    Dewey Raw: Fourth of July Chaos, Bull Nuts, and Starboard Survival Guide

    The Fourth of July weekend has officially landed on the Delaware shore, and the chaos is already in full swing. In this episode of Dewey Raw, we are broadcasting from The Starboard to break down the aftermath of the Running of the Bull—complete with some highly unexpected costume additions—and the survival strategies needed for the holiday rush. We talk about the fine art of “hydrating” with fresh-squeezed orange vodka crushes, catch up with the incredible front-line staff holding the venue together, and debate the merits of backyard fireworks versus sparklers. Finally, we look ahead to the looming dread of “Angry August” and lay down the ultimate rule for holiday weekend survival: tip your bartenders, be kind, and don’t be “that guy” This is a public episode.

    Dewey Raw: Surviving the 29th Annual Running of the Bull

    Welcome back to Dewey Raw, the podcast pulling back the curtain on the biggest little party town on the Delaware shore. In this episode, host Todd DeHart and the crew recap the beautiful, beer-fueled madness that was the 4th of July weekend and the 29th Annual Running of the Bull. Our dedicated street team hit the pavement to interview the frontline heroes of the holiday weekend—from the packed, sun-drenched beaches to the massive line snaking outside The Starboard. Inside this episode: * The Frontline Report: The street team shares what they actually remember from a day of slingin’ jello shots and crushing orange crushes. * Local Legends & Leadership: Exclusive, high-octane interviews with Starboard owner Dickie, 18-year venue veteran Leroy, and Dewey Beach Town Manager Bill Zolper. * The Wet T-Shirt Incident: The real story behind why our camera operator ended up getting doused with a bucket of water early in the day. * The Age-Old Debate: We ask the locals the ultimate question: Is Running of the Bull a sprint, a marathon, or are we just sprinting through the marathon? (Plus, a deeply scientific poll on how many Minions the average drunk person can take in a fight). Pour yourself a fresh Orange Crush and dive into the absolute peak of summer chaos.
