The Jerry Springer Podcast

The Jerry Springer Podcast: Tales, Tunes and Tomfoolery is a weekly mix of comedy, liberal political talk and roots music performed by up and coming song writers and groups. Jerry is joined by Jene Galvin and Megan Hils as they compare their dissimilar lives, convo about events of the day and occasionally welcome a phone guest, some real and others you wonder. Like State Senator Tip Kemper, who recently proposed a literacy bill requiring citizens to read a book a month and submit a written report to the government at the post office. But in the middle of each episode, Jerry shows his serious side with a unique take on a current political or social issue drawing from his years as Cincinnati’s mayor and top ranked news anchor. Performed before a small audience at the Folk School Coffee Parlor in Ludlow, Kentucky, The Jerry Springer Podcast is live streamed at jerrryspringer.com and Facebook Live and archived on the podcast’s website and all major podcast apps.

The Saudi Arabian Murder of Journalist Jamal Kashoggi - EP 186 Nov 06, 2018

Show notes

The Internets are blowing up with rumors of Jerry Springer getting a new TV gig. No more tawdry tales of broken promises and broken hearts, this new rumor has Jerry as Judge. That's right, in the footsteps of Judge Judy and several others, Jerry may be the newest member of the esteemed group known as 'TV Judges'.

Jerry then recounts his days 'gigging' in coffee shops in Cincinnati in the early 70s in a futile attempt to pick up girls.

He then goes off on Saudi Arabia for the hideous murder of Journalist Jamal Kashoggi. As well he should. Journalists are a critical part of conveying information and keeping governments honest.

For music we have the inimitable Michael Jonathan, best known for his 'Woodsongs' and Sunday night shows on PBS radio.

Is the Controversy Around Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court Over? EP 185 Oct 30, 2018

Show notes

Exciting times as we welcome our new co-host, Maria Carelli. Maria is a folk singer songwriter herself, so she fits right in with us. She also has a wonderful temperament, in stark contrast to Jerry and Jene.

We asked Maria Carrelli about her song writing, performing and rock climbing. With Jene's total lack of success in getting Jerry to do something remarkable, maybe she can get Jerry to start a rock climbing career. Or at least bowling or something.

Jerry’s rant: Is the controversy of Judge Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court over? Hmmm. Hard to imagine what Jerry might have to say about that!

Our musical guest is the fabulous Michael Johnathon, known for PBS show WoodSongs Old Time Radio Hour along with his songwriting and playing.

Why Are People So Pissed Off? EP 184 Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

It's a sad day here at Tales, Tunes and Tomfoolery. Our dear cohost, Megan Hils, has taken a new position with her daytime job which has created a conflict that makes her unavailable for our podcasts.Also, we discover that Jerry's wallet is about 4 times thicker than Jene's. Looks more like a hoagie than a traditional wallet. Maybe that's not really that surprising...Jerry gives his reasons on why folks seem so pissed off these days. Maybe because Wyoming with 600,000 people has two Senators just like California with a population of nearly 40 million. Music is by Harold Hensley. Tastety stuff...http://www.magnaphonerecords.com/harold-hensley/

Kavanaugh Gets Confirmed: EP 183 Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

For starters, Jerry, shoes and airports. He's had a good long run.Gene is still trying to get Jerry to do something 'remarkable', like Bryce Carlson, the guy who rowed (yes, in a rowboat) across the Atlantic Ocean in record time. This one's extra good, and extra easy. All Jerry needs to do is pay some Italians to haul his old ass to the top of El Capitan, the beautiful mountain in Yosemite National Park.Jerry has some thoughts about our newest Supreme Court Justice, and the process by which he was appointed. They're not happy thoughts.Music tonight by Harold Hensley. BIg sound for solo artist!http://www.magnaphonerecords.com/harold-hensley/

The Resistance Movement to Trump: Episode 182 Oct 09, 2018

Show notes

From our stable of crazy politicians, this week we have Buddy Wheatly running for State Rep. (I’m a yellow dog Democrat.) With the popularity of the 'Sleep With Me' podcast and Megan's lovely voice, she's thinking of her own new podcast … Go to Sleep With Me - Ramblings to help you fall asleep. Somehow Jerry and Jene had a communication failure.Could the Rats be coming to Ludlow? After all, it's a town on the uptick!In Jerry’s rant, The Resistance Movement against Trump, Jerry compares our current times to those that are historically similar. Trump may not be going away anytime soon, but neither is the Resistance.Musical guest: Wild Carrothttp://www.wildcarrot.net/

The Values of Brett Kavanaugh - EP 181 Oct 02, 2018

Show notes

The Jerry Springer TV show has over 5,000 episodes. I guess they can rerun them until 2030. Jene asks Jerry how many shows his wife Mickey has seen? Not sure if partial episodes count or not...Regulars are familiar with Jene's propensity for, oh let's say, interesting ideas. Jene's latest business venture. A place in Ludlow called Stand Strong. This one can't miss - according to Jene. But it's too stupid to discuss here.Jerry goes off on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. What about the truth? What about values? Plus there's a constitutional issue. And finally, music by Wild Carrot http://www.wildcarrot.net/

Is the Anonymous White House Source Really Part of the Resistance? EP: 180 Sep 25, 2018

Show notes

Megan is 'lost at sea' again this week. Speaking of which we were thrilled to have Bryce Carlson on this week's show.Bryce Carlson recently set the world record for rowing alone unsupported across the North Atlantic Ocean in 38 days (previous record was 53). That's right, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a row boat, and did it faster than anyone ever has.Jerry will interview him about his momentous feat, since we talked to him via satellite phone when he was at the half way point.Jerry’s rant: The senior white house official who wrote the op-ed story in the New York Times titled, "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."Musical guest: Hickory Robot. These guys are just weird enough to be really fun.https://www.facebook.com/HickoryRobotBand/

Supreme Court Nominee Kavanaugh: EP 179 Sep 18, 2018

Show notes

A new take on the blues - Jene tells how a unique song writer sent a cut from his first album to our jerryspringer.com's “Songwriter’s Stump”. The man is Carlton Ramsey III, a Connecticut stock broker who’s songs tell of the struggles and pain of the wealthy. Jene asks David to play a sample of his album, the album’s title song, The Suburban Blues. Who knew the well off had it so rough? And their language!Jene notes that he recently had Jerry over for dinner at his home and yet he has never been, ever, ever, to any of Jerry’s six homes around the world. How could any decent man ever do that?Jerry’s rant: Supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh doesn't appear to have specific information on anything he might do as a Supreme Court Justice. It's either hypothetical or a current case he can't comment on. How convenient.Musical guest: Hickory Robothttps://www.facebook.com/HickoryRobotBand/

The Right's Diminishing Demographics: Ep 178 Sep 11, 2018

Show notes

In Jene's never-ending quest to get Jerry to do something 'remarkable', he enlisted a pilot friend, Pedro, who flies for Jerry's buddy Louis.Jene was encouraged by Pedro last week, who immediately saw the vision in his “help Jerry do something remarkable” project, Unlimited Mileage. He has pledged to join our three member driving team (Jene, Jerry, and Pedro) to travel America for a week, non stop, to pile more miles on a rental than everyone else has ever done or will do.Jene's pretty convinced that this exercise in futility will get them in the Guiness Book of World Records. We're still waiting for thier official stance on rental car mileage records.Jerry’s Take: The Right's demographics are getting smaller, but the left has to show up.Our musical guest: Abby the Spoon Ladyhttps://spoonladymusic.com/
