Day Drinking on Delmarva

In this episode, Todd and Tony consider the difference between an owner having a brand and a company having one. In our “Willfully Ignorant” section we read a story from Berlin’s history about a farmer who punished his 8-year-old by auctioning him off in the street. Ah, the good ol’ days! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus epis...

In this week’s episode, we revisit the story of the WPA project that installed the jetty down at the north inlet. We also imagine the Ocean City causeway as it was. This is a public episode.

This week, Todd and Tony discuss the implications of AI on their own work. In the history portion, they recount the story of Bethany Beach’s founding by reading an interview with a 90-year-old woman published in 1938. She got there by train, boat, horse, boat and mule, but there was very little traffic. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get acces...

In this episode we discuss the eary days of the fight about what Dewey Beach should be, Todd’s work at the Freeman Pavilion and why it’s a waste of energy to turn your social media over to whomever seems to have some time on their hands. If you’d like to discuss the show, feel free to comment below, even from your email. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscr...

Happy New Year! We’re finally back and we’ve added a new feature. If you’re a regular listener, you may recall that each week we have a feature called “One Cool Thing” where we highlight our week. Todd still will be sharing his weekly adventures in digital marketing, but we’ve tweaked mine a bit because I honestly rarely leave my house. Starting this week we’ve added a history component to the sho...

Until quite recently Tony thought Doug E. Fresh was one of the Beastie Boys. This just says more about his ignorance than about these performers. Also: Tourist attitudes and how to surf them.

I don’t want to rant, but sometimes I do. I had worried that this would be one of those shows where I forget not to rant, but fortunately, that wasn’t the case. In this episode we talk about new restaurants in Berlin and my continuing introduction to the funeral business. The big takeaway for me this week is that it is really difficult to find trending funeral stories the week the Queen of England...

I wanted to write more this week, but time was not my ally. There’s lots of good stuff in today’s show, but I wanted to ask about Def Leppard. I was home for Labor Day weekend and my brother was playing one of those countdown shows on Spotify. It was the Top 100 Cassettes of all time. The premise was that people voted for the best cassettes they bought and the DJs (actually former VJs) chose the m...

I’d like to pretend I’m sending this out on Sunday intentionally. I had everything so ready to go for posting this week that I forgot to hit the “Go” button. Sorry about that. In this episode, Todd talks about the bikable parts of the Delaware Beaches and I recount my battle with a dead, cooked snake in my dryer. Also, I grow cherries. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this wi...

I have an obsession with flags. Todd flies them occasionally. Lots of people do. I don’t happen to, but that’s an aesthetic choice. The problem for me (as I’ve said a thousand times) is that flags are like bumper stickers for your home. People increasingly treat them that way as well, which is bonkers. At the bottom of it, though, what’s worth thinking about is the lack of thought people seem to p...

I don’t know why it took so long to think of this. Todd and I have been taking photos as a significant part of our jobs for the better part of this century. We covered events (with differing degrees of enthusiasm) all over the region. On the face of it, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to add a photo section to an audio podcast, but the pictures don’t really matter. The idea is to go back through th...

Competitive tag (the schoolyard game) is a televised sport. Like on ESPN. That is absolutely bananas. Worse, it’s poorly produced. The premise is that grown 20-or-30-somethings chase one another around for 20 seconds. One person is it. One person runs. Everyone else watches. The show that I skimmed (thank god for fast-forward on YouTube), featured more delays than competition, which almost makes s...

Todd and I are awful at promoting our podcast, which is too bad because it’s pretty good. It is also in the top 5% of podcasts internationally. According to a recent survey, only about 5% of podcasts have been in production for 10 or more years. We may not have the listenership of Marc Maron nor the gift for profiting from controversy that Joe Rogan has, but we show up every week and have for more...
