The Trailchasers Podcast

This week, we talk to Nathan Riddle from KrawlZone.tv. Nathan tells us about how a crazy idea from his long time friend turned in to a passion project. Now, he is on a mission to bring high quality video to YouTube and the web using his background in animation and film. We talk about how he got to this point, what tools he uses to make his videos, and we try to find out if anyone from the Google Loon Project is listening (because we need some weather balloon powered wifi hotspots!)

I still wanted to release an episode while I am on vacation with my wife and daughter. So, I clipped together a bunch of the segments I did for The Jeep Talk Show. Tony, Josh, and Tammy gave me an opportunity to do a regular segment on the Jeep Talk Show about the Grand Cherokee. It was this opportunity that lead me to do my own podcast. I am forever grateful to Tony, Josh, and Tammy for their support. If you are not listening to the Jeep Talk Show, you should be! Thank you for taking the time to listen to the show, we appreciate it.
