Sketchbook Audio

Me and the crew went to the Detroit Autoshow this week (twice) and if there is one major takeaway to mention, its that CES is a far better autoshow than NAIAS. If you followed us on our livestreams via instagram (Sketchbook_Audio) you likely saw, well, everything. And in the 30 minutes it took for me to walk through the entire thing, there wasnt much to see. But, my crew and I found some interesting vehicles and we have some hot takes on what we did see and do. P.s. I set this episode to 18+ because, well, some of us dont have a filter. So, to protect your little ones, just be mindful that we dropped a few curse words and ONE F bomb. Because PG13.

Hello and welcome fellow sketch-bookers. Ryan Sketch here and if you feel like things are looking a little different around here...they are. Anchor.fm, now part of Spotify, has partnered with Riverside to provide our media recording and publishing. I am still learning the ins and outs of it so each week should get a little better. Oddly enough, it uses AI in a way that I am actually OK with and that is to help identify "segments" or topic changes within the video. Pretty cool! It also creates a very accurate transcript for each individual person. Which I guess would help if you are deaf. Anywho, this weeks episode was pretty fun to record. Even behind the scenes we were laughing hysterically and just having a good time deciding which topics to discuss. If you are new to SBA, we discuss basically anything that was designed. Videogames, movies, cars, toys, tech etc. We will try to add more variety with each new episode so, stay tuned! This week, we discuss the following: - 2025 Detroit Auto Show aka

You may have noticed that there are now three people working on this show, and I couldnt be happier about it! James and Nikki will bring their fun car-related stories and passions to the mix, and also offer up fresh opinions and ideas. So, no more listening to just me blabbing about cars and design! That said, we are going to dive deep into a few fun topics for this weeks episode including but not limited to, Charger/Magnum hybrids (James), new Wrangler Willys 4xe special military-themed edition (Ryan), The impending doom for Motortrend and Roadkill (Nikki) and so much more!

There is some very interesting news going around about the Biden Administration potentially reversing or slowing its push for Evie's here in the United States which could have implications the world over. But what does that mean for the automotive market and buyer? Well basically, right now would be the best time to get an EV because dealerships are flooded with stock that nobody wants. Did you know that the KIA Carnival is not really just a minivan? Did you know that it also used to have a totally different name? And did you know that it's actually pretty cool? Last but not least, the Mini Countryman isn't so "mini" anymore but does that mean it doesn't belong in the Mini family anymore? Personally, I think it is a fantastic option for those looking for a compact crossover, but it does stick out like a sore thumb amongst all of the other Mini Cooper vehicles. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sketchbookaudio/message

Well folks, I am back! Its been awhile and I had to do some soul searching, but here I am! Back and better than ever! (Maybe haha). Big shout out to my fans for keeping me going! You all asked for more, so here we go! This is a bit of a Christmas present to you all and me as I was offered the chance to review a really nice dashcam from a brand called Pelsee. The cam is called the P2 Trio, and it features 3 cameras, 5ghz connection, 4k recording (audio and video), voice commands, a GPS (for speed) and a slew of other very nice features. Check out this video to see my full reaction and impressions on the unit. Heres the link to it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Pelsee-Channel-DashCam-Control-Parking/dp/B0CKR1GMD8 Oh, and I have some new video editing software so its taking me a minute to learn the ins and outs of it. Expect some higher quality videos in the future! And, if you liked this product review, I will try and get some more. Tech is definitely something I am passionate about and it fits in with

The 2022 Outlander is finally out of the proverbial box (thanks to Amazon Live) and we get our first full look at the inside and outside of the family-friendly crossover.  Why is this a big thing for MItsu? What does it share with Nissan? How much will it cost? These are the questions I will get you the answers too and more! OK, Movie time people! A switch and change of pace from cars for a moment because for awhile, most people in the world have not had the ability to go to movie theaters to catch the latest releases. Even now that most states and countries are allowing theaters to be open, people aren't flocking to them like the good ol' days. So how are we to catch the latest releases?  HBOMax and Disney+ are two options, so lets take a look at what's coming out in the very near future! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sketchbookaudio/message

President Joe Biden is looking to replace the entire fleet of storm troopers, I mean federal vehicles, with Electric ones built right here in the US! Which vehicles do you think he will choose? A fleet of ridiculously expensive Teslas? Maybe an army of Chevy Bolts...cute little things.  Speaking of Tesla, the Model S and Model X FINALLY got refreshed and they look pretty good! Love that Yoke steering wheel. A bunch of new cars were recently revealed including the refreshed mini 2 door and 4 door hardtop and convertible lineup; Hyundai showed off a Tuscon N-Line for Europe (forbidden fruit) and Nissan is poised to show off 2 new vehicles (likely the Pathfinder and Frontier)  But ya gotta give a listen to get all the details!

This is going to be a fun episode for everyone, I think.  Ive enlisted the help of a good friend of mine, Anthony, to join the show and share his opinions about upcoming movies for 2021, and what the pandemic has done to the movie industry.  Covid be DAMNED but 2021 might be a beacon of hope for many.  Lastly, because I always talk about cars, Anthony and I will argue about which Batmobile was the best Batmobile, ever.   P.s. When both of us are in the same room, our filter's go out the door (but we kept our facemasks on!) and therefore, this episode is listed as explicit. Sorry Kiddos, but maybe ask your parents to listen to this one!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sketchbookaudio/message
