The Custom Scene Podcast is our ” Podcast Spotlight “. Glenn and Ra’Chelle Brown are the host and co-host of this podcast about the scene we all love. Street Trucks was able to do a Q&A with Glenn to learn more.

ST: Tell us about you and your co-host if you have someone on the mic with you?

GB: I have been in the scene for over 35 years. I’ve had multiple mini trucks. I have been to countless truck shows (active and non-active shows currently) across the nation. My wife has been in the scene for 10 years (I drug her into it kicking and screaming) Her credit has still not recouped. But together we enjoy the scene and the people we meet.

GB: Technical difficulties, learning curve, equipment

ST: What were some of the wins you had that you knew it was going to work?

ST: What do you think about the current and future state of the industry?

GB: I love the current state of it now. I would love to see one of the automobile manufacturers bring back an affordable entry level minitruck. I feel that it is warranted and will sell. I feel that companies should offer more aftermarket accessories for older vehicles.
