The GigTube Podcast

Toni King (aka Gig Mom) is one of the up-and-coming GigTubers. Like me she's also located in Florida (St. Pete to be exact). She's been posting ride along vlogs for a while and works for a variety of platforms. In this interview, her and I discuss what it's like being a professional gig economist right now.

Tanner Markley is a man of MANY trades! He owns and performs in an extreme sports/stunts/acrobatics show company in Las Vegas (and Reno), AND hosts a podcast about that industry, AND owns his own line of sneakers, AND does DoorDash on the side, AND posts YouTube vlogs about the gig economy. He's one of the most interesting people in this business I've ever interviewed. Check him out on soc...

Pedro Santiago is one of the newest GigTubers specializing in ride along vlogs about DoorDash. He's located in St. Louis, which is a pretty busy and lucrative market. Him and I talked all things DoorDash and the gig life in general.

In this episode of The GigTube podcast, I speak with Stephanie Ramsey aka "Steph On The Pedal". Her channel is devoted to all things gig economy, but especially Instacart. We talk about how she left her day job and started driving Uber and eventually shifted to Instacart, Shipt and other delivery gigs. Steph is also a professional photographer and we discuss that a bit. Check out Steph On...

In this episode of The GigTube Podcast, I talk with Gio of American Gig-Olo fame (formerly "Rideshare Revolution"). He's one of the originators of the GigTube format and has been making videos about the gig economy going back a few years when he was a full time Uber and Lyft driver. He's since expanded to many other gigs including Amazon Flex, Instacart and Task Rabbit. Gio is a ma...

Jonathan Whitney is one of the original gigtubers. His channel is now called "Gig Nation," but it started out in 2018 as "The Rideshare Panel." Jon takes a pretty basic/no-frills approach to his videos, but it's a strategy that pays off as most of his videos garner thousands of views. In fact, his channel has over 5 million total views! At the time of this interview, Jon was li...

Bentley Koup is the man behind "DoorDash Diaries", a YouTube channel dedicated to all things DoorDash. Though he's probably the most famous Dasher on the internet, it's actually a side hustle for him as he runs a Charlotte-based clothing company as his day job. Mr. Koup is rather controversial as he's gotten into beefs with other gigtubers and has made it no secret that he'...

Dave Wright is one of the original "gigtubers". Back in 2018, he made several videos about Uber, Lyft, Instacart, and Amazon Flex that have garnered tens of thousands of views. He was instantly recognizable due to his epic beard and New England accent. Dave retired from YouTube and gig work in 2020 and has since started his own business. Still, the insight he provided in those early videos...

UDM runs one of the most popular gigtube channels of the last few years. He's done pretty much every app at this point. Viewers love him because he tells it like it is and he's extremely likable even when he's being critical. One of the most underrated channels, IMHO.

Dustin Nicol is the man behind "Dustin is Driving:" one of the biggest rideshare channels on YouTube. He started out in Tampa, but moved to Toms River, New Jersey in late 2019. He discusses the difference between warm weather rideshare and cold weather rideshare. As well as how he grew his channel from daily vlogs to MUST SEE "caught on dashcam" style videos. Check out Dustin's...

The was the first-ever episode of The GigTube Podcast (though I didn't have a name for the show at the time). I interviewed Idan Abada of the YouTube channel  @How Much?  (which currently has 128k subscribers!). Idan is originally from Israel, but has lived in both Seattle and Los Angeles the last decade or so. He starting out on YouTube making videos about Bitcoin - showing how much money he...
