Advertise on podcast: Welcome to the Jingle

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.

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!

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!

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) by Don Ferlazzo & Caitlin Kaye

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!

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!

(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.

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!

The Holy Grail of jingles has been found (or rather, it found us) as we finally review the Albany Times Union’s iconic television ads for our epic season finale! Yes, we know we’ve been gone for too long, and with season two coming to an end we’re about to be gone even (too) longer, so here you go: a 2.5+ hour episode with absolutely no bathroom breaks (that you know of). We held it for that long and we’re betting you can, too, so hit the head and settle in for a marathon-length edition of your favorite pod featuring three version of the TU’s “We’re Your Source” jingle!

First, a three-week COVID delay. Then, threats of rain, a computer that wouldn't boot up and finally a microphone with a severe case of stage fright. The podcast gods were clearly against us on this one, but in the end, we beat the odds and managed to record our long-awaited live episode at Indian Ladder Farms in Altamont, New York! To kick things off, we sit down with ILF owners Laurie Ten Eyck and Dietrich "Dieter" Gehring to chat about the farm's history, products and upcoming events. After that, we listen to four of their jingles alongside jingle writer/singer/producer/one-man-show Ritz Carlton. As if all that weren't enough to make you want to listen in, we also preview our upcoming season finale featuring WTTJ's "white whale" that we totally found ourselves and definitely wasn't just sent to us by somebody else(according to Caitlin). Thanks again to the folks at ILF for welcoming us to their awesome farm, and to all our friends and family who joined us there!

Unfortunately one of our loveable hosts got sick so we had to reschedule the live show at Indian Ladder Farms. The new date will be Sunday, September 10th from 12-1. All other details remain the same. Sorry for the inconvenience but we still hope to see you there!

We gut it, clean it, bread it and cook it FRESH in our latest episode featuring the jingle for Ted’s Fish Fry in Watervliet, New York! Caitlin and Don discuss the Catholic tradition of avoiding “flesh meat” on Fridays and later speculate on what “Munchers” are before finally previewing our next episode (which happens to be our LIVE show at Indian Ladder Farms on August 19th). But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Listen to this episode first, then come see us “IRL” at “ILF” on “A19!” Event details at https://fb.me/e/J5QtiaAy

These are the times (the very best times!) because Welcome to the Jingle is back to profile a set of catchy jingles from Pudgie’s Pizza and Subs in Central New York! While some restaurant chains force you to choose between pizza OR subs, this one promises both over and over again with four separate jingles spanning several decades. One even features multiple modulations! (What’s a modulation? Don’t worry, Don will mansplain it to you in painful detail.) Bon appétit!
