Tran Girlismo

by Victoria Scott & Jordan Hoffstetter

A show about car culture and living during the decline of empire from millennials who have never known anything else, with a dash of photography on the side. Hosted by Jordan Hoffstetter and Victoria Scott, a pair of (former!) automotive journalists and (current!) trans women. If you like cars but also hate what mandatory car ownership has done to the landscape of America, this is probably for you!

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I was an automotive media professional for seven years, and Victoria/Jordan know their stuff. They give a perspective on car culture that is rarely represented in the modern media environment, not to mention make it a fun listen. The single best, most important new automotive podcast in many years, without question.

James Gilboy · May 2026

I wanted to be a car designer from the first time I started drawing. Quickly, I realized gays in the car industry just didn’t quite fit (generally speaking). This pairing of two trans, seasoned car writers, and wrenchers is informed, sassy, smart, and such a cool addition to the landscape of car oriented pods. Love it!

magnuswoodsguy · Feb 2026

Joke title aside, I’m glad I’m not the only person who loves and hates cars simultaneously. It’s painful having a passion for cars due to the engineering and artistic aspects of them while seeing the horrible effects they have had on not just nature, but society as a whole. I’m glad that there is now a “the War on Cars” like pod from car enthusiasts with genuine experience on the journalistic and lived side of the car community. Can’t wait for the future episodes.

Moose_Man_ · Feb 2026

I’ve been interested in car stuff for a bit but felt completely confused as to why given everything about car culture was openly hostile to everything I am and I believe. Hearing yall talk about this stuff from a perspective like mine was awesome. Was extremely easy to listen to and will eagerly awaiting future episodes!
