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

You would think a podcast that has been around over six years and have now done 99 shows, would know what the hell they're doing. Not Dorktown. Nope. Still messing up after all these years.

Take a little walk (complete with messed up audio) down Dorktown's historically nerdy and fowl mouthed past with Bells and Mikey. They talk about their favorite moments, play some old audio, listen to FUSE Fest band, Sounds & Sciences and give the ultimate Fonzy Eyyys.
