Make and Break Podcast

It's Memorial Day and my car is broken. I live on Mackinac Island, so who cares, right? Oh yeah- I discuss baby tattoos and other nonsense.

The Lilac Festival is upon us and summer time is right around the corner, and I was gifted my very own Happy Birthday pardade. That's not all! Listen to find out.

In this episode, I ponder the idea of friendships and what they mean- espicially in a seasonal environment. I also take time to extole the virtues of Mert Redstone- operator of Mackinac Island's own Redstone's Automatic Transmission Repair.

Super Bonanza podcast time!

It's been tough to get anything done with the show lately and between the Holidays, writer's block, emotional black holes, and bouts of drunk, I finally got something going with this show. I think you'll like what I have to say about dish pan hands, sesame seeds, and some other normally lame stuff that I manage to twist into some perversion that I find amusing. I'm betting you will too. And I'm not a betting man.

Podcast for Make and Break Radio Episode 98. Aired live with numerous technical difficulties on www.radiomackinac.org via Live 365.

This episode was lost. Lost on a flash drive and various locations as well.  It features a partial road recording and Sean "Finster" Finnegan over Memorial Day weekend 2012.  14 minutes of fun.

Enjoy another episode of Make and Break Radio Here.

This week is a special extra long episode (possibly to make up for the previous two week's shows abscences) recapping my travel from Mackinac Island to Raleigh North Carolina via Chippewa County and Detroit airports.  I saw and experienced a lot of pretty interesting things and I am vain enough to believe that random strangers would enjoy hearing of them.  The weather was great and the trip was a great time.  I'm glad to be back on the island.  For this episode I was able to take advantage of a habit I have of visiting used record stores when I travel to a new town and Chapel Hill NC didn't disappoint.  I even picked up a Republika disc.  Don't judge me.  Enjoy! The embedded photo is taken from a Delta flight from Kinchloe Airport and shows the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, Mackinac Island, Round Island, St. Ignace, Bob-Lo, Mac City and the bridge.

Big, big show this week!  Your illustrious host will regale his audience with tales of traveling north on Interstate 75 through the lower peninsula of Michigan.  Also included is An Ode To Flank Steak, and a diatribe about car loans and the decision making process involved with the purchase of a car. This week features a new segment of the show- "Maintenance Man!" super hero for the destructive, the feeble minded, and the tool-less.  Fixing stuff so you don't have to for the sake of humanity and the continues pleasure of travellers and tenants alike.  This week- Part One of The Origins of Maintenance Man! Listen live to the show tonight at 9.  Great music and maybe some jokes you'll like. Don't forget to subscribe to the show's podcast on iTunes.  Search for Make and Break Radio in the podcast section.

The date above is a palindrome.  Crazy talk!  This week I revisit the Super Bowl (am I allowed to write that combination of words without getting sued?) and I discuss working in a 100 year old hotel.  Alone. In the winter. Also included within the show is an observation on oldsters using the facebook and more.  Don't forget to eat some chilli at The Village Inn and The Mustang Lounge tomorrow!  Enjoy the show and put on your favorite mosh pit sneakers.  No weapons or drinks on the dance floor please.

Woo!  Double nickles baby! Makes me wish I had a dime!  This week your glorious host boots producer Jim Glenstein right in the kisser with a high kick of supreme rock and roll and comedy droll.  Make way for the 11th annual Great Turtle Chili Cook-Off and listen to your's truly lecture the masses about the true history of basketball and what it means to him and society-at-large.  Tonight, the cradle will not rock nearly as much as my ....  well, have a listen at the arrow to your or grab your favorite pokin' stick and jab something with it!

This week is special for the listeners that wonder about how individuals and their personal goods and pets get around on Mackinac Island during the snowy winter months.  Discussed in part one of what will be a multi-part series are snow mobiles and how they are used for pleasure and productivity.  We'll also explore Mackinac's very own Meals on Snowmobiles program.  As a special addition, a former Mackinac Island hotel employee tells a recent equine anecdote that was recently experienced upon his return home to Georgia.

Solar flare extravaganza 2012!  I know you'll be listening to this episode because your ham radio antenna array will rendered utterly useless this weekend.  Will we have a nice showing of the northern lights this weekend on Mackinac?  Who knows.  What I do know, on the other hand, is that this episode is turning over a new leaf of superior production quality and comedy perfection.  How, you ask, can I say this with such certainty?  Because the whole show was recorded in my shower while I wore a drenched tuxedo as a belwildered stray dog looked on.  Enjoy!

Make and Break Radio is one year old today!  Last year, on this precise day I streamed the first episode of Make and Break Radio live from the lounge at Patrick Sinclair's Irish Pub on Mackinac Island.  One year later, I've lost all of my hair, the color is gone from my eyes and I can braid my ear hair, but the jams just keep on coming!  Listen tonight at nine!  It'll be worth your time.  I promise.  If you aren't completely satisfied I'll send you a bottle of Crystal Pepsi. 

It's the last show of 2011 for Make and Break Radio, and to celebrate we're airing The Big Clip Show.  Not a clip show re-running the best or worst of the year, but rather something different.  And a few old bits too.  WAAA!  So tune in at 9 tonight and have some fun!  Otherwise, stop by The Mustang Lounge and enjoy Tricky Dickie and the Spoonmen!  Listen at the arrow, download here.

Almost a year old! Let's not focus on that, but rather, why don't we examine some of the New Year's resolutions of the past from familiar names that went poorly and maybe even a few that succeeded beyond anyone's expectations.  We'll also delve into some of the idiosyncratic moments of life on Mackinac- good and bad.  Enjoy the show tonight at nine.  Have a listen at the radiomackinac.org widget on the right side of the page.

Holiday shopping, dirtbike riding Norwegians, and antler attacks are just the tip of the iceburg.  Enjoy!

It's finally Christmas on Mackinac Island.  Listen as I share some anecdotes from the past.

This episode is all about turkeys!  We scour the internets for silly stories involving turkeys and some of our listeners give thanks as well.  Enjoy!

In this show I share a story about acquiring a free Thanksgiving duck, I give a sample of my newest book "How to Raise Fighting Rabbits", and some odd news stories are shared including a story about a man jailed for throwing some ham at his mother.  Join me for a laugh!

Much to my chagrin, this was left out of Make and Break Radio Episode 36 entirely.  I some how neglected to play it live on "the air" and even worse, completely spaced inserting it into the podcast when I produced that on Saturday night. I've been seeing a lot more of this website's favorite up and comer and I wanted to let Suzi know that I and all of Make and Breaks listeners appreciate the work she is doing and remind her to keep up the good work of sending traffic here to makebreakshow.com.

This week the infamous Ross shared the mic once again and we discussed Brain as a surname, Don Garlits' skin grafts, and my new idea explaining why a lobster may be the perfect house pet.  Enjoy.

For this episode you'll get to enjoy special guest host Ross for some commentary on this week's news, I chat up Captain Chris West's lobster boat the Ugly Anne after a trip over to Bois Blanc Island, and breaking news from Mackinac Island- An ancient volcano found under an East Bluff cottage.  Woot!

Consider this my show reel of sorts.  Buy my voice!  Buy my writing talents!  Buy my braaaaaaiiiiiiiinsssss!  Enjoy as we revisit the open letter to Suzi Barret, the God Particle Found In CERN Labs Toaster, Math Lab Raided, Yeti Attacks and more! 

Here are a few moments from radiomackinac.org's Straight Talk Straits from Make and Break Radio hosted by Daniel Calvin.  Enjoy a exclusive news piece, a few comments about the Mackinac Island Music festival and more!

I took a trip to the chiropractor for a pinched nerve and I shared an anecdote about my experience with the Make and Break Radio listenership.  Mastodon.  New York Dolls.  It was a great show and I had all of one listener as far as I could tell.  They stuck it out until the end.  My guess was that they had left the room to watch Matlock.

This weeks podcast edition of Make and Break Radio is chock full of fun!  Helmet. Apostles of Hustle. Melvins.  A joke about rearranging our base ten number system due to the number 7 being a cannibal.  If you finished the weekend that comenced on the 17th feeling a bit let down, then you probably didn't listen to Make and Break Radio on radiomackinac.org or on iTunes.  So there.

One day after my birthday and boy was my brain fried.  Very little self produced content in this show, but the tunes were kick-ass!  Have a listen to what little is there and maybe you'll have a laugh or two.

I dig tunnels to Mackinac Island.

With this episode I find myself torn apart by the hardcore, the blues, the punk, and the indie.  I learned, finally, how to idintify 'shoegaze'. But let's forget that.  I really had a good amount of fun with this play list- even if it isn't very 'Mr. Calvin'. 

The Chairman joins us for an update from out west.  It turns out to be a little more wild just over the border than it is in Utah.  hillarity ensues.  I sharea bit about my syelf and we have a new sponsor this week!  Image stolen from Crushable.

The boys discuss New Year's Eve debauchery and Utah condom use.

Jim tells us a little about himself in this latest update to Make and Break.

Join your host Jim Glenstein as he discusses piracy, internet infrastructure, and Egyptian marvels with special guest The Chairman of Awesome.

This is it.  The inaugural episode of Make and Break.  Get yourself a mic and some headphones, pair them up with a Skype account and join in on the fun.
