My First Car

About My First Car

Hey, I’m Elija Kirby. After spending years playing in garage bands and podcasting, I decided to start a new show where I talk with people about their first car. A podcast all about the vehicle that started it all: the first ride that got us on the road and set the course for the adventures that followed. Each episode, I sit down with friends, fellow musicians, and guests from all walks of life to talk about their first car. From a beat-up hand-me-down to a shiny new dream car, I want to hear the stories, the memories, and the lessons that came with that first set of wheels. That first car is never just a car.... it’s a rite of passage, a symbol of freedom, and usually, a little bit of chaos.

   Against The Rat Race

   Jordan Dittus of Dead Horse Club comes in to share about his ’80s Dodge Caravan. We talk his love for writing, the freedom that comes with recording and creating on your own terms. We chat about promoting art, pressure of the rat race and why chasing fun is a better path. Jordan’s most important piece of advice is to check your oil. Check your oil!

   People and the People with Them

   Jason Kaiser stops by to talk about two lifelong passions, Jeeps and punk rock. His obsession with Jeeps began at the age of 4 after seeing his first one, and it only grew stronger when he got behind the wheel of his first ride a well worn 79 CJ7 that took plenty of abuse. He recollects his early experience with punk rock and his first local shows. Jason talks about his bands Juniper Drive, Refined, and Duck Dodgers. And we reminisce about his legendary house parties where MXPX played. After nearly 20 years away from performing Jason is dusting off the bass and rediscovering his love for punk.
