On this episode of The MF Show, we’re joined by announcer, host, and all-around car culture ambassador Jarod DeAnda. Known for his unmistakable energy and presence at motorsport and lifestyle events around the world, Jarod has spent the past two decades bringing fans closer to the action. We dive into his journey from a passionate fan in the stands to building a career behind the mic, and how his style helped shape the way audiences experience drifting and other emerging motorsports. Jarod shares stories from the early days of Formula Drift, the growth of the sport into a global phenomenon, and what it’s like traveling the world to represent car culture at its highest level. Beyond FD, we also talk about his work in rallycross, off-road, and the broader automotive lifestyle, plus his own passion for building cars and staying true to the scene he represents.
