About this project
Update: THERE! We did it! Thanks everyone. You have made this ole devil's heart sing. The Gowanus has never smelled prettier than it does today. If you have not contributed and still feel inclined to throw Dale some bones, don't let success stop you.
What is it Dale's ex-wife used to say? "Shoot for the moon and if you miss, at least you'll hit a star, or an alien. What would it be like to sit down with an alien? What would I make? Casseroles are safe. Probably turkey casserole." That Ginny sure knew how to spin a phrase. Thank you, enthusiasts! Let's start baking those star casseroles!
OH.MY.GOODNESS! Dale is up to his old tricks and he's hoping you'll join him for the sensational Season 4 of the cult-hit podcast, Dale Radio. Launched in 2009, Dale Radio is the outlet for aspiring entertainer and recent divorcee, Dale Seever as he navigates the ups and downs of making it in the big city. Emanating from the foul banks of the Gowanus canal, the (almost) weekly show features first person accounts of Dale's adventures on the road to fame. These include riveting accounts of riding the subways, handing out flyers up on Broadway, and sampling whiskeys. Scattered in the mix are also in-depth interviews with some of the most interesting up-and-coming cultural producers from Brooklyn and beyond.
Previous season's guests include: legendary entertainer, Mr. Murray Hill; comedian, Jessi Klein; Liquor.com's Noah Rothbaum; master pie maker, Emily Elsen; comedian, Jenna Kim Jones; Crap at My Parents' House creator, Joel Dovev; visual artist and instigator, Steve Lambert; Reanimation Library founder, Andrew Beccone; crafting guru, Maura Madden; artist Luisa Kazanas; poet, Melissa Broder; creator of all things dark and wonderful, Molly Crabapple; and many many others.
Season 4 promises to have even more live tapings in NYC & BKLYN, the addition of regular house band, Karen & the Sorrows, more fabulous guests, and if all goes well, more delicious pie!
