“Tell me more…” - How the Ride podcast began

I want to launch a podcast, I said, taking a sip of strong coffee.

“Tell me more,” said Jonny.

I think there’s a place for in-depth conversations about how urban mobility is changing, featuring interesting and opinionated people who really know what they’re talking about.

“Tell me more,” said Jonny.

I want to bring together experts in their field, from auto industry executives and start-up leaders, to consultants, researchers, academics, authors, thought leaders, and city planners.

“Tell me m…”

And I want them to discuss specific topics in a way that’s engaging and informative, not just for those in the industry, but also for those people you might call curious civilians.

“Tell m…”

And I want to do it as a podcast.

“Sounds great! I love the idea. D’you fancy working together to make it happen?” asked Jonny.

And just like that, Ride: The Urban Mobility Podcast was born.

Jonny and I both have plenty of public speaking experience, a shared love of the automotive industry, and a vested interest in the business of urban mobility.

One of us runs a tech company in the parking sector and has an extensive background in automaker innovation and finance; the other has over 20 years’ experience in automotive research, journalism, publishing, and consulting.

We’ve developed some great contacts over the years, and we saw a perfect opportunity to pool resources.

But Ride isn’t about us - it’s about the guests. We’ll bring them together, and tee up the discussion, but we’ll give the guests the space they need to “inform, educate and entertain” the Ride podcast listeners.
