| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast of Swoopy Cars. |
| 0:05.8 | I'm your friend David Pierce, and here's a tiny little bit of inside baseball podcast shenanigans. |
| 0:11.2 | I have been making more and more video stuff over the last couple of years. |
| 0:15.5 | Podcasts are shifting to videos in ways that, frankly, I continue to be deeply conflicted about. |
