Selling Diecasts. Part 2
November 09, 2020 06:00 - 54 minutes - 18.8 MBLloyd, Ryan and Scott get together to discuss Ryan's recent selling adventures. But Ryan had audio issues (we apoligize) so we yammered on about something else instead.
What Are We Talking About?
August 31, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 25 MBWe are very upfront with how we ramble on about model cars. We prove the point this episode by not even getting around to what was supposed to be the subject of this episode. We have a very full house with Dan, Lloyd, Scott, Camilo, our other new co-host Dak, and we even manage to pull Ryan out of retirement to not talk about what he was on to talk about.
Another One
August 17, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 27.6 MBSurprise! We're still at it. Dan, Scott, Lloyd and new co-host Camilo get together to discuss the usual new models, how COVID has impacted our purchasing, and answer a few questions.
We're Back! But Not Really
July 16, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 30.2 MBWe've reached into the depths of our vault of unpublished podcasts and found this one. Just this one. Dan visited Radwood in LA last year and did some interviews with various persons of interest.

We praise Model Citizen for a bit, and Dan talks about his trip to Cali.

The 1/18th Scale Podcast
October 15, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 22.3 MBIt's just Ryan and Lloyd again for this episode, and so it's all 1/18 all the time. Lloyd has a Norev Mercedes (of course he does), and Ryan has an Ottomobile Volkswagen Golf GTI W-12 650.

Scott the gigolo Juggalo
September 12, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 35.6 MBWe're back from our unintended break. It turns out that the podcast doesn't upload itself. Funny how that works. Anyway, we give Scott advice on how to get an Audi RS6 and discuss our failed attempts at customizing. In addition to our normal brainless chatter, Ryan talks about his GT Spirit ABT Audi RS4, Scott has a Greenlight Bigfoot #5, and Lloyd has the AUTOart Bugatti Chiron.
