## Resource

Rory went down to see how Ford's tackling the EV pickup idea. We salute Alex Zanardi for racing as hard as he could, for as long as he could. We also shout out the guys at Speeed for teaching the youngsters interior design. Digressions include the proper age to enjoy Star Wars, Rian Johnson's good taste, and Rivian trying to get after the wrong bluegill. Peter's got new music out: https://peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/album/dissociation-loops Alloy's piece on the Ford EV skunkworks visit is here: https://alloymag.com/visit-fords-evdc-skunkworks-ev-uev/ And of course, sign up for an Alloy membership here: https://alloymag.com/sign-up/ And your producer pal Matty has nothing to plug & is just glad you're here on the Patreon page.
