Popoff Podcasts was established in 2007 as part Champodcast and our production of the podcast. Popoff Podcasts is operated by Jason and Jeff, long time friends. Popoff Podcasts is expanding from the production of Champodcast to other projects that we are working on. The name Popoff Podcasts was inspired by the Popoff Valve found on a turbo charged Champcar or Indy Car.
