For those of you that missed it over at MotoringFile, it’s official! MINI United is on for May 11-13, 2012! Click over for the full press release and details that we have right now.

We’ve mentioned this on the show already, but 2012 is shaping up to be a pretty busy year in the MINI Community, and White Roof Radio is going to be there every step of the way! You will be seeing us at Dealer Grand Openings, The Dragon, AMVIV 9 and, with any luck, MINI United. Finally, MTTS has been confirmed for next summer and you know we’ll be all over that, right?

Who’s excited?

White Roof Radio LIVE

Posted in Updates,WRR Live — by db on 10/04/11

It’s been far too long since we all got together. Wait a tic, adding Nathaniel to the mix means we never have. That means a party is definitely in order!

Join us Saturday, October 22nd, 2011 at Detroit Tuned for White Roof Radio Live! Gabe, Todd, db, Chad, and Nathaniel will be gathering to record Woofcast 400 and wanted to invite you along for the show. There will be food, drink and some sweet MINIs including the MF Countryman and Gabe’s new BMW. Plus, there are rumors of a Coupe or two — one of them getting some killer stripes from Todd!

Not enough for you? How about a caravan to Detroit Tuned from Chicago on Saturday, with a possible stop at Bell’s Brewery? Done and done.

It’s not often that we get a chance to get together, but it’s always a fantastic party when it does. Those of you that have been to AMVIV, MTTS or MINI United know what we mean.

Full details, including a great deal on a hotel room that is walking distance from Detroit Tuned can be found here. We also have an event page on Facebook and think it would be keen if you could RSVP if you plan on going, or not.

We can’t wait! Can you?

Listen to White Roof Radio

Posted in Listener Stuff,Notes - db,Updates — by db on 07/08/11

For you MINI Connected users, we are still working on a way to stream the show just for you. Your patience is greatly appreciated! Until that happens, we have been expanding the ways you can get The World Famous White Roof Radio!

As part of getting into MINI Connected, you can find us on Tune-in Radio. There are versions for just about every mobile device you can imagine and it updates almost as quickly as iTunes. As of today, you can also find us on Stitcher. Available for Android, iOS and Blackberry.

Both of these are free apps and provide a great way to get podcasts without having to use iTunes! Of course we are still working toward streaming the show and currently do not have a hard date we can provide at this time. For now, either of these apps should serve you well.

White Roof Radio Update

Posted in Updates — by db on 09/28/10

Roxy vs. The Countryman

It would seem that we have forgotten to do a show. Actually, not so much. You see, I have been busy relocating WRR HQ West to Arizona (and rolling over 240,000 miles on my MINI) and Todd has had a few things come up of a personal nature that have also required his direct and immediate attention.

Not to fear dear listeners! Todd is heading to Mickey & MINI 6 this week and we’ll be doing a show, plus getting some great interviews from Todd as he hangs out with Florida MINI enthusiasts!

Coming up in future shows you can look forward to quite a bit of scooter talk, more on the R60 and more on the latest news from MotoringFile.com, like we like to do.

In the meantime, might I recommend Woofcast 307? It was recorded September last year with lots of talk about the upcoming MINI Coupe and Speedster. I think you might enjoy it.

To help celebrate 4 years of the Woofcast, SCMM, one of the largest MINI Cooper Clubs in the nation, has published an article about us in their latest newsletter.

If you are in Southern California, this is the only club to join. Great events, great people and always a good time. I should know, I’m member number one!

The Story of Woofcast #291

Posted in AMVIV,Notes - db,Updates — by db on 04/13/09

Once upon a time, in a desert far far away, there was a MINI Cooper event called AMVIV. And it was good.

Todd and I were there. You saw the photos and the video, right? I mean, we were in Vegas for the whole weekend. Heck, we even did a live show. And that show is the missing Woofcast; number two hundred ninety one. Performed live in front of about 12 people.

A show that Todd and Sherwin both recorded. One via audio, one via video. Great.

Or, maybe not. Todd’s MacBook was unruly that day and produced a recording that sounded like it was filtered through steel wool and crushed brick. When checking the audio from Sherwins camera, it sounded like we woke up after a night of cigar smoking and gargled with coal and razor blades.

To make matters worse, we couldn’t get our schedules together last week to do a show.

I have looked at most of the video and there is some there that’s not horrible that I will be uploading to WhiteRoof.tv later in the week.

We will be recording a show this week for sure. It’s looking like Saturday and I’ll try to talk Todd into letting us do it live.

Don’t worry, you can still go over to Motoringfile and catch up on the news, or go through the Archives here. MINI United is coming up, now would be a good time to listen to episodes from ’07 you might have missed.

WRR Update – Stats for 2008

Posted in Notes - db,Updates — by db on 02/04/09

First thing I would like to do is thank everyone for getting us to 60 reviews on iTunes before AMVIV! You guys are awesome, and there is time to spare. Do I hear 70?

And, for those of you that are curious (and because I just can’t help myself), for the year that was 2008…

  • Almost 110k of you visited whiteroofradio.com almost 300K times
  • We pushed 1.2 TeraBytes of show out. That’s 1200GB
  • You downloaded 384K episodes!
  • Woofcast 30, 36 & 119 were all downloaded almost 11K times each

Sure, that’s not the greatest traffic or huge numbers for a podcast by any means, but I am more than a little pleased!

Thanks and keep it up!

Watch later in the week for a brand new event cast! That’s right, Michael and I revivied it and and new one will be out this week!

WRR v2.0 Update

Posted in Notes - db,Updates — by db on 10/24/08

The break has been nice to say the least. Again, thank you to everyone for your patience while we take this time off! For me, break time is over and it’s time to let you in on what’s happening.

  • Our first show back will be Woofcast 275 to be recorded on November 6th LIVE. Mark your calendars now! I will post specifics that week or the week before.
  • New voicemail line is up and running. I will be contacting some of you about a special project involving that later today.
  • I have picked out about a half dozen new theme song possibilities. I will be posting those for you next week after we narrow down the list.
  • We are working on ways to get you guys in on the action more often that not. Including more live shows!

We are starting back a week later than I originally told you because we really want to get the elections behind us first. You can thank me for that later.

So just a little bit longer until we’re back. Like I already mentioned, thank you for your patience!
