S1:E05 - Marineland (Niagara Falls, ON) Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

Caitlin and Don go 20,000 leagues north of the border to review a series of jingles for Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Caitlin details the park’s troubled history and Don learns the true fate of the real-life “Free Willy” before we finally dive into a charming set of watery prison-themed jingles spanning three decades. After all that, we preview our next episode featuring the jingle for a beloved former Upstate, New York amusement park that was undeniably “the family place to beeeeeee.”

S1:E04 - Water Slide World (Lake George, NY) Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

Caitlin and Don dive deep into a wave pool of nostalgia as we review the jingle for Water Slide World in Lake George, New York. We share our memories of attending the now-shuttered attraction, while also recalling our misadventures at other water-based theme parks. Finally, we preview our next episode set to feature a set of jingles for Canada's problematic answer to Sea World.

S1:E03 - Catskill Game Farm (Catskill, NY) May 27, 2021

Show notes

Caitlin and Don find adventure as we review the jingle for now-defunct upstate New York zoo Catskill Game Farm. Don goes deep into the history of America’s first privately-owned zoo, which closed in 2006 before re-opening as an inn and luxury campground in recent years. Caitlin shudders at the idea of exploring the zoo’s ruins today while pondering what happened to the animals who once lived there. We also preview our next episode featuring the jingle for a former waterpark and its wild slides. (Wild? You bet!)

S1:E02 - Thompson's Clam Bar (Cape Cod, MA) May 17, 2021

Show notes

Don takes a trip down memory lane as we review the jingle for legendary Cape Cod, Massachusetts hot spot Thompson’s Clam Bar. Don grew up vacationing on the Cape with his family and remembers dinners at Thompson’s fondly, and while Caitlin has never had the pleasure, she’s been to Cape Cod many times herself. We dive into some dark theories involving the singers of this throwback duet before previewing our next episode featuring the jingle for a now-shuttered upstate New York zoo.

S1:E01 - Rotolo's Pizza (Columbus, OH) May 09, 2021

Show notes

In our premiere episode, Don and Caitlin review the jingle for Columbus, Ohio-based restaurant Rotolo’s Pizza. Caitlin recently discovered the tune when it was featured on the Endless Threads podcast and we found it so catchy/ridiculous that we were inspired to launch our own podcast about TV and radio jingles. We talk about what makes it great vs. what we’d change, and we rate it on catchiness, effectiveness and overall amazingness. We also preview our next episode featuring the jingle of a certain seafood restaurant Don remembers fondly from his childhood family vacations.
