Podcasts about Beetle

What started as a great weekend at the drag strip quickly turned into a moment no racer ever wants to experience. Longtime Volkswagen enthusiast and drag racer Tony Moreci joins us to share the story behind the crash that damaged his iconic 1954 Ragtop Beetle during a recent racing event. Tony has spent decades behind the wheel of this legendary Oval-window Beetle, campaigning it at tracks across the country and earning respect throughout the vintage Volkswagen drag racing community. In this episode, we break down exactly what happened on race day, the sequence of events leading up to the accident, and the emotions that follow when years of hard work and history are suddenly put at risk in a matter of seconds. Beyond the crash itself, we take a look into the history of Tony's '54 Ragtop—its evolution from a classic street car into a well-known drag racing machine—and the memories attached to a car that has become part of his identity. We also reflect on our longtime friendship, the experiences we've shared over the years, and our connection through the legendary DBK Car Club. This conversation isn't just about bent sheet metal and damaged parts. It's about perseverance, friendship, the risks that come with motorsports, and the passion that keeps racers coming back to the starting line. Whether you're a Volkswagen drag racing fan, a vintage VW enthusiast, or simply appreciate the stories behind the people and cars that shape our hobby, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

London's Dracula Connections: Victorian Vampires, Penny Dreadfuls & the Lyceum Theatre (World Dracula Day Special)On World Dracula Day (26 May), London History Podcast host Hazel Baker speaks with Lambeth tour guide and Gothic novelist David Turnbull about how a century of Gothic writing and London locations shaped Bram Stoker's Dracula. They trace early vampire traits through Coleridge's Christabel, Byron's circle and the Villa Diodati summer, Polidori's The Vampyre, and the influence of penny dreadfuls like Varney the Vampire and Lloyd's publications, before moving to Fleet Street magazines and Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla. The conversation highlights Stoker's Lyceum Theatre work under Henry Irving, the Beefsteak Room's literary influences (including Burton and Vambéry), Stoker's research at the British Museum and London Library, and Dracula's London settings from Piccadilly and King's Cross to Hampstead. They discuss Dracula's slow initial success, rivalry with The Beetle, and its 20th-century rise via Hamilton Deane and Bela Lugosi, ending with Turnbull's Dracula-influenced novel The Hurdy Gurdy Man and related London tours.00:00 Introduction05:39 The Romantic Poets & Vampire Origins17:17 Penny Dreadfuls & Fleet Street31:57 Dracula's London Locations36:19 Dracula's Rise to FameSee Show Notes

In this episode of Before the 1st Cast, we break down everything you need to know about mastering the Neko rig and why it's one of the most effective finesse presentations you can throw when bass are being pressured, cautious, or locked up tight to cover. We cover how the nose-weighted setup creates a unique bottom posture that bass can't ignore, how to rig it properly so your soft plastic stays clean and balanced on every cast, and why weedless setups are the key to fishing it in the high-percentage spots where big bass actually live. We also get into how to read the retrieve and let the fish tell you how much action they want, plus how line selection and leader strength can make or break your results. With FreshBaitz soft plastics like the HellaMite, Fresh Scorpion, Fresh Beetle, and FreshBaitz Lizards paired perfectly with this technique, you'll have everything you need to get bit when the bite gets tough.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

It's a transmission episode! Inspired by Jason's recent roadside spotting of a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia with the rare Automatic Stickshift, the Carmudgeons go for a trip into the origins of abandoning the clutch pedal in manual and automatic transmissions. How has human driving behavior changed or stayed the same throughout history regarding the operation of any transmission? === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Jason and Derek begin by discussing the recent repairs on Jason's (and once Derek's) Ferrari 308 GT4 - perhaps the only car discussed on today's episode with a traditional manual transmission. The 308 GT4 just returned from a trip to Aaron Shepherd - one of the most respected auto body specialists in the San Francisco Bay Area - where it received some wonderfully executed rust repair and paintwork. The majority of this episode discusses semi-automatic transmissions throughout history, which begs the question - are any of them any good? Wilson and Cotal Preselector transmissions of the 1930s paved the way for clutchless driving and synchromesh - eventually evolving into applications like Citroen's Citromatic found in the DS21 and Volkswagen's Auto Stickshift found in the Beetle and Karmann Ghia. Even after torque converter automatics, clutchless manuals still found their way into road cars - like Mercedes-Benz's Hydrak Transmission and Ferrari's Valeo Transmission used in late Mondials. Moving into the 2000s, Jason and Derek remark on how troubled many semi-automatic manuals were at the time - including Ferrari's F1 gearbox, Maserati DuoSelect, BMW SMG, Toyota SMT, and others which didn't mind letting a user light a clutch on fire. Luckily - this era was reasonably short-lived, replaced by ZF torque converter automatics and dual clutch transmissions like VW's DSG and NOT Ford's horrid SelectShift found in the 2010s Ford Focus, Fiesta, and Escape.

Super Beetles have long been one of the most misunderstood—and often underappreciated—air-cooled Volkswagens here in the United States. But if you look across the pond, or even dig into certain corners of the hardcore VW scene, the story is completely different. Built from 1971 to 1977, the Super Beetle was actually Volkswagen's most advanced evolution of the classic Beetle platform. With its MacPherson strut front suspension, improved handling, and increased comfort, it marked a major leap forward in performance and drivability. Yet despite those advancements, it never quite earned the respect it deserved in the U.S.—while in Europe, it's celebrated, raced, and even has its own dedicated series: the Kafer Cup. On this episode, we sit down with John List, one of the original founders of SuperBeetlesOnly.com, to dive deep into what makes the Super Beetle special. We talk about the platform's untapped potential, the best performance upgrades, and how parts from other Volkswagen and Porsche models can be adapted to take these cars to the next level. If you're into German Look Beetles, suspension tuning, or just want to understand why the Super Beetle might be the most overlooked performance VW out there—this episode is packed with insight, real-world experience, and inspiration to rethink everything you thought you knew about the Super.

The guys forge ahead with their ‘Peak' car series, and discuss the best eras of brands Maserati through Polestar. They debate cars that are reliable and easy to live with for Steven in New England, who is a VW Beetle enthusiast. Then, Joseph is trying to convince his wife that cars have soul, and don't just have to be a “crossover safety pod.” Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms.
