In The Incredibles, as Syndrome is about the vanquish Mr. I, the fan-gone-bad pauses to explain his actions. As he does so, our hero counter-attacks. “You caught me monologuing!” Syndrome chides himself. And it’s true: monologues place their creator in a particularly vulnerable spot. If he or she can’t sustain the listener’s interest, there’s no one– absolutely no one– else to blame. And like the shock and awe-meisters who attacked Iraq, brother, I know what it’s like to bomb. Still, in cyberspace no one sells ice cream. Ba-doom-boom. But seriously folks, I’ll get that damn headset Monday, and resume podcasting with one of our regular cast of characters. And I’ll start phoning newsmakers to get the inside dope on the dopey things going down in Motown, and elsewhere. Meanwhile, an experiment, if you will. If you won’t, I hear you. Er, feel you. Um… understand.

Nicely done, sir! That’s probably the best sounding podcast I’ve ever heard from this site.
Now if only you can get some participation it’d be perfect. Throw a party one weekend?
BTW, on the comment itself: I think you’re preaching to the choir again. Given the stated bailout fatigue comments I keep reading it looks like the B&B won’t disagree and given other sites comments, there’s not that much disagreement overall. You are in the majority position.
Good Job!
Its starting to makes sense to me now.
For too long I just wasn’t listening..or wanting to.
Thanks
yay, bailout!
I’m not a “conservative” so tax and bailout away. I’m probably never going to get a job that pays enough to support myself properly and I’m likely to end up needing medicaid and disability payments shortly.
Same thing needs to be said here, don’t judge American car companies by the distant past. A lot of people are not buying one brand’s car because of something that happened 20-25 years ago.
Don’t you want a choice in cars? If we don’t help manufacturers we’ll end up with one or two brands controlling 99% of the market. If the D3 die off there will be no American car companies until I’m in my 60s (I’m 41 now)
What were you using to record?
Will the TTAC Podcasts ever be on Itunes?
^ It is . . . try searching “The Truth About Cars” in the itunes store.
Thanks. I’ll try and look a little bit harder for the podcasts.
Well Done. That can’t be easy.
Robert,
Did you say podcast? My ears are all a quiver!
THANK YOU.
I thought this was going to be about DW 320:
“By Robert Farago January 2, 2009 -. I’ve given this a lot of thought. And I’ve decided to launch a boycott of General Motors and Chrysler products. …”
I started to read DW 320 Friday night but it’s gone…
Wow. The podcast audio quality is so much better. Robert now sounds taller, and probably has a beard.
I detected hints of scotch and pipe tobacco.
I like when they type in the background and it sounds like they are drawing on a bong!
