Description: In this week's episode of America on the Road, host Jack Nerad and co-host Chris Teague test two of the most talked-about new vehicles of 2025. The Ford Maverick is a compact pickup redefining practicality, while the Mazda Mazda3 2.5 S Carbon Edition is a refined sedan with all-wheel-drive confidence and style. Our special guest is an expert on one of the most important vehicles to be released this year, the all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4.

Carli Kierstead is the Forest Program Director for The Nature Conservancy in Wyoming, where she leads efforts to understand and restore some of the West's most critical—and often overlooked—ecosystems. From beetle kill and wildfire to drought, Wyoming's forests face a range of challenges that ripple far beyond the state's borders. These high-country forests are the headwaters of several major river basins, providing water to millions of people across the American West. In this conversation, Carli and I dig into the past, present, and future of Western forests—how management philosophies have evolved over the decades, what's threatening their health today, and what can be done to make them more resilient in a changing climate. We talk about her team's groundbreaking work using snowtography—a deceptively simple but powerful way to study how forest structure affects snowpack and water supply—and how those findings could help guide future restoration across the Colorado River Basin. Carli also shares her personal journey from growing up in San Diego to finding her calling in Wyoming's wide-open landscapes, her insights on collaboration and trust-building in conservation, and a few book recommendations that shaped her path. It's a hopeful, science-grounded conversation about water, forests, and how collaboration can shape a more resilient future for the West. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy! --- Carli Kierstead Wyoming forests + TNC Snowtography short film Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/carli-kierstead/ --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Colorado chapter of The Nature Conservancy and TNC chapters throughout the Western United States.

Please help us extend a warm welcome to one of BaT's favorite designers, teachers, sellers, and all-around renaissance men: Raffi Minassian, known in these halls as @raffi. He talks with Alex about his father's "trial by fire" mechanical training program; the roots of his obsession with car design; learning to drive in a 1952 Crosley (with doors!); human- and object-based empathy; a novel way to stay calm in the BaT comments; accidentally becoming a star seller for other people's cars; the odd calmness that 1,200 live BaT auctions can provide; his unorthodox, Pegaso-centric introduction to Art Center College of Design, his future alma mater; his 16 years in die cast design at Franklin Mint; insights into shifts in popular culture; embracing the ridiculous; and the Beetle as a gateway drug.The pair close out talking about Raffi's efforts in nontraditional, hands-on education for young children, his recent foray into TV writing and acting, and his numerous, fascinating upcoming projects.Links for things mentioned in this episode:1:05  Listings and Car Stories Contributed by Raffi 9:18  39k-Mile 1985 Ford Mustang SVO13:47  1-of-52 1967 Ghia 450SS18:58  Car Stories: Raffi's 1953 Pegaso Z-102–The “Thrill” of a Lifetime27:28  Franklin Mint 1970 Datsun 240Z28:35  BaT Limited Edition Hot Rod and BaT Limited Edition 1972 Chevrolet K10 Tow Rig and Trailer Combo31:36  1958 Chris-Craft 26′ Continental Hardtop31:50 Coronado Boats on BaT54:32  It's a Lot TV pilot trailer59:52 1990 Yugo Cabrio 5-SpeedGot suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community or One Year Garage episode?
