New Tesla Podcast: Introducing RIDE THE LIGHTNING!

[DaveT]

Hey Ryan, great idea. I look forward to checking out one of your episodes. The idea seems a bit similar to a weekly Tesla newsletter that I've been editing for about a year. Hit me up in a PM and I'll include your podcast info in my next newsletter.

Another brilliant episode. Thanks for posting!

Looks like plenty of you have been giving the show a listen. Thank you!!

Good job Ryan, congrats.

On a side note, CarTalk is still No. 1 automotive podcast, although they stopped broadcasting new episodes since 3 yrs ago (IIRC). Sadly, Tom Magliozzi (one of the Click and Clack brothers) passed away a few months back. I admit I still listen to CarTalk, and I still find it amusing, albeit a bit outdated.

Great job on the latest episode. Looking forward to the next one.

Hey just wanted to say I'm enjoying the podcast, AND I'm also a former DeLorean owner (VIN 3472). Your first episode helped me realize why I too seem to have become obsessed with Tesla coming from DeLorean. Awesome to hear someone else with the same story.

Here's episode 3! Talking media FUD, Model X wheel sizes, and more!

There has to be trademark issues with Ride The Lighting. Ever heard of Metallica?

Did you actually listen to the podcast intro? Ever heard of "fair use"?

Ryan, Pretty much hit it outta the park. Yeah Co-Host might be extremely helpful. Doing a meritorious job on your own but I think of Elon......... He builds a team of BELIEVERS....... and crashes through success....... like he didn't even know it was there!

Took me a while, but I'm caught up now. I've been waiting for someone to do a Tesla podcast; rich content right now, and Ryan, yours is exactly what I was hoping for. This sounds like an insult, but it's really not, you have a good voice for podcasting....

In terms of feedback, Diarmuid is pronounced Darre-mutt, or something like that. There's multiple ways to spell it it seems, I knew loads of them when I was in Ireland.

It may have been discussed above (and them mod'd out?), but I find the bumpers/intro/outro's a bit abrasive for this type of Podcast; just not a good fit? I wish I had the skills to make something different, but I'm not the right person for that. I'm not really a Metallica fan, but that's not why, I just think for something like this you need something a bit 'slicker'.

Regardless though, great job; I have a relatively short commute this days, but this is at the top of my Podcast listening list.

Thanks to Adrien, Pete, and everyone else since I last posted in this thread for your feedback. I've received a lot of wonderful and supportive emails from folks as well. I'm honestly stunned at the response. I thought 3 people would listen to this thing, but it's been holding steady as the #5 iTunes podcast in the Automotive category pretty much since it launched!

I've got plenty more I want to do with the podcast that you'll start to see over the coming weeks. I continue to feel encouraged and energized to do the show, so again I greatly appreciate everyone giving it a try!

Great show. I wish a moderator would move this topic to a more appropriate section where more people can see it. This is not off topic. I believe the closest forum section would be videos. At least that section is about Tesla related content. We don't put those topics in off topic section either.

Thanks for saying what I've been thinking, Robert.

Here's episode 4, discussing the Model X sightings in new colors, Aston Martin's dig at Tesla, and Forbes' fantastic feature on the company where they name Tesla the most innovative company in the world.

I hope you enjoy it!
