Hello! In this episode of Tran Girlismo, the girls talk about Stellantis... positively???

Hello and welcome to another episode of Tran Girlismo! On this episode, Jordan rounds up the racing season as it comes to its conclusion.

Hello! On this episode of Grim Oil Rants (apologies/thanks to our wonderful friend of the show Nathaniel for stealing this bit from him), the girls just want to have fun, but they can't. Degrowth Don is back at it again, so it's time for an (admittedly more limited than last weeks') analysis of the

The best motorsport events are the ones you know in your heart are only still around because of some vague idea of “tradition” and the continued momentum that comes with holding an annual event. Take the Monaco Grand Prix, for example; if you proposed the idea of that race today you would be laughed

In this episode of Tran Girlismo, the girls correct the trajectory of the past "we're so back" episodes with one that affirms, no, really, "it's so over". Jordan briefly tries to distract Victoria with the good that is IMSA at IMS, and while that was fun, she cannot stop the It's So Over tsunami tha

Hello! On this episode, the girls are joined by their friend Cora Goodwin (who you can find nowadays on Instagram), who basically invented half the car culture the two of them grew up with.

Howdy y'all! Just wanted to send a reminder that today is your last day to order merch at store.trangirlismo.com! After tonight I will be closing the store as I shift to focusing on fulfilling orders, and given my schedule lately I suspect it'll be a while before it's open again. The new stickers ha

Howdy everyone! We did it, we recorded our final thoughts on the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington D.C.

Hi folks! We survived! Just after the Freedom 250, Victoria, Jordan, and their wives all gathered and recorded their thoughts on the race in the immediate aftermath of the race.

Hello! In this episode of Tran Girlismo, Victoria goes Wonk Mode, as it is her natural response to environmental stressors such as wildfire smoke and extreme heat that was gripping the state of Washington last week. First: What's The Deal With The Strategic Petroleum Reserve, amirite folks? No but s

Hi folks! No new episode this week so the girls (and Alex!) could have a week off and take care of some stuff. But, I figured what better time to bring maybe my favorite of our bonus episodes in front of the paywall as a little showcase of what we do for those folks who don't subscribe! This is a mo

Hello! In this episode of Tran Girlismo, the girls dig into the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 promotional tie-in Aston Martin Dreadnought and how much the two of them cannot stand it.

Hello! In this episode of Tran Girlismo, we finally dig into the Slate Truck. We both do not like it.

Hi everyone, Jordan here! I am happy to announce our first ever stretch goal for the podcast!

Hello! In this somehow-we've-recorded-20-episodes twentieth episode, the girls discuss Jordan's immediate EV Struggles on her first road trip in her new-to-her Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV and we immediately digress into the economy of Sandusky, Ohio. First off, Porsche isn't selling us their prettiest car an

Hello! Which movie do you want the girls to review for the next bonus episode?

Looking back on the first trailer for Forza Horizon, it’s tough to put myself back in the shoes of who I was then, both in terms of the linear march of time, and cultural differences in our American misadventure. For example; Obama was still in his first term, Sebastian Vettel was about to win his t

Hello! In preparation for this week's recording of Tran Girlismo, I, Victoria, would like to submit a question to our listeners: Do you like the looks of newly-unveiled Ferrari Luce EV? Jordan and I are split on our opinions, and so I thought it was worth asking our listeners what they thought! This

Hello and a heads up for the start of this episode: We discuss the recent murder of Seattle resident, UW student, and trans woman Juniper Blessing. We recorded this episode the day after her name was announced, and we were both extremely distraught. We discuss the ridiculous cruelty of her death and

TW: This article deals with a violent murder of a trans girl. When I was a kid I always found it kind of strange the way my grandparents used every last thing at their fingertips to absolute death, despite being retired homeowners with comfortable enough pensions to live on. My grandfather would con

Hello! On this episode, Jordan and I divert from our episode plans to discuss The Shirt.

Hello! On this episode we are joined by Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire and Westside Collector Car Storage!

After today, I'm going to temporarily close everything down so I can get all of the shirts made, and then I'll be shipping things

The latest round of centrist-liberal internet discourse—which, thanks to our increasingly-online elected officials and pundits, is simply American political discourse—posits that the United States is actually doing just fine (economically, at least). The argument goes that the average American is ri

Hello! On this episode (which was recorded on Sunday, 4/12), Victoria has a slight mental breakdown (no big deal) about the omnicrisis devouring us all.
