Curb and Canyon: A Porsche Podcast
Welcome to Curb and Canyon – a podcast for Porsche enthusiasts BY Porsche enthusiasts. A collaboration between Porsche tragics, Andy Gaunt of ‘Last Rasp’ and James McGrath of ‘Auto Amateur’, Curb and Canyon is all about the lifestyle choice that is Porsche ownership. We’re not experts, we’re mates having a laugh about owning and driving these great cars, the roads we’ve driven, the upgrades we’ve made, the mods we’ve messed up and the great people we’ve met along the way. We want the world to know how awesome it is to own a car with the Porsche crest on the hood! New episodes dropping weekly with regular guests and panelists from across the Porsche world.

Porsche has released a new update on its finances and business strategy and, somehow, managed to talk about Porsche without really talking about cars. Bold move. So naturally, James and Andy are here to overreact responsibly.
This month on Curb and Canyon, we dig into Porsche’s latest corporate brain dump: what it says, what it doesn’t say, and whether anyone in Stuttgart remembered that the whole point of...
Ear Muffs. You've been warned! We're often a little swear'y here at Curb and Canyon but in this episode we're not holding back. James gives us his views on the recent launch of the convertible GT3 (it's hard to type that let alone talk about it), Andy launches into a segment on a term that gets thrown around inappropriately and inaccurately by many Porsche owners and both get rath...
Welcome back to Curb and Canyon! The podcast for Porsche enthusiasts made by Porsche enthusiasts who love talk all things Stuttgart and don't mind getting a little swear'y as they do it - but then what do you expect when you give an Australian and a Brit their own show and just let them have it...?!
Join us in this episode where we talk about a recent guest spot we enjoyed on '9 Werks Radio...

The perfect sports car should look incredible, handle with precision, and sound like it means business—but do modern Porsches deliver on that final criterion? In this episode, Andy questions why a Cayenne GTS sounds more aggressive and exciting than the flagship 911, sparking a debate about whether sound is even essential to the sports car experience.
James shares his recent journey to Amelia Isl...

We're talking about Andy's recent 'Mega-Loop' Rally and his upcoming 'Alpine Ridge Rally 10' while James is getting ready for his annual pilgrimage to the Smo...
Andy and James share their reactions to the 992.2. Porsche just recently announced the second generation 992 and besides adding a T-Hybrid engine that comes with the GTS variant, they're throwing everything else away - no rear seats, no manual transmission, no more key-start ignition, no more analog instrument cluster gauges. The cheek!
In this episode we're also talking about the rece...

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
