Episode 121: Why Am I The Guy On The Roof?

from Tired: The Car Podcast For People Who Understand That Cars Are Bad

Peter and Rory bring a Watkins Glen anecdote, Matty explains why the pod is his only source of income again, and we ask: when the Air Quality Index does that, what exactly are we all supposed to... do? And of course, our usual links to this that & the other: You can sign up for an Alloy membership here: https://alloymag.com/sign-up/ Peter's got new music out this year: https://peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/album/dissociation-loops Your producer pal Matty would like to thank you all for sticking with us during the slow summer updates. We're trying to get back to recording twice a week! Production note, also: usually for music interstitials I've been using Peter's music, but just for on-topic funsies, the short interstitials in this episode include Nothing Painted Blue's "Going to Fontana" and an instrumental selection from Charlie McAlister (RIP) in "Darla Come Down From Jackson" from his classic Mississippi Luau, and also "Raise This Barn" by Wckr Spgt. There's also the other thing but that's in the background. It's fine.
