Kiki Wolfkill Is Even Cooler Than Her Name

Where do you really even start when trying to sum up someone like Kiki
Wolfkill? She’s the Studio Head for 343, the studio producing arguably the
greatest First Person Shooter of all time, one of the directors of Halo:
Nightfall, a former professional race car driver, and as it turns out a ton
of fun to talk to! Basically she’s one of the most authentically cool
people we’ve ever met and you’re going to love this episode.

Will Diefenbach: Chief Concours Judge, Racer, Sailor, and More!

I don’t think Will was trying to win the title of most interesting man in
the world, but he’s definitely a contender. We like all our guests, it’s
sort of a requirement to be on the show, but even with people we know it’s
amazing how much we learn when we do an interview. Will is a shining
example of why we started Rain City Supercars. From working in tech to
racing, sailing, judging Ferraris, and being an all around awesome guy,
Will definitely has lived a life and has so many great stories. You’re
going to love Episode 71!

Surprise! It’s Bonus Time!

Dan is back and so we did a bonus episode! We discuss driving in Ireland,
the Geneva show, and our Manager/Producer/Little Sister has a special
announcement! Listen in to a fun update and don’t worry, there’s a whole
new episode coming tomorrow as usual!

Dan’s Still Gone And Everyone Is Off Their Meds

This editing nightmare brought to you by what I’m guessing was a lot of
Rainier and maybe some Basil Hayden. It sounds like no one had any fun at
all recording this episode. Enjoy the chaos!

Celebrating Women’s Day The Proper Way With Shay Hoelscher

She races cars, she owns her own company, and she makes things happen!
We’ve been looking forward to interviewing Shay for a really long time for
many good reasons that you’ll hear on this weeks episode. Shay talks about
getting in Porsches, her collection, and her driving experience.

McLaren Bellevue Brand Manager Emily Owen

Buying a supercar isn’t like buying a Honda or a Ford. The expectation for knowledge and service has a MUCH higher bar. Luckily, you have Emily who eats and breathes McLaren. Working in service and now in sales, Emily has the in depth knowledge you want when looking for a car like a McLaren. It’s no secret your hosts are McLaren fans, but we’re not in the same league as Emily. Listen in to Episode 67 as we talk McLarens. Again.

The Many Stories of Dominic Dobson

Our friend Dominic Dobson has one of the most diverse racing careers
around; something you just can’t do today. From Baja to Pikes to the Indy
500, he’s done at all and has some absolutely amazing stories to share. A
racing fan or not, we know you’ll enjoy the stories he shared on this
week’s episode!

SNOWPOCALYPSE!

SNOWPOCALYPSE STRIKES SEATTLE! Actually, that’s not too far off. The city
shutdown for most of us for about a week. We brought back Branden Ben
Powell with Avants Off Road and King County Search and Rescue to give us
some stories and talk about the work S&R has been doing, which isn’t
necessarily what you might think.
