer powerful enough to drive? Is there more life left in it than you'd expect? Those are just two of the questions Craig Cole and co-host Sam Abuelsamid put to Kurt Kelty, VP of Battery and Sustainability at General Motors, who spent over a decade leading battery engineering at Tesla before bringing that expertise to GM. The conversation covers second-life battery programs already o...
What does it actually take to build a software-defined vehicle, one that gets smarter over time and may eventually drive itself? Rivian has a specific answer to that question, and Craig Cole and co-host Sam Abuelsamid put it to Vidya Rajagopalan, Senior VP of Electrical Hardware at Rivian, to find out what it actually looks like in practice. The conversation covers the company’s zonal architecture strategy that stripped 44 po...
Scout Motors is building something genuinely unusual: an all-American electric truck brand, owned by Volkswagen Group but completely independent from it, with no dealerships, no franchise agreements, and a gas engine hiding in the back of the truck bed. Craig Cole and co-host Sam Abuelsamid sit down with Ryan Decker, VP of Strategy and Brand at Scout, to get into the details behind the Traveler SUV and Terra pickup truck. The big q...
The car market is shifting fast and few people have a better view of it than Erin Keating, Executive Analyst at Cox Automotive. You may not know the name Cox, but you've almost certainly used their products: Kelley Blue Book, AutoTrader, and Manheim Auctions are all under their roof, along with a treasure trove of data that spans everything from dealer inventory to EV battery remanufacturing. Craig Cole and co-host Sam Abuelsamid d...
What does it actually mean to build a sustainable car? Not just one that sips electricity — but one whose steel, aluminum, and plastics are tracked from mine to scrapyard and back again. Craig Cole and co-host Sam Abuelsamid sit down with Vanessa Butani, Head of Global Sustainability at Volvo Cars, to explore the work happening long before a car reaches the showroom. Topics include Volvo's first-of-its-kind battery passport, ...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
