RoAb #49 - The 'If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em' Episode

So we're back again--and apologies for any audio weirdness; our new studio set up still needs some work--and we're closing in on landmark episode 50. So, of course, loyal host that he is, Craig Cole has up and left us for some driving fun down South. No worries though, for Miss MotorMouth herself steps up to take a swing at the host's chair.

Our tenuous theme this week is 'If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em' and so we have stories of people and companies making their way in an adverse world. RIM patents billboards that change their content to meet the speed of traffic, meanwhile Switzerland realizes it can't stop public fornication, but they can hide it. Also, some big rigs decide they're going to join the world of jetplanes and spew copious amounts of brightly-colored gas into the air. Plus we've got editions of BLIND SPOT, AUTOGADGET, PSY-CAR-LOGY and way, way more, so stay tuned for this rip-roaring edition of RoundAbout.

RoAb #31 - The ‘Paying Your Dues’ Episode

We’ve all done it, or rather, had to do it – and some of us more than others.  We may have started our careers scouring burnt pudding off of nursing home kitchen equipment; we may have even been forced to serve time in a half-way house for a little run-in with Johnny Law, either way we’ve all had to pay our dues in one capacity or another.  This week on RoundAbout we invite you to pay up or shut up with a lineup of stories ranging from absurd to astounding.  An English woman flips her driver’s training car on her second time out on the road motorway.  One unfortunate man gets socked with a $200 fine for being the victim of a rear-end collision.  And a group of youngsters has to serve some time for an innocent car-to-car paintball fight that turns tragic, sort of.  We also go all Battlestar Galactica in our Blind Spot story of the week, plus we chat about what we’ve been driving In The Garage. 

With RoAb-regular Jeffrey Ross out of action (he’s getting married, finally) we invited muscle-car fanatic and blogger Dave Braddock to take his place.  Also making the rounds is the auto mainstremist himself, Eric Trytko, as well as Miss Motor Mouth, played by Michelle Naranjo.  Autoblog writer Zach Bowman, Producer Ben Sanders and host, Craig Cole are also on hand.
