0:00.0	From Gimlet, this is reply all. I'm Alex Goldman.
0:08.1	And I'm PJ vote.
0:13.6	And this week PJ we have a Super Tech Support.
0:18.2	A Super Tech Support is a segment on our show where listeners come to us with their weird,
0:25.3	unsolvable tech problems. And one of those usually you goes out and tries to solve it for
0:29.8	them. And you have one. I do. Tell me about it.

1:30.1	Anyway, for some reason, the radio in his new car refuses to play one podcast and one
1:38.4	podcast only, which is the radio to be a podcast 99% invisible. Really? Yes. And it's driving
1:46.4	him absolutely insane. His car Bluetooth has rejected Roman Mars and his stories. Yes.
1:54.1	Obviously, like for people who don't know, 90% invisible, host of that Roman Mars. It's
1:58.5	really great nonfiction podcasts. They tell like all these stories about design, like how
