Woofcast 698 - Because db is Awesome
Todd forgot how to drive an automatic, and we talk about pants. Seems like a pretty normal episode of White Roof Radio, except we also took a detour through 2007. Our studio host was super glitchy the night we recorded, so if we feel off, it's not just you!The big takeaways from this week from MotoringFile:Paddlegate!Part 1 of the Pat InterviewThe Wheels Gabe wouldn't shut up aboutKeep an eye on the feed this week. Gabe has given us permission to include the full interview with Pat Mckenna in the feed! Have you gone over and grabbed the feed for Black Roof Radio? When you open your app, do you see BRR698? If not, you are using the incorrect feed. It would seem I was a spaz and shared the wrong URL a few weeks ago. The correct feed can be found over at Black Roof Radio.
