Podcasts about white roof radio

19 years of White Roof Radio, 20 years of Detroit Tuned, 22 years of Motoringfile. That, plus a ton more stuff, including Gabe's thoughts from MTTS and the latest from Motoringfile.com!

Comments are open! After a 2 week delay that was 100% my fault, I am proud to deliver the latest episode of White Roof Radio. Getting started with news and MINIUSA on again off again manual transmission status is finally updated, for reals, to no longer offering a manual transmission on any of the models. Of course, details on getting one can be found at MotoringFileGabe also just wrapped up his stint with the worse named MINI in the history of MINI; The Untamed Edition. The short version you hear, for the full review, including video, can also be found at MF. By the way, Untamed is worse than Untold, don't listen to two weeks ago db, he was wrong. Moving on, we all agree that the R53 is the G.O.A.T. Chad does school us on some gotchas that can come along with owning an old MINI. Gabe is looking really hard at getting an R53, but that could change. What do you think he should get? Special thanks to the extra technical info provided by Chad! Are you looking for the sunroof drain fix? Detroit Tuned has your covered! From the archives, when we talked to Randy Webb during Woofcast 9 when Todd learned what adiabatic expansion was. By following that link, you will find that episode 9 has been restored! And, as mentioned, you really can't beat watching James May reassemble anything, especially a Honda Monkey.

Big show for you this week! Lots about electric MINIs, but first, let's begin by providing our thoughts about  , and we might not have had anything nice to say about it. It's almost time to remind you about the awesome that was . Then we get right into the electric MINI stuff, starting with Gabe's latest . For those of you that are looking for our pre-show, you can find that, 100% free of charge, at . While you are there, if you would like to support the show, awesome! If not, that is totally ok too!

We woke up and realized that it's been quite a while since we last made a show. So, let's get right to it since I'm also terribly late getting this one posted! Kicking things off, a quick reminder is that there is a new episode of available to download. Once we get started, the title of the show pretty much describes what we were seeing at Motoringfile when we recorded. Needless to say, we are talking a lot about electric MINIs this episode. And nerd website stuff. And, Go Motoring (#IYKYK). This is to serve as your reminder that is your best source for MINI news. Gabe is the only one out there, really, that has the inside track. Trust me. Add in the MINI boobs and some chatGPT and we have ourselves a show! Finally, don't forget the OG sponsors of White Roof Radio and Motoringfile: , , and .

Everyone agrees that pre-produced, lifted-from-radio ads suck on podcasts, and that host-read ads are the clear winner. But is that true for every podcast? More importantly, is it true for your podcast?  https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/host-read-podcast-ads-arent-always-the-right-answer I think we put too much emphasis on the idea that host-read ads are the be-all end-all for podcasting.  Not that I have any doubts about the https://soundsprofitable.com/update/good-data-back-to-basics (myriad case studies and the reports) that provide ample evidence to the fac that yes, podcasting's host-read ads beat the pants off of just about every other form of audio advertising. The reason host-read ads work really, really well is not because the host of the show is reading out the ad. Yes, I know that sounds weird.  But it's not the host reading that does it. It's the audience trusting the recommendations of the host.  A host-read ad is—and I know I'm oversimplifying, but not much—a recommendation. A powerful one, but that power only extends so far. It's delineated, more or less, by the domain of the topics and issues discussed on the podcast.  I'd be heavily influenced by a car recommendation from the host of a car podcast. But life insurance? Nope. I'd listen to a birder podcaster tell me what binocular to buy. But their opinion on patio furniture is less important.  And don't forget the myriad fiction, news, or straight-up educational podcasts where there isn't a strong and central host. In all of those cases, there's not even an option for a true host-read ad.  Keep that in mind and look closely at the type of show you're producing before you assume that ad types other than host-read aren't applicable. They might be. And they might work even better. ----- Sponsored by: https://evoterra.link/captivate (Captivate.fm, the world's only growth-oriented podcast hosting company) ----- Links ----- https://soundsprofitable.com/update/good-data-back-to-basics (Podcast advertising case studies) https://twitter.com/Clew_less/ (Andrew Clews)  https://twitter.com/dbwilldo (Don Burnside) https://www.motoringpodcast.com/ (Motoring Podcast) https://www.whiteroofradio.com/ (White Roof Radio) https://twitter.com/Suzy_Bee (Suzy Buttress)  https://casualbirder.com/ (The Casual Birder Podcast) Got a podcasting service? https://podcastpontifications.com/about/sponsorship-information (Become a sponsor of Podcast Pontifications).

Let's start by talking about Bridger's DQ at Thermal. I was there and can verify what the line judge saw. That is not to say that he did not have the quickest run of the day, because he did. Then lets remember The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, as we originally discussed during (yes, it's there). If you are new here, this is a great insight into the history of White Roof Radio. Since the last time we met, it was just Gabe and I at (now with updated audio, as promised!), we spent some time disucssing the cars we drove in more detail. Man, that M5CS was truly an amazing automobile! We also get some time to really talk about the updated MINI Cooper, which I thought was amazing! As mentioned above, the audio for Woofcast 676 has been updated, if you had a hard time listening. Winter tire show is forthcoming and, really, get back in the habit of listening until the end and make sure you are following on Twitter.

Y'all came this close (db pinches fingers) to getting an actual gin show this week. Instead, Gabe was able to join us so we talked about MINI stuff instead! Since Gabe joined us, we allowed him to wax poetic about his 2020 JCW Clubman (spoiler alert: he loves it) and we answer listener email! Oh, and you guys already watched the Goodwood Mini Race already, right? Spoil yourself, put it on the TV. Trust us. And, one more reminder about the survey.

Wait, db is podcasting? What about WRR?

In this, the show formally known as Woofcast 66six, we meet up on Zoom since that seems to be the cool thing to do. As mentioned, please excuse any quality and delays. And, to go a bit in reverse, please don't forget any of the fine sponsors under the White Roof Radio that have been supporting us and all of our habits since 2006! Now that we have paid the bills, here are a few of the things we talk about. Todd's new basement bar. Check the cover photo! Crazy drivers in and The Amazing move A Taking a classic Thanks for joining us gang. Stay safe and wash your hands!

First things first; We were serious about a Vegas meetup! Here are the details: White Roof Radio Vegas Meetup (aka AMVIV rememberance Tour 2020) March 27 - 29 Palace Station, Las Vegas, NV There is a and I will be updating that as more details are available. Sales, GP3, SUVs, Car Play, coffee, donuts and more. What else would you expect from our first show back for 2020? We've been away for a bit, so we had a lot to catch up. Oh, and we go a little long, as you would expect. If you have some holiday money burning a hole in your pocket, a good use of those funds would be cool MINI stuff from and . for service if you are 7.5 hours away. Now offering custom tunes too! for your #mtts2020 badges and door magnets! And, we need your help! Make 2020 the year that you share White Roof Radio with anyone! We are @whiteroofradio everywhere, so share away! Finally, wouldn't it be cool if White Roof Radio was listener supported? . If we had 300 listeners supporting us, we would be able to go 100% listener supported. Let's do this!

The Thirty Year Gap We finally manage to get Gabe on again while he was at an event at the BMW Plant in South Carolina (you have probably ). Since we have him, we talk new GP, , including vs. the previous generation GPs vs. JCWs in General. Think of this as a JCW Show. Don't forget #mtts2020 coming Click the link for the dates and mark those calendars! Speaking of calendar marking, in case you didn't hear, the boys and I have decided that it's been far too long since we hung out with you, the fine and good looking White Roof Radio listener, and have also decided to change that. So, on your way to marking the dates for #mtts2020, stop at March 27th - 29th and put that as the WRR Meetup in Las Vegas! Todd, Chad, Brian and I will be hanging out at Palace Station for that weekend and would love to see a bunch of MINIs on the top parking deck and just hang out. We don't have anything planned yet and won't be organizing any group drives, but we will all be there and hope that you will be too!

Todd Throws a Code For the first time even, Todd threw a code in his JCW. We all grow mullets and dream about El Camino's. Sounds like a normal episode of White Roof Radio to me! Of course we pick a few stories from to discuss, along with a few other things. Cool stuff from our sponsors; and (including the ever!) Meetups? Palm Springs in October? Las Vegas in 2020? Who's in? Let us know by downloading the and get into the chat. Once you get it installed on your mobile device, use the code whiteroofradio (all one word) to get in!  

It has been a while since we have made a show, and we haven't made many shows so far for 2019. Listen in; stuff has been going on which has been keeping us from making a show. Todd is going to get a GP, Gabe hates 4 spoke wheels and Chad Likes ham and I have finally figured out how to drive an automatic. I know I said back in , it has taken me this long to figure it out. We discuss the upcoming GP, the new Electric MINI, the current MotoringFile company car, sales and more. Just 4 dudes talking about MINI Cooper stuff, like we like to do. Please remember the fine sponsors under the White Roof! , , and . Todd even has a special discount code for the rest of summer for you guys!  

Fred Called Us out Catching up! I understand it's been a while, but weather in Arizona has sucked and I bought a freaking house! Apologies for the delay, but I do promise we will be getting back to it! Links: The most ridiculous comments opposing bike lanes Don't Confront Motorists Snooty Peloton Images A quick pass through the Strava Club and beer as you expect, plus a minor detour into a bottle of wine; a 1979 Opus One. It was amazing and I acquired it upon the passing of my grandparents. You can read more about that on my blog. And do not forget about White Roof Radio. If you like a good car show, I think this one is pretty amazing. If you like MINI Coopers, you get a double bonus because it's all we really talk about it. And, that show makes this one happen, so thanks to them! I have made some changes to the site. Nothing earth shattering, but when you see it, it's not just you. Comments are open BTW!  

Random Logan's Run references notwithstanding, we do talk about MINI stuff for this, our first episode of 2019. Welcome to our 15th year of podcasting excellence! We did discuss a few things or I said I would link a few things, so here they are. If you belong to the club, you have homework. Get logged in and get to it! If you aren't a member of that club, here's the deal; If you want to help support White Roof Radio, this is your way to do that. It's slow going, but we are working toward being completely listener supported (which would be no more ads!). If you think that sounds cool, help us out and in doing so, you get 2 extra episodes every month! UPDATE - If you already downloaded this, it has been removed from your device. You can skip ahead to about the 39 minute mark to pick up where the previous version quit. Sorry for the trouble.

Ride Bikes Radio 48 - I Am Becoming Old People First show of 2019 and we are talking about folding bicycles, a kick ass LBS experience, the Specialized recall and electric bikes. Besides all of that, a few listener shout-outs and we are looking for some specific feedback to start the new year. Specialized Recall - Look for the post for January 9th and it is affecting a few different models. The Strava Club Rad Stop Ride Shop Facebook page. This shop is legit! I know I said Rad Power Bikes repeatedly, but I was wrong. It is Rad Stop Ride Shop! Electric Bike Lawshttp://peopleforbikes.org/our-work/e-bikes/policies-and-laws/) Richard Wezensky provided this weeks show art! Ok, so, how did you find out about Ride Bikes Radio? Did you come from White Roof Radio or find us another way? And, with Episode 50 coming up soon, what do you guys think about a live show? Either Facebook Live or something else like that? Comments are open below, time to sound off!  

Woofcast 645: Todd was Wrong That's right, 13 years ago White Roof Radio started as just 2 guys talking about MINI Coopers. Many of you were there when we started, and we really appreciate you sticking with us! For this week, Todd talks cracked windscreen, I talk cracked fuel filter housing plus we were impressed with the turn out of #mtts2018. Looks like you all had a great time and we are bummed that we missed it! Hoping to get with Gabe as soon as possible so he can tell us all about the new company; the JCW Countryman. Chad as well for the latest updates from . And I'm also bugging the crap out of Brian to get him back because I think some of you would like to hear from a newly minted Subaru owner. Thanks for sticking around as we enter our 14th year of podcasting under the White Roof! Thank as well to our fine and good looking sponsors and who have been with us almost from the beginning. Make sure to show them some love! And, of course, everything is made so much easier by those of you that are in the club. Thank you all for your continued support!  

Starting off with a reminder: Do as we do, not as Gabe says. And, watch some brake check videos if you are looking for some entertainment. Going old school this week. Just Gabe, Todd and I and of course we start talking about the weather, winter tires and Gabe fawning over the MF Clubman. Otherwise, we talk LCI updates, sales and events coming up this year. - #mtts2018 route details released - This year's West Coast event, happening in San Diego Don't be the guy that doesn't know where to get #mtts2018 graphics. Todd already has you covered over at . Get them now and tell your friends! Then, post a photo and be sure to tag @whiteroofradio and @toddsmods! If I can be honest, I would like nothing more than to make this my full time job. Not just White Roof Radio, but to really grow into a decent podcast network talking about cars, bicycles and a few other things I have up my sleeve. Every bit of support you can continue to provide would be amazing. You can join the club, you can continue to help spread the word about us (don't forget ) and leaving good reviews and comments on our iTunes page. Every little bit helps and I appreciate it more than you can possibly know. Stay tuned for more goodness under the White Roof. Along with Fireball Tim, The Hollywood Car show will be making it's triumphant return early February. Stay tuned!  

Todd, Chad and Gabe tonight. Sure, I'm there too, but here's the thing. Had some technical issues while recording last week where my side did actually get recorded. You probably won't notice too much, but then again, you might. Call it the Mad Libs edition of White Roof Radio. Apologies in advance. It's Christmas time (or your holiday of choice), and you want to make sure to get something cool for that MINI enthusiast in your life! Don't forget the fine sponsors under the White Roof: , , and .  

What started as a short show to catch up with Brian about his trip to Germany for a special event held for MINI and BMW Genius', turned into another rousing edition of White Roof Radio! Todd admits that the JCW Clubman isn't as bad as he initially thought, at least on the track, Brian does let us know everything (he could) that he learned from his trip to Munich, and Gabe gets really riled up about Apple Car Play and his un-realistic expectations of it. Todd is off to SEMA next week. If you are in Vegas, there is cool stuff happening just outside sponsored by MINI and BMW that you should check out. If you are going to SEMA, be sure to look for Todd!

Here we are, back again talking about weather, politics and MINIs. And Apple Stuff (especially on ). And Roadsters. And JCW Clubman. And Hootie and the Blowfish.

This link will give you some cool time wasting to be sure. Plus we also take a look at possible on the F56, but we are skeptical. Finally, the lays down some knowledge about MINI values and part prices, plus we pick the MINI we would buy with a limited budget.

As an added bonus, we get to hear what the next MotoringFile Company Car is going to be.

New for 2017, we will be sharing black roof radio whenever possible.

Chad tells us about the hot thing happening last week in Detroit; . Rumor has it there was even many El Camino's spotted.

On this day in 2005, after a couple of weeks of testing, setting up the website, getting art work ready and trying to figure out how to record a show, Todd and I posted the very first episode of White Roof Radio under the white roof! It's been a long and awesome ride and there is no way, NO WAY, that we could have done this without you guys, the White Roof Radio Army! Thanks for listening, sharing, saying hi at events and all the things. Also no way I could have gone this long without Todd, Gabe, Michael Babishkin, Nathaniel Saltzman, Chad Miller or Alex Sitbon. No way. We've come along way and hopefully still have a long way to go.  Happy Birthday White Roof Radio!!!!!
