We're four Street Fight listeners who started a podcast about car culture (and transportation more broadly) through a marxist/anarchist lens. Hope you like it!
Our next episode (coming out Sunday night/Monday morning ) is on nuclear powered vehicles of the cold war

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOO
I love cars and trucks so much pretty much anything with an engine but the communities are always full of chuds
That's part of why we started the podcast, because a lot of car content is made by reactionaries and there's a lot of toxic attitudes in car communities
Have you considered going with "comrades in cars getting coffee"?
We live in 3 different time zones so that might take some coordination. It's sort of a reference to various "Cars and Coffee" car shows held in the wee hours of the morning at coffee shops around the USA. Since I maintain a podcaster schedule of waking up at noon I've never been to one.
This is super fucking cool! @ScreamoBMO or @TransComrade69 -can you feature this?
Invite Doug DeMuro and bully him for shitting om soviet cars
There's soooo many people in online car culture that I'd like to invite on to berate for being shitty in one way or another: Matt Farah for literally being a capitalist, Speedy Cop for being a cop, Freddie Hernandez for running a right wing clickbait site and calling himself товарищ, Cam Vanderhorst for being kinda fash . But we're choosing to be peaceful, plus they'd probably figure it out pretty quick.
I'd love to talk with any of the people involved with Street Fight or Well There's Your Problem, they were major inspirations.
No that makes a lot of sense. We were talking off mic about how in an ideal world, public transit would meet everyone's transportation needs, and owning a private car would be a bit like owning a horse or a motorcycle today: a niche hobby for fun on the weekends, not an essential mode of transportation.
Oooh someone posted this like four or five months ago and I still have it saved and waiting to read.
Following and rating 5 stars. Putting in a vote for a c/cars too. :fidel-salute:
have you considered making a podcast about trains and leftist politics
We're hoping to have an interview with someone who drives trains for a living but his schedule is weird so it might not be right away. Trains are mentioned in the next episode (coming out Sunday night or Monday morning)
If you're a rail fan and want to nerd out on trains we might invite you on as a guest
Yup that was me. If I have my way we'll do more Miata content in the future
Dang. I think I know of two electric miatas in the world. Guess we're up to at least 3. Pretty cool!
It may be a work in progress to be fair. Someone I was working with who was telling me about it a few weeks back.
c/cars
Cars are inherently the most reactionary mode of transport BUT it'd be great to have a place to shitpost about losing my 10mm sockets and GMT 800s with more surface rust than Mars where there weren't also small business tyrants daydreaming about running over protestors in every other post.
apparently fast and furious is about pirate anarchism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbjeyLQCI0c
We considered naming it something like "Permanent Revolutions per Minute" but none of us are Trots
Oooh that would have been a goodn though -- suppose you can keep it aside for an episode name.
