Episode 93 – The MINI That Never Was, a Show That Was, and a Chat That Was Needed
In Episode 93 of The Cooper Cast Podcast, host Dale Blankenship and trusty sidekick Producer Kodi (who finally gets a speaking part!) dive into what might’ve been the coolest, neatest, most sought-after MINI ever — the one that sadly never made it past the concept stage.
Then, the duo shifts gears to the MINI Domination Car Show in Georgia — a big event with an even bigger question: why don’t we have more MINI-only shows here in the States?
Finally, Dale wraps things up with a few bits of Cooper Cast housekeeping — updates, teasers, and maybe even a hint or two about what’s coming next.
It’s fun, it’s fast, and it’s everything MINI — with a side of Kodi commentary.
Motor safely, and don’t forget to wave!
