Cool Cars with Chris: The Story Behind the Podcast + What’s Next

It’s almost been one full year of Cool Cars with Chris, and in this solo episode I’m sharing the story behind the podcast, why I started it, and what’s coming next.

My podcasting journey started back in 2019 and eventually led to shows like The Kris and Kristine Show and Podtastic Audio. 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 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
