As our series is just two episodes away from our 50th release of 2025, we wanted to take a moment to step back from our spotlight interviews to share some fun facts and insights from your NTDC 2025 Podcast co-hosts, Eugene Mulero and Greg Thompson. As you’ll hear, this episode was inspired by Eugene, who wanted to provide our audience with the opportunity to get to know the people behind the microphone asking the majority of the questions you hear in this series.

While Eugene and Greg do touch on a few notes related to NTDC, the majority of this conversation covers their respective journeys in the trucking industry and journalism. The conversation highlights the importance of storytelling and the connections formed within the trucking industry and the NTDC community. Eugene, as he often does for his Transport Topics interviews with State Grand Champions, actually turns the tables on Greg, asking the PodWheels Executive Producer to take the “Mulero Questionnaire.” 

Along with noting his deep appreciation for everyone who is part of the NTDC Community, Greg shares some memories of how he started his radio career some 40 years ago in Minnesota by making calls out of his college dorm room to secure interviews with Allman Brothers co-founder Dickey Betts and Southern Rock legend Charlie Daniels as well as few other musical artists. It’s a fun episode that will allow you to get to know Eugene and Greg a little more.
