Listen To This!: Dorks In 60 Years - Dorktown Podcast #114

It happened once over at DI60Y: two local fowl-mouthed and swarthy podcasters coming together on one episode. You would have thought these two would've learned from that episode never to 'cross streams' again - too much shit talking for one person's ears to take.

They did not learn. In this episode of Dorktown, a majority of the DI60Y crew joins Bells, Mikey and Producer B in the Dork studio for a meta local podcast. There's talk of:

• Bullard parties.
• Podcast history lessons.
• DI60Y's beginnings.
• The crews current local video project, Who Eats Brunch.
• How do you get free beer?
• REMOTE: More meta podcasting with the Married Gamers.
• Local celeb loving and bashing.
• Will DI60Y make a Swede this time?
• FONZY EYYS.

Everybody has regrets after this one. You should totally listen.

Fresnan Late Night: Josh & Jaime - Dorktown Podcast #105C

A long running joke on Dorktown is that the engineer/co-host sucks at engineering - and hosting but that's a whole other thing. Sadly this joke isn't written in or on purpose. Random bad audio just seems to happen on the podcast. Mics not working, random buzzing, levels all over the place and even the occasional deleted show.

Well that's what happened to the Original Dorktown #105, with guest Joshua Tehee. Somehow it got deleted. So Josh was nice enough to come back a week later and record it again... half way through, the file imploded on itself and THAT was deleted, but in a whole NEW way. So what you're (hopefully) going to listen to now is the second half or third attempt at #105-C.

In this episode you'll hear:

• Bells and Mikey hanging with Joshua Tehee and Jaime Holt as they talk about their band and how they're playing Fulton 55 Monday night as a fundraiser for Cat House On The Kings.
• One of the "members" of Mr. Rude calls in. 
• Josh & Jaime play live "In The Corner".
• Is there somewhere to go on the Fulton Mall?
• What's a merkin?
• Josh & Jaime make a big radio related - EXCLUSIVE to Dorktown - announcement.
• FRESNO "OR GAME".
• FAX stories.
• How did Dorktown get its name?
• Fonzy Eyyys.

Be careful, lot's of cussing as always. Listen by clicking:
