  • Best gig news show out there!

    I’ve been following this podcast pretty much since episode 1. I don’t know why it took me this long to write a review.

  • Great Source for Independent Contractor Info

    Rideshare Rodeo is one of the best podcasts for updates about what’s happening with independent-contractor policymaking in the states and at the federal level. Steve talks like a real person—not a policy wonk—which makes even the complicated stuff easy to understand.
