May 03, 2019 Kerry Hopkins, The Inspiration You’ve Been Looking For
We didn’t really know Kerry before this episode. We knew who she was, we knew what she drove, we knew her friends, but we didn’t really know her. We didn’t know her story or how she got where she was. We didn’t know just how hard she worked to get where she is today. And we certainly didn’t know just how much fun she was going to be! She’s just another shining example of why we love doing this.

April 12, 2019 Dante Morelli Carries On A Legacy
On this episode we talk to Dante Morelli about how he came to form his
collection in honor of our past great friend, Bruce Leven. Dante and Bruce
have been friends, competitors, partners, and collectors for years; they
are staples of the PNW car community. When Bruce passed away, Dante and
many of other Bruce’s friends helped save Bruce’s vast car collection and
bought many of his vehicles. Dante joins us on episode 74 to share some his
favorite stories with the late, great Bruce Leven.

April 05, 2019 Wine and Folly With Madeline Puckette
Loving a good glass of wine and loving cars seems to go hand in hand for
most people. Not at the same time of course, but certainly in interests and
hobbies. On this episode we just happen to have the absolute queen of the
wine world, Madeline Puckette! After this longer episode, it’s so easy to
see how she’s gone so far and risen to the top of her field. Listen in and
find out why she was just awarded the International Wine and Spirit
Competition Communicator Of The Year award!

March 29, 2019 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.

March 22, 2019 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!
