Episode 5: Obligatory End-of-Year List Content featuring Joel Stocksdale

Produced by Erik Maier

In the last episode of 2024, James talks about his time in the new Nissan Kicks (exciting right!?!) before he and Byron run down their lists of the best, worst, most surprising, most disappointing and just-plain favorite cars of 2024. You want end-of-year list content? We'll give you end-of-year list content! They then welcome former colleague and current Carbuzz writer Joel Stocksdale to talk about the latest car industry news. This includes the passing of automotive industry legend Jean Jennings, former editor-in-chief of Automobile magazine and one cool lady. They each share stories about how Jean impacted their careers (and Byron's fashion decisions). Next they weigh in on the reported Honda-Nissan merger as well as the purchase of Motor Trend by Hearst. James makes a couple jokes about Hearst Castle that don't land. He's sorry (Doubt it! -BH).
