OM DENNE EPISODE
Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast nationally recognized automotive expert, Mike Caudill. I “met” Mike when I came across his YouTube review of a 2025 Lucid Air Touring. He had me at the title, “Tesla should be TERRIFIED.” The review delivered; check it out here: Tesla should be TERRIFIED
Mike Caudill has spent more than two decades as a journalist and one of the most recognizable voices covering the transportation industry. A nationally recognized television and radio news personality, he has reported on and analyzed the news of the day for outlets across the country, appearing in thousands of media segments ranging from major national networks to local stations. For years he served as one of the lead automotive reporters for the Fox Sports Automotive Team, and he became a regular expert contributor on Fox News Channel, working the floor at all the major auto shows from Los Angeles and Detroit to Chicago and New York. Over the course of his career, he has covered many of the industry's biggest breaking stories, including the Takata airbag recalls, Cash for Clunkers and the automotive bailout.
His reporting has never been confined to four wheels. Mike is considered an expert contributor on all forms of mainstream transportation, covering automotive, motorcycle, marine and recreational vehicles, and his work spans everything from general news to industry politics. As both an on-camera personality and a longtime public relations professional working with nearly every major vehicle brand, he brings an insider's perspective that few in the field can match. In late 2024, Mike channeled that experience into Chasing Horsepower, a consumer-focused multimedia platform and YouTube channel built on honest, unbiased reviews to help buyers make smarter decisions. Inspired by the magazines he grew up reading, like MotorTrend, Car and Driver and Road & Track, the brand pushes vehicles to their limits and goes beyond cars to cover motorcycles, boats and RVs. It joined an already deep body of video work on his longtime channel, @itsmikecaudill, where he has documented auto shows, reviews and behind-the-scenes reporting for years.
Mike is also a sought-after host and emcee on the event circuit, a familiar presence at SEMA and all of the major auto shows where he interviews builders, executives and racing legends. He is based in the Nashville area of Tennessee.
