Does anything symbolize the promise of the future like flying cars? From Star Wars to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, from The Jetsons to James Bond, flying cars have captured our imagination, but failed to translate into any sort of reality. Will flying cars ever be safe and practical enough to happen? How would they work? Flying cars always seem right around the corner, but can advancements in battery tech and autopilot modes actually get us there? That’s today… or tomorrow… or maybe never… on Past Gas.

Thank you guys! Just 3 months ago i discovered your facebook page, now I just caught up on the entirity of your content by donut media. I feel a sad nostalgia (even though its only been 3 months), the same way you watch the final episode of your favorite series... I wish you guys came out with more content, eben though u have a lot. Maybe try a trial podcast where it's just straight riffing, without a script to follow, where u bring guests in on calls and get more engaged with the fans, sort of like talk radio. Either way I will be following yall for a long time to come. Keep up the great content! Ps. I wasn't even a car guy before watching your show. Now i watched 1000+ hours of car stuff. Props

The symbol of an albatross around your neck isn't 'age old', it's from Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and only entered common usage as an idiom in the 60s. It was derived from an albatross flying alongside your ship being an age old symbol for good luck.

They’re using Shure SM7B’s and James’ recording doesn’t sound like one, safe guess is they were unable to use the mic due to error in the recording setup and had to recover the audio from the video recording via the computer instead, I’m sure it’s because of an interface / rec software issue, Joe is a musician and knows his gear I’m sure they will sort it as soon as they can

I think it would work if we drove and set the destination and time in the cars on board computer like it's Google map or waze. Drive to the designated take off point. Let the car fly itself like a Tesla (once they get autopilot under control) under plane lanes so we don't interfere with planes. Other than that I'm against people flying cars. 90% of Tennessee (where I live anyway) can't drive.
