Out of Body Experiences was created to both entertain and inform listeners about the collision repair industry. As Figurelli says in the episode's opening remarks, the main goal of the podcast is to "take a lighthearted look at the news and issues affecting collision repairers today." Co-host Day echoed her sentiments, saying, "We're just trying to have some fun. We're also trying to get the news across to you in a different way, something unlike anything else out there." "This really stems from my Out of Body (and Mechanical) Experiences column in New Jersey Automotive magazine," Greco says. "The column has been one of our most popular over the last two decades so we thought it might be a cool idea to try and replicate the feel of it in a podcast." In this first episode, the hosts discuss a myriad of topics, ranging from artificial intelligence that can calculate 12 estimates in six seconds, to self-driving cars, and the effects they will have on the collision repair industry. Throughout the 20-minute episode the hosts incorporate humor and entertainment, and expertly showcase their extensive knowledge in the field. The relaxed nature of the three allows listeners to connect with their personalities, and understand the dynamic of their relationship, while also gaining insight into some of the top news stories in the collision repair industry. Greco Publishing plans to continue producing Out of Body Experiences on a regular basis. "Right now, we're looking at posting every couple of weeks," says Greco. "If we get the reaction we think we're going to get, it may be more often." The show is also looking for listener feedback. All commentary should be emailed to [email protected].
