S3:E07 - 1-800-411-PAIN (Atlanta, GA) Mar 11, 2026

Show notes

We told you we had another unreleased pod for you, and now we’re finally back and “bringing the pain” with a full-length episode all about 1-800-411-PAIN (Atlanta, GA) featuring not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or even 6, but a whopping 7 jingles for the personal injury law firm/legal referral service! As a special bonus, the episode also includes a previously omitted Milk commercial that is perhaps the best of its kind. We vow to record new episodes again soon, but in the meantime, please enjoy this edition of Welcome to the Jingle! NOTE: Audio file now corrected to include the 7th jingle toward the end of the episode.

Holiday Special 3: Better Late Than Never Jan 17, 2026

Show notes

Ok, kids. Mommy Caitlin and Daddy Don have been slacking all year, having only released ONE new episode in 2025. We know we've been neglecting you and for that we are sorry. To make it up to you, please enjoy this late (but hopefully worth-the-wait) holiday special! As always, we each pick a random/fake advertiser and write a jingle for it on the spot! We promise to come back with more new episodes in 2026 (we already have another recorded!) but for now just know we still love you and there's no need to call the authorities on your favorite parents/podcast hosts!

S3:E06 - Milk (USA) Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

Got Jingles? We do! Because we’re BACK with an all-new episode of Welcome to the Jingle after 10 months of absolutely nothing! In this episode, we finally make an exception by profiling a national (not local or regional) advertising campaign for Milk. Full disclosure, this episode was recorded in February so it’s technically “NOS” (New Old Stock), but it’s definitely a fun one as it includes four different jingles promoting the creamy white beverage over prior decades. Hopefully you find this episode was worth the wait and you’ll stick around for the next one, coming soon(ish). Enjoy!

Bonus Episode - Holiday Special 2: Lost in New York Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

Just like the original installment before it, this sequel holiday special follows the exact same formula as its predecessor. First, Caitlin and Don gift each other a randomly-selected advertiser. Then, after a 30-minute hiatus (that you don’t have to wait through thanks to the magic of audio editing), we present each other with freshly-written original jingles that would make even a grinch’s heart grow three sizes (minimum). After that, Don surprises Caitlin with a political jingle he found in the wild that ultimately failed to help its candidate win an election, but is too country-fried good not to discuss. Enjoy and Happy Holidays from your friends at Welcome to the Jingle!

S3:E05 - Nantucket Crisps (Nantucket, MA) Dec 16, 2024

S3:E05 - Nantucket Crisps (Nantucket, MA) by Don Ferlazzo & Caitlin Kaye

S3:E04 - Zoom Tan (New York/Florida) Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

WTTJ is back with yet another long-shelved episode recorded earlier this year as we profile the jingle of Zoom Tan, the regional tanning salon chain with a heavy presence in both New York and Florida. In this one, Don pledges his loyalty to his childhood dentist while Caitlin finally comes clean about her desire to be tan and tasty despite her better judgement. We also cover the local (to us) Zoom Tan takeover and multiple news reports of unauthorized cell phone use at the salon while Don tries his best to avoid a lawsuit. Will he succeed? Listen in to find out!

S3:E03 - Utica Club (Utica, NY) Oct 08, 2024

Show notes

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!

S3:E02 - Tubby's Sub Shops (Detroit, MI) Jun 14, 2024

Show notes

(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.

Bonus Episode - 2023 Holiday Special Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

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!
