The Ferrari F40: Enzo's Last Stand
2024/01/03
This one's from the vault- but updated and re-recorded with new details! The new film "FERRARI" looks at Enzo Ferrari in the middle of his life, when the company he built was only ten years old. But the story of his final days is worth a new look. Enzo Ferrari built his machines to race and win- and they became the world's most renowned sports cars, coveted by the rich and famous. But when he lost full control of his company in 1969, the cars slowly began to lose their competition-bred character.  He decided to do something about it. Near the end of his life, Enzo Ferrari ensured the creation of  the raw, uncompromising, 200 mile per hour F40- and he trusted one man to help him. This is the story of Enzo's last stand.

Ferrari On Film with Robert Nagle
2023/12/20
Over twenty years ago,  director Michael Mann began to think about bringing the story of Enzo Ferrari to the silver screen. It's probably the most anticipated film of 2023- a look into the personal life of  the notoriously private Enzo (played by Adam Driver) and his wife Laura (Penelope Cruz), framed by the backdrop of the 1957 running of the Mille Miglia: the grueling thousand-mile Italian road race When it came to capturing the thrill and brutality of racing on film, there was only one person Mann could trust with the task:  stunt coordinator Robert Nagle. Robert's resume is impressive. He's an Academy Award winner, and the maestro behind car stunts in films like Baby Driver, John Wick, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Gran Turismo, Ford v. Ferrari and more. In this episode, Robert takes us behind-the-scenes of Ferrari and shares his insights on the art of driving fast on film. "Ferrari" clip courtesy NEON Productions (copyright 2023).

Don Nichols: Inside NASA
2023/11/30
There are few men left who could sit down and give you a detailed first-hand account of the entire U.S. Space Program. Don Nichols was a NASA insider who began his  career during the Mercury program (the first manned U.S. space flights) and retired while the Space Shuttle was still the world's dominant form of manned orbital flight. Nichols worked on Cold War era fighter-interceptors, the X-15 rocket plane, the guidance system for the Pershing missile,  and all the way to the mighty Saturn rocket that pushed the Apollo capsules to the moon as if it were the hand of God. Nichols was a player in America's cutting edge aerospace technology for decades. This conversation is a fascinating and detailed breakdown of man's greatest achievement: the conquest of outer space.

The Auction Insider- with David Gooding
2023/11/01
There was a time when you could find a slightly scruffy Ferrari 250 for sale in a tiny ad at the back of your favorite car magazine- at an asking price of a few thousand dollars. Today, those same cars change hands under the bright lights of an auction tent, and the whole car world is watching them command millions of dollars. It's a big business, but it wouldn't exist without the seemingly boundless devotion of buyers eager to own and drive these machines. "What price glory?" they might say. David Gooding is the founder of Gooding & Company. He's been an enthusiast, collector and purveyor of the world's finest automobiles for decades. In this episode, he returns to the show to give an insider's perspective on a year's worth of auctions, highlighting some particular cars and what makes them great- as well as some insights on valuations, buying and selling, and the sometimes unpredictable moves in the market.
