Junk Connoisseurs Podcast...Three GRMers talk about cars

Listened to them all and subscribed via RSS. The fake ads for old cars have a lot of potential

Thanks!  We've got some great sponsors.  I mean...they don't pay well, but at least they're entertaining.

now want iRacing to do a lemons series so that a citation II is added to the game. 

This is a very real possibility in Assetto Corsa.  Come join us!

 

Going to download and listen to this podcast later this week.  Posting here so I remember it :)

A Ghetto Corsa...maybe?

I'm curious to learn as to how Carl's Jr came to provide the improved audio equipment :lol: I gave episode #2 (teaser alert: Yugos) a listen last night. 

We won a contest and got to be cabinet members.  It's a long story, but led to one of the strangest sponsorship deals in history...brought to you by Carl's Jr.       (yeah...that's a deep-cut "Idiocracy" reference/joke)

So...we're dorks.  We are all fans of things like "The Simpsons," "Futurama," "Idiocracy," etc.  We know not all of the stupid references will hit home so I plan to at least let folks know (in the show descriptions) that there are references to/from different places.  We can drag everyone into our dorkdom with enough of that, lol.

I listened to episode #1 and it's like GRM Forum - The Podcast. And I mean that in the best possible way.

This makes my day!  We literally aimed to make a podcast that would be appreciated by this crowd here.  I doubt this project will have broad appeal, but if we can keep entertaining ourselves and a few folks here at the GRM forum...we'll call it a success ;)

Listened to both of them this morning, while walking a junkyard. I enjoyed them, so you got added to my rotation. I want to hear about the Quad4, seems right up yalls alley

I can't think of anything cooler than someone listening to "Junk Connoisseurs" while in an actual junkyard.  This is fantastic...thanks!

Listened to EP1 this morning, loved it. I laughed several times, it shows a lot of promise!

Thanks for the encouragement!  I don't know that everyone will laugh as much as we do...but we hope so, lol.

I had a rough day. I listened to episode 1. It made my day better! Keep it up! 

In reply to garaithon :

That is awesome! I'm glad we could help a little. 

150 episode downloads so far! This is going great. 

Episode 3 is going up on Sunday.

I listened in as well, sounds like me and my brother when we get together so I will listen to all you make haha. 

Listened to all of them and really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more. 

Okay, I'm caught up now.  Waiting for the next installment!

In reply to wae:

​​​​​​Your wait will be short as episode 3 goes up TOMORROW!

All caught up. Has really early 10tenths vibes. I love it. 

I've got to spend a couple hours in the car today, I'll give it a listen.

Episode 3 is published! I'm not sure how long it takes to post to the various platforms though. 

Episode 3 has the worst audio quality we've managed to capture so far.  We went ahead and ran with it because we're not at a point yet where we feel like scrapping an entire episode.  Hopefully it's not too unbearable and I can say that if you stick it out with us through the first 4 epsisodes, the audio quality gets significantly better at Episode 5.

That reminds me...I need to go put the finishing touches on episode 5!

In reply to ClemSparks :

I blame psteav's office. 

It was worse sound quality but still enjoyable due to content quality.

In reply to chandler :

Thanks for that!

I will henceforth use the fruit roll up to replace "wet noodle" when referencing deplorable car chassis stiffness.  

What kind of release schedule are yall shooting for?

In reply to Opti :

We are going to try for every other Sunday. 

In reply to psteav (Forum Supporter) :

We used skype calls on our last podcast and it worked well. 

I believe the latest episode (4) is now live wherever you listen to podcasts ;)

And if you don't have a wherever...then here you go:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2100717/11961724

Thanks so much for listening folks!
