The second most important thing I do (tied with writing), the Cody’s Car Conundrum podcast was starting back in March, 2016 when I was just 13 years old. Starting a podcast at such a young age means everything’s a learning process, but the podcast grew anyway! Despite being insanely young for a podcaster and certainly for an automotive commentator, people tuned in and listened to a young kid ramble about how Nissan Leafs didn’t have sufficient range, Takata needed to seek some serious help, and however I could work a Dodge Viper into the conversation.
I primarily tackled news but I did talk about a few other topics ranging from recent events like that year’s Denver Autoshow, racing any time I caught an event (which was mostly F1 thanks to a watch group I regularly attended), games, and even interviews with some people in the industry. All of which is still present today, albeit with a slight shift recently to talk about more than just news (like the recent addition of reviewing movies such as Ford v. Ferrari).
Speaking of people being interviewed on the podcast, some of the people I’ve interviewed on the podcast include Mike Bergren of Man Caves (a Colorado detailing company), Ralph Gilles (yeah, Head of Passenger Car Design at FCA Ralph Gilles), and Dana Mecum (creator of the auction bearing his last name).
