A one on one interview with the late Hot Rod Pioneer and legend, John Athan. A rare conversation with one of our last remaining early hot rodders, John was an innovator and a hugely important player during the dawn of the hot rod movement in southern California. His build style can be seen in constant use throughout the hot rod world today and his original '29 model A roadster on a '32 frame now resides in the permanent collection at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC.

Episode #1 of The Rodcast ( brought to you by The American Hot Rod Foundation ) has host David Steele sitting down with Hot Rod legend Pete Henderson. Pete not only built one of the most important, surviving, '32 roadsters during WW2, but used it to commute to Burbank to build planes during the war effort as well as ( famously ! ) shut down a previously undefeated quarter horse. Hear those stories and more as we take you through the life and times of Hot Rod Pioneer Pete Henderson.
