Part of the Hagerty Podcast Network, The Viva Bastardo Show is a celebration of all things, “Bastardo!” (meaning an embodiment of the contrarian spirit, the person who sees the normal and proudly declares “this is not for me!”). Hosted by Phil Toledano (a former ad agency guy, a self-proclaimed contrarian, a conceptual artist, an entrepreneur and an enthusiastic collector of interesting cars and exceedingly interesting watches), he may be more familiar to the audience through his Instagram username of @MisterEnthusiast. With a passion for oddball 1970s Patek watches, as well as box flares with four wheels, Phil is the type of enthusiastic collector who focuses on both the overall experience, as well as the aesthetics, and he’s the collector friend we *all* need in our lives. The Viva Bastardo show will feature a variety of interesting guests form the worlds of automotive, watches, sports, entertainment and of course, Bastardo!

Part of the Hagerty Podcast Network, the Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter.

Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 300 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with.

Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.
