About

“WHY DOES THAT EXIST?”

Talk Radio Meltdown is an uncensored talk radio program, streaming weekly here at www.talkradiomeltdown.com. Each show is available to download on-demand through our website, iTunes, PodcastAlley, and various other podcast directories.

During each live broadcast, we invite our listeners to get involved with the show. You can call us, chat with us on AIM, send us e-mail, and leave us voicemails to play on the air (visit out CONTACT page for more info on how to get involved.)

Talk Radio Meltdown began in April 2009 by Jack Gill, as a two hour podcast that covered everything from current events to the hosts’ bizarre personal lives. Since then, the show has developed a consistently growing fan following, with people tuning in from all over the world.

The show is known for creating controversy through topics discussed on the air, which range from current internet “memes,” bizarre and hilarious world news, to everyday things that piss people off.  The hosts’ raunchy and sometimes disturbing banter – usually consisting of bad toilet humor and sex stories – make the “quality programming” you hear each week.

Along with the uncensored show, Talk Radio Meltdown is featured each week on RadioYou Boston, the HD-2 sub-channel of WBOS 92.9 (better known to Boston listeners as “Radio 92.9″) The show, while separate from the uncensored program, follows the same formula, but with fewer obscenities. Being on RadioYou Boston has made Talk Radio Meltdown readily available to the city of Boston, and is becoming a favorite among RadioYou listeners.

If you’re a new listener, give our show a try. You will love us or hate us, but we guarantee you’ll come back for more.

PODCASTING 101

First and foremost, the one question people always ask in regards to podcasting is, “do I need an iPod to listen to your podcast?” The answer is no.

A podcast is simply an audio file – usually in MP3 format, like our show. We guarantee that you must have at least some sort of software on your computer capable of playing MP3’s… even you Europeans with your Media Player-free versions of Windows XP. iTunes, Winamp, VideoLAN, … hell, even InfranView can play MP3’s.

Devices like the Microsoft Zune, or your name-brand, $20 “digital music player” that you bought from Wal-Mart, can play MP3’s, as well, so if you were too cool to buy an iPod and instead invested in one of those fine pieces of technology, then you too can take Talk Radio Meltdown on the go.

HOSTS

Jack Gill is your host and self-proclaimed mysoginist. He claims he is always right about everything, yet lacks the most basic of social skills.

Chris “Fro” Froment is the show’s co-host. He is a man of many accomplishments, which include showing up for work on time and paying attention (most of the time.)

Katie Crepeau is the woman of the show, and newly appointed events coordinator. She has a vagina. If that doesn’t get your attention, then I don’t know what will.

Mike Tarara is our imaging voice, fourth mic, and watches Jon & Kate Plus 8 religiously. Please ask him about it.

COMPANY WE’VE ENJOYED

The following is a list of people who have co-hosted the show in the past, in no particular order:

• Dave “Wooter” Wooten co-hosted the show for many months, and will destroy you at sports trivia. Dave is a great guy that is always welcome back on the program.
• Grant Elliot George has a deep, booming baritone that soothed the two ladies that listened to our show the first night he guest hosted.
• Nate Fillers is a dear friend of everyone on Talk Radio Meltdown, and claims to have invented the Pokemon known as “Porygon.” His hobbies include voting for Talk Radio Meltdown on PodcastAlley (http://talkradiomeltdown.com/vote) and selling counterfeit jeans out of his garage.
• Warren Thomas Noel is a dirty hick from western Massachusetts who is colorblind, a relevation he made during one show when he discovered his shirt was a different color from what he thought.
• Chris “Acc” Acciardi hosted “The Acc & Jack Show” with Jack, long before the Meltdown show. He has an awful lisp, has had ”the constipation disease” for over six years (according to Jack) and cries when he doesn’t receive his pudding snack after lunch.
• Jimmy “Big Red” Park co-hosts regularly, where each show he appears on happens to be more offensive than others. Big Red is known for introducing everyone to “2 Girls 1 Finger.”
• Demick O’Brien has co-hosted a couple of shows with us. He is a nomad and will be one day be raped by Kate.
• Big Ed Teague does all of our photography here on the show, and by night, is a superhero.
• Challenges is a band from the Worcester, Massachusetts area who have performed on our show. They substitute antifreeze as a recreational drug (http://myspace.com/challengesma)
