  1. S3:E03 - Utica Club (Utica, NY)

    OCT 8

    S3:E03 - Utica Club (Utica, NY)

    After a months-long hiatus that had absolutely nothing to do with Don’s distaste for jingle being featured, Welcome to the Jingle returns with the toe-tapping ad for legendary local(ish) beverage company Utica Club of Utica, New York! Ok, this episode was recorded nearly a half-year ago before being lost and then re-discovered on a hard drive, so there are plenty of dated references - but don’t let that stop you!. You’ll hear all about Caitlin’s Mexican guacamole disaster, Don’s upcoming original pop tune release (which has since happened: Summer Song - check that out on Spotify!), and eventually we review U.C.’s psychedelic full-length jingle from 1968 that Caitlin just loves. Added bonuses include selections from The Nutty Squirrels and our hosts coining the term “consensual mansplaining.” Enjoy!

    JUN 14

    S3:E02 - Tubby's Sub Shops (Detroit, MI)

    (AUDIO FILE NOW CORRECTED!) Season 3 continues as Caitlin and Don head to Detroit, MI to profile the classic jingle of Tubby's Sub Shops, which has gone by many names over the years, apparently. In addition to the original 1980s (or perhaps 1990s?) jingle, we get to hear an a cappella cover and some other ad campaigns for the iconic chain of sub shops.

  4. Bonus Episode - 2023 Holiday Special

    12/29/2023

    Bonus Episode - 2023 Holiday Special

    After each receiving visits from three ghosts who helped us understand the true meaning of podcasting, your two favorite hosts have decided to change our ways, open our hearts, and gift you ONE MORE episode before 2023 comes to an end. (Heck, it MUST have been ghosts! Why else would we go on and on about the last episode being our season finale only to drop one more weeks later? Anyway…) Here it is, folks: Welcome to the Jingle’s 2023 Holiday Special! In this handmade gift that only a mother could pretend to love, Caitlin and Don each draw a random advertiser from Ebenezer Scrooge’s night cap and write an original jingle for it. Who came up with the better jingle? That’s for our moms to decide, but you’re welcome to listen in and judge us, too. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays from WTTJ!

  5. S2:E13 - Times Union (Albany, NY)

    12/08/2023

    S2:E13 - Times Union (Albany, NY)

    The Holy Grail of jingles has been found (or rather, it found us) as we finally review the Albany Times Union’s iconic television ads for our epic season finale! Yes, we know we’ve been gone for too long, and with season two coming to an end we’re about to be gone even (too) longer, so here you go: a 2.5+ hour episode with absolutely no bathroom breaks (that you know of). We held it for that long and we’re betting you can, too, so hit the head and settle in for a marathon-length edition of your favorite pod featuring three version of the TU’s “We’re Your Source” jingle!

  6. S2:E12 - Indian Ladder Farms Live Show (Altamont, NY)

    09/11/2023

    S2:E12 - Indian Ladder Farms Live Show (Altamont, NY)

    First, a three-week COVID delay. Then, threats of rain, a computer that wouldn't boot up and finally a microphone with a severe case of stage fright. The podcast gods were clearly against us on this one, but in the end, we beat the odds and managed to record our long-awaited live episode at Indian Ladder Farms in Altamont, New York! To kick things off, we sit down with ILF owners Laurie Ten Eyck and Dietrich "Dieter" Gehring to chat about the farm's history, products and upcoming events. After that, we listen to four of their jingles alongside jingle writer/singer/producer/one-man-show Ritz Carlton. As if all that weren't enough to make you want to listen in, we also preview our upcoming season finale featuring WTTJ's "white whale" that we totally found ourselves and definitely wasn't just sent to us by somebody else(according to Caitlin). Thanks again to the folks at ILF for welcoming us to their awesome farm, and to all our friends and family who joined us there!

    08/08/2023

    S2:E11 - Ted's Fish Fry (Watervliet, NY)

    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
