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.

Show notes

We talk about the Cincinnati Activist Musician Talent Search - the deadline is February 11. If you're a folk musician looking to make change with your music, apply here: http://jerryspringer.com. Before he was an international celebrity, what was Jerry Springer like as a youth? Was he the star quarterback at Forest Hills High School? Was he the third member of Simon and Garfunkel? (No, he spent his leisure time in his lonely room recording on a reel-to-reel tape machine the play-by-play of the Yankees games as he watched the black and white TV with the sound down.)Then, Jerry wonders: As iterations of the "Wall" go back and forth, and weeks after the infamous "shithole" country remarks, has President Trump's stance on immigration changed at all?

Should Democrats Be So Sure They'll Take Back Congress in '18? Ep. 143 Jan 09, 2018

Show notes

Jene updates us on his call with Running Wild With Bear Grylls, a reality show in the wilderness that, for some reason, Jene thinks Jerry should attempt. Then, Jerry tells a story about how he actually once worked for Donald Trump, hosting the Miss Universe pageant and embarrassing himself on television. Then, Jerry worries about how the Democrats are projecting much confidence about the 2018 elections. Democrats are optimistic they could take back both the House and the Senate. But are we seeing it with clear glasses?Furthermore, Jerry wonders about the impact of Republican support of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, and how women voters might perceive those gestures, especially in the midst of the #MeToo movement. Protecting women should be a top priority in the elections this November. Our musical guest: Warrick and Lowellhttp://www.warrickandlowell.com/

No such luck. Then Jerry takes a look back at 2017, a strange year for our country. He says Steve Bannon and takedown of the American government was largely successful - for now. He also notices that the Republican Party is unrecognizable, as Evangelicals justify Trump and fiscal conservatives justify a trillion dollar increase to the debt.Music from Booty's son Ouiwey Collins and his band FunkSquad, playing a new song titled "Together We Can."http://artistecard.com/FunkSquad

Sylvia Tyson Interview: Ep. 138 Dec 05, 2017

Show notes

On today's show, we have a live phone interview with Sylvia Tyson, of the iconic 60s folk duo Ian and Sylvia. Then, Jerry dives in on the Republican tax bill and how screws the middle class. The middle class pays more in taxes and loses services they need. The white middle class in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio - who sent Trump to the White House - get killed by this. The Republicans are rewriting the tax code to appeal to one small group: wealthy Republican donors.
