We gut it, clean it, bread it and cook it FRESH in our latest episode featuring the jingle for Ted’s Fish Fry in Watervliet, New York! Caitlin and Don discuss the Catholic tradition of avoiding “flesh meat” on Fridays and later speculate on what “Munchers” are before finally previewing our next episode (which happens to be our LIVE show at Indian Ladder Farms on August 19th). But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Listen to this episode first, then come see us “IRL” at “ILF” on “A19!” Event details at https://fb.me/e/J5QtiaAy

These are the times (the very best times!) because Welcome to the Jingle is back to profile a set of catchy jingles from Pudgie’s Pizza and Subs in Central New York! While some restaurant chains force you to choose between pizza OR subs, this one promises both over and over again with four separate jingles spanning several decades. One even features multiple modulations! (What’s a modulation? Don’t worry, Don will mansplain it to you in painful detail.) Bon appétit!

We needed an escape so we rate(d) one (actually two) jingles for The Great Escape Fun Park in Lake George, NY! Don rides the Steamin’ Demon down memory lane while Caitlin fears what nightmares await in Crackaxle Canyon. Later, there’s a long tangent about bath salts before we finally preview our next episode on a jingle for a pizza chain which promises “Good Times” for all. How are you liking these shorter episode descriptions? Writing them is the worst part of producing a podcast so don’t be surprised if the next one is even shorter. Enjoy!

We're back and we REALLY love our jobs in this episode as Caitlin and Don review the jingle for Beer Belly Bob's Beverage Center in Waterford, NY! First, Don makes an exciting announcement about the podcast (first minute of the show - don't miss it!), then we dissect this amazing ear worm brought to us by the legendary "Rhymin’ Richie” Phillips of WGNA fame. We also get to hear other selections by this songwriting/radio veteran before previewing our next episode that promises to be GREAT GREAT GREAT! Why are you still reading this episode description? Just listen to the damn episode already!

Someone made a store just for meeeee…so we just HAD to feature its jingle - The Food Emporium supermarket chain in New York, NY! First we play and discuss this heartwarming ‘80s gem, then we throw in some bonus supermarket jingles for Hy-Vee (American Midwest), Grand Union (Upstate New York) and Robinson’s Supermarket (the Philippines). Things take a dark turn when Caitlin and Don smell something cookin’ next door before we finish up by teasing our next episode featuring an adorable ear worm for an overweight man’s beverage center. Hope you’re hungry!

In our first-ever bonus episode, we share our full interview with Bob Button of The Sharks which we recorded for our previous episode (S2:E06 - "Let's Have A Party, Albany!"). Don geeks out about vinyl records and bands with horn sections while Bob reveals more details on the history of the song, his career and other jingles that he helped pen. We've got another proper episode coming in a few weeks so listen to this one reeeeeeal slowly to hold you over, people!

In our triumphant return, Caitlin and Don brag about the Albany Times Union’s recent feature on our podcast (front page!), then we dive deep into our favorite tune about Albany, New York: “Let’s Have A Party, Albany!” by The Sharks. You’ll hear the song (which we view as a jingle for the city), followed by a snippet of Don’s interview with actual Shark Bob Button. After that, we take turns forcing additional tourism jingles down your earholes (Wisconsin State Fair, Michigan and one more that Drew Carey probably wishes doesn’t exist). Finally, we preview our next episode set to feature the jingle for a principal center of commerce offering a wide variety of edible delicacies. Also, keep an eye out for a BONUS EPISODE which includes Don’s complete interview with Bob Button of The Sharks!

Caitlin and Don recap actual world events that definitely happened since our last episode before profiling the jingle for Comfort Windows and Doors, a family-owned home improvement company based in Syracuse, New York. This episode is packed with truth and reality, from surprising celebrity deaths to the the sad story of actual person Joel McGillicuddy (so real). Finally, we tease our next episode which promises to take our listeners around the world (or at least the country) as we feature tourism jingles for local cities. Let’s be honest - based on our track record, we probably won’t record again for another 3-6 months so enjoy this episode, will ya?

In an episode recorded months (and months) ago, Caitlin and Don come at you hard with the witty banter you know and love as we review the jingle for the former Crystal Beach Park in Crystal Beach, Ontario in Canada. Caitlin’s research into the amusement park’s rollercoaster history will leave you shaking your severed head and feet, while Don’s ignorance is sure to incite a race war for the ages. After that, we’ll preview our next episode featuring a jingle for a Syracuse-based home improvement company whose windows are amazingly “the pride of New York.” Enjoy!

“We’ve got the fun” as Welcome to the Jingle returns for an all-new episode featuring the jingle for Milford Amusement Center in Milford, CT. They’ve got bumper cars and gang fights, too - everything “kids love to do!” Caitlin finally gets to discuss an actual logo and Don comes to the realization that “every business has stabbings,” so this one has a little something for everyone. After that, we preview our next episode in which we’ll review a corny-yet-lovable jingle for an Ontario, CA-based amusement park which may just leave you petrified. POP! POP!
