4.8 out of 5 stars from 23 ratings
  • The best Porsche Enthusiast pod

    Casey, Dave, and Paul are consummate enthusiasts of great cars, mostly Porsches. Before the days of podcasts, my friends and I would meet for a casual dinner and pints and banter, pick on each other, and talk about cars. Shifted Opinions takes that to a great entertainment level, but I promise you will learn something from each of them every time you listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Harper Porsche, Plática & the Evolution of Porsche Culture
Q: Has Platica evolved into a national-level event, and what makes it special?
Shannon describes Platica's evolution from a dealership activity into a standalone, nationally recognized event with strong support from Porsche leadership and top partners, emphasizing its social, artistic, and inclusive nature that showcases air-cooled and modern Porsche across a dramatic venue.
Harper Porsche, Plática & the Evolution of Porsche Culture
Q: How has operating a Porsche store changed in the last decade?
Shannon explains that the biggest inflection points were the 918 Spyder and VIP programs, the Macan expanding the SUV portfolio, and the overall shift toward a broader product mix that funds ambitious projects while Porsche remained true to its aspirational sports-car identity.
Magnus Walker Interview: Urban Outlaw, Porsche Culture, and the Outlaw Collection Auction
Q: What single car or item do you think you'll miss most from the 18 cars in the auction, and why?
It depends on the drive and how I want to experience it; some cars hold personal memories, but ultimately I'm letting go to make space for new directions, while keeping the pieces that matter most to me like art cars and key builds.
Magnus Walker Interview: Urban Outlaw, Porsche Culture, and the Outlaw Collection Auction
Q: From listening to your background, what is the next thing you want to explore creatively beyond Porsche?
I'm exploring collaborations outside the Porsche world, especially interior design and cross-brand projects like BMW or other iconic brands, and I'm open to hot-rod stylistic reinterpretations of cars beyond the Porsche universe that align with my visual language.
10 Minutes Without Porsche Talk? We Didn’t Make It
Q: How do you prepare your car for a multi-day rally?
Make sure you have essential tools, check tire pressures, and ensure the car is in good condition.
