My podcasting journey started back in 2019 and eventually led to shows like The Kris and Kristine Show (https://open.spotify.com/show/0OeOYtYunaaOpuYua6BRUl?si=aa04306c539f45c1) and Podtastic Audio (https://podtasticaudio.com/) . But after major life changes in 2025, I decided I didn’t want to keep making a show about how to podcast. I wanted podcasting to be fun again.
That’s where Cool Cars with Chris (https://coolcarswithchris.com/) came from.
Inspired by the memories of owning my Nissan 370Z and the pure enjoyment of driving a fun car, I created a show focused less on spec sheets and more on the real experience of owning and driving cool cars.
In this episode, I talk about:
•
How I got started in podcasting
•
Why I launched Podtastic Audio
•
Why I ended that show in 2025
•
How my Nissan 370Z inspired Cool Cars with Chris
•
Why this car podcast focuses on the emotion of driving
•
The first guests and cars featured on the show
•
Reaching listeners in around 54 countries
•
Why I was releasing two episodes a week
•
Why the show is moving back to weekly episodes
•
Why more video is coming to Cool Cars with Chris
•
How you can get your own cool car featured on the podcast
