A little hinnie turns one year old

Dalecast, the proud little working-class podcast from Frosterley in Weardale, U.K., that promoted (Jerry Lewis) Fly Me To The Moon to the masses and also played a bunch of other stupid songs, has turned one year old.

Gravel-voiced host Steve Wheatley produced a special, 300th episode on Friday, July 11, and two days later marked his podcast anniversary. As always, he closed his show with his trademark call for world peace, “Tattie bye for now, hinnies!”

During that first year, Steve played some 6,000 songs, perhaps more than any other podcaster. I’ve been a particular beneficiary, with 43 total plays (17 alone for my Jerry Lewis numbah) through July 16. Continue reading

Unstoppable

I’ve been on a fantastic run with Dalecast, where host Steve Wheatley has featured a different Ken Turetzky track for each of the past seven shows.

In fact, I even broke out of the Dalecast comedy ghetto on the latest episode with a spin of my blues track, Why Don’t You Get A Job (Live at Mayfest), extracted from my recent performance in Fort Worth.

At least the new guys are some of my old friends, as I shared the comedy bloc with new songs by the Volume Brothers and Tyrone Kahn (The Kahn Man) on two recent episodes of Dalecast.

For Show 241, host Steve Wheatley sandwiched (Jerry Lewis) Fly Me To The Moon between the podsafe tunes Bad JuJu and White Van Man from the Volume Brothers, produced by UK fav and my old MySpace pal Chris Wilkinson. Continue reading

Phil’s no douchebag

Big Phil made a big mistake and now he’s feeling bad about it. I’ll let him tell the story:

Ed’s OK, but I don’t like his friends

Ed Ovett is a native New Yorker (I don’t know this for certain, but I’m guessing from the accent) and he pronounces my last name confidently and correctly, for which he gains my highest respect.

Recently, Ed set the tone for a comedy episode of Ed’s Mixed Bag with (Jerry Lewis) Fly Me To The Moon, which has proven to be my most enduring selection among podcasters looking for a sure-fire jolt of Vegas schmaltz. Continue reading
