Alex Crawford’s The CArpool Lane with Greer Wylder
12.09.19
Orange County native Alex Crawford just debuted a new podcast called The Carpool Lane and I was honored to be included in an episode. We talked about my thoughts on covering Orange County lifestyle for 30 years, our dreams, running 32 marathons, and why I started Greer’s OC fourteen years ago.
The Carpool Lane is a great listen that focuses on interesting people and niche content - taped on the roads of Southern California in a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis station wagon.
The super talented Crawford is a prolific new media man whose credits include Portland's #1 morning sports talk radio show, and an incredible feature-length documentary called Legend of the Giant Killers. He’s currently in between play-by-play announcing for football and basketball games at local high schools, producing another film and hosting The Carpool Lane. You can subscribe and listen at Apple podcasts here.
