From Pipelines to Pop Hits: Looking Back at 2015

Rewind to 2015 — a year of politics, scandals, and unforgettable pop culture. The conversation opens with the Keystone XL pipeline debate and a nostalgic laugh at how “boring” politics once seemed compared to today’s intensity. The duo then revisits the Volkswagen emissions scandal and its lasting damage to diesel’s reputation in North America, despite its efficiency and European appeal. Rounding out the trip down memory lane, they celebrate the movies, music, and games that defined the year — from The Martian and Game of Thrones to The Weeknd and Taylor Swift.
