Uber Lyft Drivers and Gig-economy news, interviews, insights, stories from the road, and much more !
The Rideshare Rodeo Podcast is a hidden gem in the world of rideshare and gig economy podcasts. As someone who has driven for Uber and Lyft for three years, I have listened to a multitude of rideshare podcasts, but this one has quickly become my new favorite. Hosted by Steve, this podcast covers everything you need to know about the gig economy and provides listeners with valuable news and interviews.
What sets The Rideshare Rodeo Podcast apart from other similar shows is Steve's fantastic hosting skills. He brings a refreshing voice to the industry and delivers information in a concise yet engaging manner. His passion for ridesharing and gig work shines through in every episode, making it easy to stay engaged and interested throughout. Furthermore, Steve's ability to deliver timely news that directly affects drivers is commendable. I always feel up-to-date on the latest happenings in the gig economy after listening to an episode.
In addition to the host's wonderful presentation, the interviews featured on The Rideshare Rodeo Podcast are incredibly informative and eye-opening. Steve brings on guests who provide unique insights into various aspects of the gig economy, allowing listeners to gain a deeper understanding of the industry as a whole. Whether it's an experienced driver sharing tips and tricks or an expert discussing relevant policy changes, each interview adds value to the podcast.
However, one minor downside of The Rideshare Rodeo Podcast is its frequency of episodes. As a devoted listener, I eagerly anticipate each new release, but sometimes find myself wishing there were more than just one episode per week. With such great content being consistently delivered, it would be amazing if there was a second episode released each week to satisfy my craving for more informative discussions.
In conclusion, The Rideshare Rodeo Podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone involved in ridesharing or any other form of gig work. Steve's expertise and passion for the gig economy shines through in every episode, making it an engaging and informative experience. From the top-notch news coverage to the enlightening interviews, this podcast offers everything a rideshare driver or gig worker could ask for. I personally love listening to this podcast while driving and working, and I hope Steve continues creating more valuable content in the future. A++ all around.

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by two incredible guests: Mike Hruby (https://x.com/venturemike1) and Kim Kavin (https://x.com/thekimkavin). Mike is a seasoned advocate for independent work and entrepreneurship, while Kim is a respected journalist and a passionate voice for freelancers' rights. Together, we dive deep into the alarming developments happening right now in New Jersey, where the state Labor Department has proposed a new independent-contractor rule that could drastically restrict the freedom of an estimated 1.7 million people who work as independent contractors, freelancers, self-employed individuals, and gig economy drivers for companies like Uber and DoorDash. This episode unpacks what's really at stake. While the proposed policies are being framed as protections, what the proposed NJDOL rule states is that it will not create any jobs. The fear is that ICs get wiped out and are left with nothing. that would strip people of the flexibility, autonomy, and control that make independent work so vital. Mike and Kim explain how similar policy-making. has played out in other states, and why this movement could have nationwide implications. It's a critical conversation for anyone who values the freedom to choose how and when they work.
