32: The Oddcast Turns One
Happy anniversary! Hard to believe there are almost 52 episodes. "Almost", because a couple of episodes have gone missing. These are now refered to as The "lost" episodes. If you find them, give them back please. Otherwise, console yourself with this thought: how can these two idiots have done 52...

31: Fear His Savage-y Powers!
It's a Savage world out there. Rick, Dick, Nick, Steve, Bob, Mike, Ike, etc,etc. But radio's most respected Savage appears to be Brad from Ohio. WAPS to be accurate. Why? Fuck if we know. The Oddcast opened Brad's brain recently and, honestly, had a hard time closing it. It's a absolutely a...

30: Yes, iHurt Radio Really Does
Also, Halloran tries to explain the concept of crossover hits, and really doesn't. Tolkoff finds Halloran's critical thinking skills have (surprise!) left the building. But in a bit of good fortune, this week's episode is actually saved by Halloran's #1 son, Declan. Declan is, fortunately, still…

29: There's The Gig Economy, Then There Are DJs That Also Do Porn
Just think of porn as short films with happy endings. And we all know that quite a few of you (us, whatever) have an item on ye old bucket list that reads something like "Act in porn video". Oh, please don't deny it. Among other tidbits of useless knowledge in this episode we will learn which 91X...

28: A Pre, Pre, Pre History Of 91X
Wherein Tolkoff and Halloran find out shit they never knew about 91X. Carbon dating was, in fact, used in the making of this podcast. It was revealed that the station first started broadcasting in 1887. Yes, 91X was always on the cutting edge, especially when it came to technology. No other…

27: On Prancer, On Dancer, On Vixen, On Blitzen, On Jaeger, On Comet, On Vomit!
On this special holiday episode, Tolkoff and Halloran ride their Lime and Bird e-scooters to the beach. When they bog down in the sand at the water's edge the two radio kingpins ditch the scoots and walk off into the sunset. Later during high tide, the scooters are washed out to sea. Email us!...
-
26: Holiday Gift Buying Guide. 10 Gadgets You Will Re-Gift Next Season
Ok folks, its the next to last episode of the year. Don't worry, Max and Halloran are, at this very moment, in the studio cutting up the highlight reel. What they don't know is that there ARE no highlights. What they also don't know is we switched their regular coffee for Folgers crystals. Let's...
-
25: D'yer Mak'er
Every announcer in the history of rock radio pronounces it "Die-er Make-er". We've all been wrong. For years. It's not like the subject has never come up. It has, but being 'Muricans we love to hate learning anything so learning the right way to pronounce a Zeppelin song was a no-brainer: ignore...
-
24: Have You Seen "Travels By Narrow Boat" Yet?
Its on Amazon. DO NOT watch this show while on drugs. Unless, of course, you'd fancy a real life version of The Ring happening to you. Nuff said. Email us! [email protected]
-
23: If You Listen Carefully You'll Hear It
Messages are not facts. But facts can sometimes be messages. Messages are open to interpretation. The message itself means nothing, until filtered through your own world view. Does the message convey good, or bad? Do you see logic, or nonsense? Do you see fact, or interpretation? Best advice: let...

22: You're Goddamn Right We Ordered The Code Red!
And they would do it again. One of the topics in this week's episode; Tolkoff wants to challenge a GM to give the two of them an ailing station to turn around. Halloran hates the idea and thinks Tolkoff has gone off the rails. Then the two cultural icons were distracted by a squirrel. Send us…

21: Magnificent! Part 2
Pat Magnarella continues to school the Oddcast. This week he discusses the importance of bands who know how to work hard, confirms the intelligence of bands that buy mass amounts of cheap tube socks before getting in that tour bus, and demonstrates great patience for stupid questions. We care…

20: Magnificent! Part 1
He's a one man music discovery machine. He's touched the careers of some of our most beloved artists; Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, Weezer, Beck, and so many more. One day, Pat Magnarella will look back on his time on The Oddcast and realize this was definitely one of the low points of his career....
-
19: Gibberish As A Second Language
Halloran and Tolkoff have a finely honed sense of absolutely nothing. But that doesn't stop them from weighing in with nonsensical comments and bad advice. Like, Facebook hates us, furries, Green Day in Boston, and whither image production. Email us! [email protected]
-
18: Twatt, Scotland
At some point we're gonna have to move this whole operation offshore. The Orkney Islands seems like the perfect place. After all, that's where Luke Skywalker went to get away from it all. If its good enough for him, ts good enough for a couple of schmoes from CA. Email us! [email protected]

17: Lenny Diana Spills His Guts, And We Have To Clean Them Up. Part 2

16: Lenny Diana Spills His Guts, And We Have To Clean Them Up. Part 1

-
15: Pot. Kettle. Black.
You'd be forgiven for thinking these two boneheads will eventually get tired of the sound of their own voices. But they won't, even though you will. On the plus side... wait. There is no plus side. Email us! [email protected]
-
14: Is The Alt Format Dying, Dead, Or... Growing?
Tolkoff, as usual, takes a rather dim view of the situation. Halloran, true to form, has NO IDEA what to think. Together, it's a case of the blind leading the stupid. The only thing they can agree on is that some poor, hapless station with crappy ratings would be well served to have these two as...
-
13: Full Harcourt Press, Part 2
This week Halloran and Tolkoff finally shut the hell up (a little bit) so they can hear Nic explain how horrible he thinks they are (a little bit). Actually, none of that is true. What IS true is how much Nic has maximized his time in broadcasting. Hear it all right here... Email us!...
-
12: Full Harcourt Press, Part 1
It would be convenient to say Nic Harcourt followed the Beatles, Stones, and all the other brit bands to America to find fame and fortune, but the truth, much like Harcourt himself, is far more complicated. Nic's assault on the USA started humbly at WDST in Woodstock, NY. before storming the west...
-
11: Odd Man Out
As usual, Halloran and Tolkoff try to achieve a deeper understanding of modern broadcasting. They discuss some of the challenges, as well as possible solutions, to many of radio's current ills. However, as is often the case with these two, they achieve nothing more than sounding like a couple of...
-
10: Ever Seen A Grown Man Naked?
For some reason science cannot explain, Halloran chose to spend his valuable minutes on the show demeaning Tolkoff. You can probably imagine how THAT went. In fact, you can listen to it right now. Email us! [email protected]

9: The Other White Tedd
Tedd Roman started his radio career at the tender age of 17 as a gofer for Mark & Brian at KLOS. He quickly became the show's producer at a time when the famous morning show started a meteoric rise to the top spot in Los Angeles. Then, as most things do, it ended, forcing Ted to hit the streets…

8: The Ted Volk Chronicles, Part 2
So, what did we learn last week? Yep, we don't remember either. We just like the sound of Ted's voice. It makes us think the world may not, actually, blow itself up with nukes. But what do we know? Email us! [email protected]
-
7: The Ted Volk Chronicles Part 1
Ted Volk arrived on the alternative scene at the very beginning of a major upheaval in a format that, at the time, was barely even recognized as a format. Ted started his promotion career as the Boston local for Geffen/DGC. Eventually, the mother ship in L.A. called Ted in to explain that it was...

6: Horrible Tips For On-Air Interviews
Halloran and Tolkoff THINK they know the right way to do on-air interviews. As usual, they're delusional. They can't even interview each other properly. Email: [email protected]
-
5: Speak Into The Mic, Please
Halloran and Tolkoff engage in shameless name dropping while discussing proper artist interview techniques. Then they realize neither of them actually knows what the hell they are talking about. Hilarity ensues (well, at least THEY think so). Email us! [email protected]
