Artwork for Pick Me Up

Pick Me Up is a podcast about Lyft drivers who are chasing big dreams both on and off the road. Each episode, we’ll meet one of them to find out where they’re coming from. And then, we’ll give them a little — pick me up — to help them get to where they’re going. Pick Me Up is a production of Lyft and Gimlet Creative, hosted by Mariah Smith.

  • Dolphins belong with their families too.

    I think it’s absolutely wonderful that you have such a passion to support your daughter in whatever she pursues, my wish however would be that it would be something more humane like dolphin research in the wild, tours in the wild, supporting the ante captivity community, and really learning about these beautiful cetaceans, how important their families are to them as well and how they belong in the wild, free with their families. Just really really disappointed to hear such support for keeping t... more

  • LYFT IS SCAM

    I know for sure LYFT, has “so called” better reputation than UBER.

    But is just as CORRUPT, and SCAMMING GIG EVER.

    They’re just taking advantage of that reputation BUT there both the same.

    They take Advantage of drivers, they rig the code and the more they learn , the more they lobbying and buying and bribing regulators and senators in DC.

    76% of drivers are immigra... more

  • Only presents one side of driving

    Driving for Lyft is NOT easy. I just reached my 2,500th ride. There are certainly some drivers out there with well over 10,000 rides logged. For every 9 customers who can “Pick Me Up” after I pick them up, there will be 1 who will “Bring Me Down” ... way down. It’s not just a matter of needing “thick skin” to drive for Lyft - or perhaps any ride share / hold any customer service position - it’s also a matter of kindness. The rating system will never help driver morale. There is no such thing as ... more
