About This Podcast

Welcome to Bed Talk — a laid-back podcast where real conversations happen from the back of our Rivian.

Hosted by Mike Kantorski Tech and Meredith, this show dives into the electric vehicle lifestyle, road trip adventures, and what it’s really like owning a Rivian. From spontaneous coffee-fueled chats in the truck bed to deep dives into EV tech, ownership stories, and gear reviews — we’re here to keep it real, informative, and fun.

Expect honest opinions, relatable stories, and the occasional dog interruption as we navigate life on (and off) the road in our electric truck. Whether you’re EV-curious, a proud Rivian owner, or just along for the ride, this podcast is for you.

🎙️ New episodes drop regularly. 📍Recorded in the wild. ☕ Best enjoyed with a warm drink.
