Dorktown Top Ten: Podcasts For May

Dorktown has decided to start a monthly list of what podcasts the Dorktown Podcast crew and select Dorktown listeners have been enjoying (or not enjoying) over the past month. We'll try and average them out the best we can and rank them - although I'm pretty bad at math so don't freak the fuck out if you think something should be ranked higher. It'll be a combo of amount of listening and enjoyment from said listening.

There will be a Overall Top Ten and a (since we are/love local and indie) Indie Top Ten. And so we're clear, if you're a regular iTunes Top 100-er and/or are part of a major podcast network and have a sponsor (basically if Stamps.com is mentioned on your podcast), then you aint indie (and you probably don't give two shiz about if you're ranked here).

So let's give this a shot.

Dorks In 60 Years - Dorktown #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.

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.

Pliny The Elder - Dorktown Podcast EP85

It's been time for Dorktown to do a show from the road for a while now. So why not do one during a friend of the show's birthday party, a one Aaron "The La Selva Beach Connection"? There is no music in this episode (sorry) because it's from the road, but you'll hear such things as:

• Bad Casa De Fruta humor.
• Pliny The Elder is the real King Of Beers.
  
• Run-ins with the Highway Patrol.
• Hard rock works at Woodward Park.
• Aaron's party begins and the Plinys are opened.
• Drunk party jibberish.
• A very hungover ride home to Fresno.

To listen, download the file: dorktownEpisode85.mp3

*There are a couple rare edits during this episode, but trust us, they had to be done [drunk jibber jabber]. Email the show: mike@dorktown.net or bells@dorktown.net

Dorktown Podcast - Episode 84

At Dorktown, we try to make the podcast as difficult to listen to as possible so we're left with the "true fan". Either that or we're just a bunch of idiots with beer and some occasionally working microphones.

In this episode, one douchebag's mic is louder than the other (the WHOLE episode) and the opening music overpowers the douchey talk. If you can handle that (and occasional nasty dialog), have a listen to the latest Dorktown:

Download: dorktown84.mp3 [39:32]

Or use the player:

If you listen you can expect: Fresno radio talk, too many Fresno burger options, Bell's old Suzuki Samurai story, Journey talk?, Bells knows no FuSE Fest artists, Central Fresno fighting, Fonzy aayyys.

Music featured: Trumpet Solo. Say Swear.

Dorktown Podcast Episode #83 - Five Years of Dork

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.

• Will there be a anniversary party for five years of Dorktown?

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