White Roof Radio - The MINI Cooper Podcast

db is rolling out the way back machine in 2026! Let's kick things off with the first episode featuring Mr. Detroit Tuned, Chad Miller!
If you missed it, our first show of the year is in the feed, in which db explains his plan to make sure you guys are getting at least 1 show per month! He says he's back. Y'all should believe him.
Also, I might be sneaking these out to Black Roof Radio subscribers first. Just saying. The link to subscribe can be found there.

Happy New year White Roof! Gabe and I talking about Minis and all kinds of cool stuff this week. Links below, as usual.
I've made a few updates to the site, you should [click over](https://whiteroofradio.com) and check it out. I've also decided White Roof Radio will be returning to monthly episodes. If we can't record, you'll get a best of from our catalog of over 1,000 audio recordings.

As previously discussed during White Roof Radio 702, here is where we started with the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Recorded 20 years ago! Enjoy!

Starting off strong with some throw backs, some soapbox talking OMG did you see the Super Lagera video? And, did you already catch Black Roof? Yea, Woofcast 21 will be in the feed later this week too.
Nice to get to use the news music this week too. Just be sure to keep up with everything happening at MotoringFile.com. And, as we near the crazy season, don't forget any of the friends of the show; MotoringStripes, Detroit Tuned, OutMotoring.com and CravenSpeed.
This week's sponsor is me. Are you L&D or work with Elevenlabs and Powerpoint? Do you need to work with Elevenlabs with Powerpoint? I would like to introduce you to Voxsmith. I've worked really hard on it and will be expecting to ship it in December.

Episode 701 turns our clock, officially, on 20 years. That's pretty cool! Anyway, Odd shaped show this week. So odd, I'm going to recommend that you also listen to Black Roof on this one. I also included the link to the feed, so you can get them in your podcast app, automatically. For FREE!
