  • The Abdala Brothers — 2DIE4
    May 15 2026

    Salomão and André Abdala are the duo behind 2DIE4 — the first Brazilian-produced IMAX film, shot on location at the 24 Hours of Le Mans through the lens of Porsche and driver Felipe Nasr.

    In this episode, recorded at Porsche Centre Oakville in collaboration with the Policaro Group, the brothers talk about growing up in São Paulo obsessed with action sports, landing Honda Brazil as their first client as teenagers, and building a production company with one goal: self-financing their first feature film.

    They break down what it actually took — treating the real Le Mans as a film set, shooting with IMAX-certified cameras with no second takes, mixing the audio in Dolby Atmos to put you in the driver's seat, and betting everything on a story the studios said was too risky.

  • Nhu Nguyen - Speaking Porsche and the Art of Air-Cooled Excellence
    Mar 2 2026

    Bonar and Trevor sit down with Nhu Nguyen...a rare technician who doesn’t just work on Porsches, she speaks Porsche.

    Trained in Canada and now based in sunny California, Nhu works at a small independent shop focused almost entirely on classic, air-cooled cars. Along the way, she earned one of the brand’s most respected credentials: Porsche Classic certification—becoming the first woman ever to achieve it.

    We cover Nhu’s late-career leap into the trades, what it actually takes to become Porsche Classic certified, and why classic work is often about undoing what previous hands have done. Nhu also shares practical buying advice for anyone dreaming of an air-cooled 911, the tools she swears by, and the mindset that separates great technicians from average ones.

    If you love air-cooled lore, craftsmanship, and the reality of keeping old machines alive, this one’s for you.

  • Ten Years In: Trevor Byrne in the Bucket Seat
    Jan 21 2026

    Ten years ago, The Bucket Seat started as an idea — part blog, part unfinished film concept, part excuse to talk about cars with people who care deeply about them.

    In this special episode, the format flips.

    Instead of interviewing a guest, Trevor Byrne takes the Bucket Seat himself. With no preparation and no script, he reflects on where the show began, the people who shaped it, the cars that formed his identity, and what a decade inside the automotive world has taught him.

    The conversation moves through early influences, first cars, industry shifts, and the surprising things that haven’t changed — all leading to a simple but clear idea: this show has always been about connection, curiosity, and community.

    It’s unpolished by design. Honest by accident. And intended as a marker — not a celebration — of ten years spent asking questions worth asking.

    Welcome to a very different episode of The Bucket Seat.
