Tired: The Car Podcast For People Who Understand That Cars Are Bad

What's the pod about? Look, cars are terrible. On a macro scale, their impact has been catastrophic, directly killing millions of people, contributing to a climate emergency that will kill millions more, and irrevocably reshaping our physical landscape in ways that have only made us more alienated from and hostile towards one another. On an individual level, their effects are equally ruinous, luring us with their promise of freedom into 84-month notes on blinged-out depreciating assets (if you're like other people), or driveways and garages full of shitbox beaters and doomed projects (if you're like us). Terrible! And yet we love them. They fascinate us. It's enough to make a person… TIRED. Peter Hughes, Rory Carroll, and Matthew Riley attempt to map out the contours of this paradox, with lots of detours along the way. Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tiredpod

Episode 77: The Car Podcast?
After our focused recap of the 6 Hours Of The Glen (bonus content coming soon; Peter's on family vacay) we put in about 3 more hours of recording, and here's an idea: have you wondered what our Patreon episodes sound like? Are you new to the pod? Do you want to give a friend some idea of what your hosts are like? Awesome. How's an hour and 20 of goofing off sound to you? Your producer pal Matty pulled the funniest bits from a couple longer runs and stuck them together for everybody to enjoy. We do talk cars: Rodney Sandstorm at the Craftsman Truck Series, long haul driving joys and perils, how to get a Ferrari sticker in the early 90's, Tesla's latest boondoggle, and a little preview of our eventual ep about that new F1 movie. But also, you'll hear how everyone would approach trying to land a plane (or in Matty's case, solving the essential problem much faster), trivia about a cool vulture, a song from when anti-natalism was just a funny idea for edgy teens, airplane disaster movies, a 90's indie rock tour story, a truly classico-style Let's Introduce The Pod, cat infrastructure mishaps, and how the B-2 sucks. Also brief mentions of the Israeli Occupation Force's bombing of Iran. In case we haven't mentioned lately: Free Palestine. As ever, our Peter Article Reading Music is "sarin gas" by Frugivore: https://frugivore.bandcamp.com/track/sarin-gas Our Wikipedia reading music is once again ol' reliable "Bossa Antigua" by Kevin MacLeod: Bossa Antigua Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
