Scott Bourne of NetRadio fame and podcast shows like MacBreak Weekly, Apple Phone Show, This Week in Tech, iLife Zone, and This Week in Media, enjoyed our podcast so much that he blogged about it! See what he has to say about Open Road Podcast.

We decided to move forward with MP3 formatted shows versus Enhanced. This will allow us to produce the shows quicker and release them on a more regular schedule. If you think we should not, please post a comment or email us.

We haven't posted a damn thing since late October. Holy shit. We've been making money, buying cars, traveling, scoring with blonde babes, and working our asses off. Mr. Blonde had to deal with a family health emergency that took him over the equator, over the Amazon jungle, and down to the Pampas. Hell, he was within spitting distance of Antarctica. At least he got to drive a few cool European B-cars and eat a lot of prosciutto con melone. And of course, score with the kind of blonde babes you see on all those Spanish soap operas on Univision and KMEX.  
 
We've regrouped and next is the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mr White pimped around for a few days. Also, the ho-hum debuts of the LA Auto Show: can we even muster the energy to talk about any of them? And we'll be recording our comments on the previews we were given of the Detroit Auto Show design properties, such as they are. Of course, we won't break the stated embargoes, just in case any of you PR humps are sniffing around worried about what we'll do to embarrass you again. We will say that one company clearly listened to our podcast of nearly a year ago, as two of its big show cars follow exactly what we suggested, making great use of an existing platform to bring two very exciting sedans to the market. Or so we hope. Christ, those bozos need a winner sometime soon.
 
So hang on and we'll deliver more soon enough.

Mr Blonde here...

Soon we will release Episode 9 which will cover alternative fuels, from Mercedes Blutec to liquid hydrogen BMWs. And for Episode 10, we will discuss the Corvette ZO6 and Bentley Continental test drives.

Stay tuned!

Mr. Blonde again. We were thinking of releasing the show on MP3 along with the Enhanced version. If we do, we can release the episodes much quickly. The benefit of having the Enhanced version is that you can see the photos of the automobiles we are discussing. Please post your comments about this and we can then decide if its worth doing releasing on MP3 or any other formats you want to see.

Hello All,

Mr. Blonde here. Sorry for the delay in getting the episodes out. We have recently upgraded our podcasting gear and have incorporated a new FireWire Mackie Onyx mixer, Samson Expander/Gate Compressor/Limiter, and new Mics. I should have episode 8 and 9 out within the next week or so. Stay tuned...

Please stay tuned as Episode 8 is about to be published.

In episodes 7, 8, and 9, Mr. Black and Mr. White discuss new cars unveiled at Chicago and Geneva, Mercedes' innovative Blutec Diesel technology, take a really boring sojourn through the world of alternative fuels, then discuss what is arguably the greatest racing movie ever, Frankenheimer's Grand Prix.

Today, we launched our new look. Watch the navigation bar as more options and functionality will be coming soon.

We are currently redesigning our website. Stay Tuned! By the way, Episode #007 is just around the corner, nearing the apex...

Episodes #5 and #6, which continue our discussion of the Ford Mediocrity Company, are in final edits right now. We just need to add final photos to the enhanced version. We have set-up a Frappr map so if you want in the gang, stake your place on the map. There is a link to the Frappr map under the Syndication links of our site. If you want to leave comments--for instance, if you think we're completely full of shit and can't keep it to yourself--post your comments or email us at openroadpodcast@gmail.com. Mr. Blonde and Mr. Black will snap back the slides on their kick-ass Sigs and fire right back at you.

The next open road podcast will cover Ford Motor Company, also known as the Ford Mediocrity Company, Ford Meeting Company and the Ford MBA Company. Mr. Black and Mr. White discuss platform and component-set strategies that might produce Ford cars and trucks Americans might actually pay full retail to own. And of course, Mr. Black and Mr White use several Ford execs as whipping boys. Comments on the demise of the Ford Special Vehicle Team, too, and what that says about the stupidity of Ford management.
