Magnus Walker / What's Worth Keeping Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

Magnus Walker is the man who turned air-cooled Porsches into a movement. This is a podcast about letting it go.

He sold 18 cars from his personal collection this spring and kept the 16 he couldn't part with. Three months on, he sat down with us to talk about what's left when you stop collecting: feeling lighter, the worthless van he misses more than the Porsches, and the 356 that found him on his way out the door.

Tommy Thomas: A Fraternity of Lunatics Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

Tommy Thomas spent high school talking about the Cannonball Run and the next four decades not doing it. A career driving fire trucks will do that. Retirement changed the math. Now he crosses the country with a co-driver, a trunk full of countermeasures, and a Cadillac built to look like nothing at all. We get into the laser jammers, the truckers who help and the ones who don't, the cops who go either way, and what it takes to get from one ocean to the other before most people finish a weekend.

Bailey Clayton | Hand Paint vs. Vinyl. Why It Matters Who Wins May 28, 2026

Show notes

Bailey Clayton is a sign painter who taught himself the trade before he knew it had a name. He started with calligraphy in a school notebook and now points squirrel-hair brushes and oil-based one-shot at the sides of race cars, recreating historic liveries by hand. He stands for permanence in a world that re-vinyls everything every five years, and for the belief that a number painted by hand outlasts the business that commissioned it.

Buddy Levy is the author of Labyrinth of Ice, the definitive account of the Greely Expedition. In 1881, 25 men were sent to the Arctic. The government forgot about them. Only six came home. What happened at Camp Clay is one of the most harrowing survival stories in American history.

Part 3 of The Forgotten Ones. We talk about what drove men into the unknown, what happens to the mind in 137 days of darkness, and whether anything like this is still possible.
