Club Jeroen - The Podcast Channel

Tulsa Police could not do their work without the help of the people that talk to the public and coordinate the efforts of the officers in the cars, on the streets... You know tell them where to go (and sometimes, we imagine, where to stick it). In this short episode, a dispatcher is at the end of her rope trying to explain to a patrol officer where the action is. Her description of the ambulance t...

A sound-seeing trip in Omaha (Nebraska), a new voice mail hotline phone number (don't try to call it, it's defunct). music, historical sounds... Woot! This was originally published on July 18, 2005 and it hasn't gotten better with age.

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Earlier this year, Andrew didn't come home from a fishing trip. For an experienced sailor and fisherman (as well as a boat builder) who knew the ins and out of the far north Queensland waterways this was highly unusual. After much antagonizing Erica, Andrew's Dutch spouse, who had been sailing, living on the water with Andrew for the last 15 or so years sounded the alarm. Af...

I had the honour of attending a virtual press conference / presso by the QLD Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Young. She updated us on the vaccination efforts in QLD. We are a bit behind actually, but I didn't know that at the time...  Our head-med-honcho is possitive though that we can do this... I cut down her hour long talk to about 10 minutes. Take the vaccine, even if you are healthy. The thing is...

This has to be my all time favorite episode of the Tulsa Police Street Stories Podcast. It's also the episode, that sort of got us in trouble. It doesn't put the cops, victims and perps involved - and indeed the city of Tulsa - in a particularly good light. But man, is this story funny. It has all the makings of an episode Law & Order, thugs, hookers, Johns, stolen cars, tow trucks... but with a c...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Brisbane (waar ik woon) zit weer eens in lockdown. Het is maar voor drie dagen, dus dat valt eigenlijk wel mee. Maar ja, daar denken de paniek-hamsteraars wat anders over. Zodoende is er nog voor de lockdown goed en wel is begonnen, geen plee-papier meer te vinden. Daar heb ik niet zoveel last van. Ik koop sinde de vorige ISO mijn toiletpapier in bulk. En laat ik nou net vor...

This was originally recorded on July 11, 2005 and published the next day. In this show all the music is from a Dutch art collective called Skipper Boetlek. I have no clue if they still exist... I could ask Ndromeda (one of the artists you will hear in this episode) as I am still friends on FB, but instead I am going to leave it to you to find out. One of the bands I am playing in this episode is s...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Hoewel er pas nog een verhaaltje van de scheepsjongens op CLUB JEROEN stond was die van een tijdje geleden alweer. Ik was gewoon vergeten dat dingetje online te ztten. En wat krijg je dan? Ja, alweer een gesprekje met die jongens op de boot. Jongen, enkelvoud! Wat blijkt? Ze zitten hier helaas nog wel even. Ze kunnen even niet weg. De grenzen zitten dicht en het slecht weer...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - 1000's of Aussies are stranded overseas. They can't return home because the AU federal government has placed a cap, or upper limit on the number of citizens and permanent residents that can arrive back in Australia. This is, so they claim, to not overwhelm the COVID19 quarantine facilities (travelers arriving in Australia have to go into quarantine for 14 days). However, the...

The stories from the Tulsa Police Department (TPD for friends) keep getting grittier... Officer Jay relays a story of a guy waving a gun around, drunk, on a balcony... That's a recipe for disaster! Our record-keeping wasn't the best back then, but we do think it was first released on April 16, 2007 - This is real life, in the fast lane of one midwestern American city.

This episode originally "aired" on the 5th of July of 2005. You'd think it would be all about Independence Day, since that is kind of a big deal in the place I used to refer to as the Hickory Smoked Heartland. However, I had just come down from a tornado-high. So the first 10 or so minutes are me rambling on about the weather... I was recording my shit-scared self throughout one of the nights that...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Ik was het bijna vergeten... Onze hollandse mannen op die zeilboot. Dit is alweer een tijdje geleden op SBS uitgezonden. Ze zitten nog steeds in Australie, want ook als je niet vliegt dan zitten toch op een heleboel plekken de grensen dicht. Dus zeilen ze een beetje rond met andere backpackers. En daar kunnen ze leuk over vertellen! Hij was 15 Augustus al op de radio (zoals...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Jopie Witzand, host and executive producer for SBS Dutch interviews yours truly. Previously aired on SBS2 and on 4EB. 

Even though you may think this is a joke, considering this was originally publish on April 1, 2007, when your assailant is coming at you swinging, wielding a barbecue fork, your best defense is to keep it food related and in the kitchen. What does every cop pretty much all over the world carry around all day? Pepper spray! You season your steaks and make people cry all from one simple can!  Your f...

Most people do not know that before 9/11 (way way way back in 1945) a plane crashed in NYC. Right into the Empire State Building!. I have the audio of that in this episode of the Kastpod (number 5) which originally publish on June 27 2005. There is some other useless stuff (a 3 year old riding go-kart over the foot of his 9-month old cousing) and some reasonably decent music. THIS IS HISTORICAL GO...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Hoe ervaren de in Queensland wonende Nederlanders  de Corona crisis en beperkingen? Ik ben het even gaan vragen aan de mensen die ik op Facebook tegenkom. Het blijkt wel mee te vallen! Nederlanders zijn redelijk nuchter en redelijk opti... Had je eigenlijk iets anders verwacht? We maken ons best zorgen om de economie, maar we moeten ook eigenlijk wel lachen om dat WC papier...

Beer and cars is never a good combo. It gets even worse when it snows! Really, don't do it. But if you were in Tulsa some time around 21 March 2007 (the original publication date for this podcast) you could easily have gotten yourself chased by officer Jay. It turns into a foot pursuit, the driver running into the front and out the back of an apartment building and a confession of the passenger in...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Ik heb hier niet zoveel mee te maken gehad, SBS vroeg me of ik even wat vertaalde dingen in wilde spreken. Geen probleem natuurlijk. Fabeltjes over het Corona virus, het zijn er nogal wat. In deze podcast zet SBS wat kritische noten bij al het FAKE nieuws wat er over het virus de ronde doet. Dit is wat SBS er zelf over te zeggen had: Corona Fabeltjes en foute coronavirus rem...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - This is the interview I did with Dolphins (Australian swim team) head coach Jacco Verhaeren. He started his career as a trainer at the young age of 19. He went on  (among other great successes) to coach Dutch swimmer Ranomi Kromowidjojo to two gold and one silver medal at the London Olympics of 2012. He then took the head coaching job down under. It turned out to be quite th...

NUMBER STATIONS... It's the weirdest thing you've never heard. But you will hear them here. In this episode of the Skinny White Boy KastPod, that originally was published on 20 June 2005, you will learn everything about the greatest mystery of short-wave radio. Music from Anne Davis... And some other stuff. Nothing too ostentatious.

After months of preparation and lots of mishaps, Dutch backpackers Jordy and Daniel are ready to embark on their sea voyage home, on board of the ship they bought to escape the corona virus in Australia. A few issues remain: the anchor system doesn't work and neither man has much sailing experience. Right at the start of the corona crisis, 29-year-old Dutchman Jordy van der Voort bought the boat:...

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Na maanden voorbereiding - en helaas talloze reparaties - gaan Jordi van der Voort en zijn zeilmaatje Daniël Wiessing dan eindelijk de woele baren opzoeken. Het idee om terug naar Nederland te zeilen werd tijdens de coronacrisis 'geboren' en op het schip Samara gaan de twee kajuitjongens het avontuur aan. Echter: niet zonder slag of stoot. Ik heb even gecheckt of het allemaa...

SKINNY WHITE BOY IS BACK! With Walter Winchell in the historical sound bite. It's the guy that is often credited with inventing the gossip column. Unlike Skinny White Boy... My alter ego is just credited with ranting uncontrollably about road signs that say "Shoulders Drop Off" -- The question is, do they really? This 3rd installment of SWBK was originally published on June 12 2005... Oh and music...

In this episode of the Tulsa Police Department Street Stories the story is real and it's really about artificial legs. It helps to keep your head cool after an all-night party, but it doesn't stop you from being arrested for some misdemeanor warrants that still might be attached to your name. This episode was originally published on or around 19 March 2007.

Crazy happy to re-introduce the world to the Tulsa Police Department - Street Stories Podcast. Vignettes of police life in a modest metropolitan in the mid-west of the US. In this very first episode officer Jay deals with some odd coincidences and ruminates about renaming days to better reflect the oddities encountered in his workday as a cop. The exact original publication date of EPISODE #1 is u...
