Hey there Tired Pod Free Feed Listener, it's your producer Pal Maddie here at the front,

you know what that means.

We got one on the Patreon for ya.

If you're listening on the free feed and you have not subscribed to our Patreon yet,

I hope you will consider it.

We've got a really fun one this time around.

Episode 107 is an hour long conversation with our returning fan favorite long awaited

guest Victoria Scott from back in episode 25.

We talked to Vicki about all kinds of good stuff straight off of where we left off in

episode 106 about market forces and about how auto-journo has become sort of a psychic

gauntlet of trying to figure out how you market a car to people when enthusiasts have been

totally priced out of not only new cars but a lot of other stuff, which we talk about.

So to hear that, plus the long awaited Peter and Vicki Plains Chat and some other topics

like Colombo, you can come over to patreon.com slash tired pod t-i-r-e-d-p-o-d and subscribe

for five dollars a month.

It's just the one tier, you get this one, you get all the old ones, you get to add to

the pool of money that does funny psychic damage to me and you just get to help out

the show.

But you also help out the show by listening on the free feed just by supporting us in

what we do.

Thank you so much for even just coming over and listening to this little teaser.

I think people probably mostly skip these.

Thanks for hanging out with me for a minute and 43 seconds again.

Hope you're having a good day out there.
