Josh & Jaime - Dorktown #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.
  • 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".
  • A Fresno FAX story.
  • How did Dorktown get its lame name?
  • Fonzy Eyyys.

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

Dorktown Episode 99 - Same Dorks As They Ever Were

Dorktown Episode 88 - Keg Solo

Keg

Our latest episode of Dorktown is a little different and a little drunk. Alright, the drunk part isn't different and it's VERY drunk. The different part is it was recorded during Mikey's birthday/house party with the mighty Trumpet Solo as a live music guest.

  • Trumpet Solo performs their song "Hard Working Economy" with Mikey guesting on rhythm guitar.
  • Bells, Mikey, Josh T, Reid talk some random drunk talk with keg-stands.
  • Trumpet Solo live song break.
  • A finishing keg-stand from the La Selva Beach Connection.

Dorktown Podcast Episode #83 - Five Years of Dork


Podcastlogo If you haven't really listened to the Dorktown Podcast before (you've had five years to not get around to it, why start now?) the following episode is not for you. It will likely suck because it quietly marks five years of Dorktown and it's kinda self indulgent. No party like in previous years. It's just a couple of douchebags dudes talking, pretty much.

There is a new game played, music from Trumpet Solo and the Fay Wrays, the first Dorktown guest ever (Aaron from La Selva Beach), two special guests drop by the studio, Deftones at Woodward and (of course) audio problems. Other than that, don't worry about it - catch Dorktown the next time around.

  • Wildlife In The City: the full badger story from the man hero that lived it.

Dorktown Podcast - Episode 75

Simply put: This episode of Dorktown is for the giving fans of Dorktown. That's because it gets a little self-serving as there are no guests, a lot of talk about the Dorktown Anniversary Show, Dorktown's favorite "listener" is called and there is a Star Wars related tangent that can only be enjoyed by the hosts... and of course there is too many bad words. But when you get to 75 episodes, self-serving and fowl language is bound to happen.

So, you've been warned: It's NOT SAFE FOR WORK (or Dorktown haters).

Dorktown 73: Patrick Contreras Band invades

Patrick Contreras

Fresno musician, Patrick Contreras, has been making the Fresno podcast rounds and has finally stopped by Dorktown to visit with Bells, Becky and Mikey. But that's not the only guest, PCB drummer Jason and bass/keyboard player Quetzal are hanging too, along with Ms. Joey aka Lola La Chola.


We don't want to give it all away but the band will be talking about shutting down the Tower District (pretty much) June 20th and they play a new song live! Plus, Joey gives up some juicy Smog City gossip at the end.


FOWL LANGUAGE AND LOUDNESS WARNING: There's a lot of it. Tell the kids "ear muffs" then listen to DorktownEpisode73.mp3 by clicking and downloading.

Fresno 162


Dorktown #71 was recorded at Kern and L in the Newsroom Cafe. Like most Dorktowns, this episode comes with a classic Not Safe For Work or Babies warning. Seriously. And sorry for the audio levels here, they are simply all over the place... you know, like always. Some things to expect:

  • What posses a person to open up a Downtown Fresno business right now?

  • What the hell are the Rainbow Girls?

  • Is Ashley hot?

  • Drinking at Disneyland.

  • The Blue Bayou and secret clubs for "furries" and Donald Duck.

  • Everybody's first concerts.

  • Big Hat Days at Clovis.

  • Comcast has dating "On Demand"?

  • Things get out of hand.

  • Fonzy Eyyss.

Special thanks to the Newsroom Cafe for letting Dorktown bastardize their cool little hangout. Everyone should check this place out (because it's awesome) and support Downtown Fresno businesses.

Dorktown Episode 68: Sounds Like Crap

Humbly brought to you by The Fresnan it's Dorktown Podcast Episode 68. It's unsafe listening for work and small English speaking children.

If you're brave enough to listen, you can expect that hosts Mikey and Bells's mics will be too loud and the guests (Derek and Aaron) mics won't be working at all (there is a payoff for that if you can listen to the whole show). You can also expect three celeb guests to show up, and Mikey sounding like a dumbshit.

EPISODE 62: ONE DORKYASS PARTY


Listen to Episode 62

The first half of the show is clips from the Dorktown Three Year Anniversary Party. Second half is Mikey and a low volume Bells talking on the phone about why they had to talk on the phone...yep, it's as exciting as it sounds.

No real summary this time. You've just got to listen and try to enjoy. If you're new to the Dorktown Podcast, I'd like to warn you it's unprofessional, obnoxious and there is swearing throughout - nasty Fresnans.
