Our Editor's Take

Overcrest: A Pretty Good Podcast has the goal of being more than pretty good especially when it comes to the automotive industry. Hosts Kris and Jake keep listeners informed on trends and changes in the industry. They talk to experts in every facet of cars and transportation. The show also explores the newest car releases and the evolution of vehicle branding. Some episodes examine technical and sometimes complicated ideas, but maintain a casual format. The podcast is always as funny and entertaining as it is informative.

Kris is a journalist and photographer with a passion for old cars. He keeps his garage stocked with various luxury vehicles but prizes his '72 Porsche 911. In the span of 20 years, he's had more than 50 different cars come through his garage. In his Porsche, Kris has toured the country, photographing the trips. He even created a documentary about his excursion in the vehicle. In addition to Overcrest: A Pretty Good Podcast, he has contributed publications like Octane and Road and Track.

Jake is a marketing professional and car fanatic as well. His impressive background in web development has helped the podcast grow. Like Kris, he has a Porsche 911, but he's also repaired a 1987 Porsche 944. With a shared love of high-end cars, Kris and Jake joined forces to create this podcast. Kri'ss journalism background and Jake's tech wisdom make them excellent hosts for the show.

Though the hosts love a Porsche, the show explores many luxury brands. Kris and Jake discuss releases from Mercedes, as well as the growing luxury EV market. They detail motorsports events like Formula 1 and their own Overcrest Rally.

A past guest on the show was author Randall Cannon. Former Porsche Motorsports head Alwin Springer also joins the podcast. Whatever topics arise, listeners hear fun conversations about the car industry. New episodes of Overcrest: A Pretty Good Podcast premiere every Wednesday.
