Interesting podcast. I hadn't seen it before, but it has the potential to replace the 1/24 podcast "Between the Lanes" that ended four or five years ago.

Bill,
This video was just released less than a day ago.

After viewing on Slotblog, I went back on YouTube to find it to see if there were any other podcasts. They have good plans, if carried forth, it'll be a good source of 1/32 information. I'm hoping they concentrate on analog racing.

There is this, Track Calls, by Marco from Electric Dreams.
There appears to be at least 69 broadcasts.
I was only made aware of it because a local racer brought it up, citing my old boss, Stuart Koford was the guest, and that my name was briefly mentioned.

Electric Dreams has good production value due to Marco's experience in the film industry 
For example, they put on a good show, and the racers who participated in the events became rock stars.
Ian is the poster boy.
He was already a good racer under Herman's guidance, and the ED events have been a showcase of how good he is

Marco stopped by my raceway five or six years ago, IIRC, on the way to attend the Indy 500.
A super-personable guy.

Ian and Todd have just released their third TSP podcast and hoping they will continue with the series, I am going to create a subforum here for them. Now to figure out where to place it...
