Episode 012: After signal failures kept two great shows in a row off the air, David and Mac finally broadcast uninterrupted and they turn in a stinker as they have to fight through technical problems. Good night! The boys continue to get annoyed at their forced corporate toadying. Valentine’s day talk. A police chief calls the show looking for another cop.

Episode 011: Another Lost Broadcast!

This show was once again lost to the airwaves and once again David and Mac didn’t know. The temporary studio’s signal problems ruins another game of What Up. The boys bristle at having to read ad copy for their sponsors. Mac gets a call from a rival DJ.

Opener: “Not the Same” by Ben Folds, off the album Rockin’ the Suburbs
Closer: “Ode to a Black Man” by The Dirtbombs, off the album Ultraglide in Black

Episode 010: The Lost Broadcast!

The magic boys are back on the air… but for not for long. About half way through the show, the station’s signal dies. Mac and David don’t know this and continue to soldier on. The signal probably killed itself after hearing Mac drone on about the Death Wish movies.

Playlist:
Opener: “The Second Coming” by Juelz Santana and Just Blaze
Closer: “Walk Hard” by John C. Reilly off the soundtrack album Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

EXTRA TRACK! As an added bonus here’s an audio clip of some pre-show banter with our lead-in.

On the Air?

So last week, during our triumphant return to the airwaves, our station’s signal went off the air – right in the middle of our show. So we spent the first 15 minutes of the show trumpeting our return and boasting about how no one can touch the Mascot Wedding show and then we spent the last 15 minutes pumping out dead air. We didn’t know this of course. We were yukkin’ it up like nothing was wrong. The entire thing got recorded and will be posted as a podcast sometime this weekend.

New show this afternoon. Hopefully our electromagnetic hubris won’t doom us two weeks in a row.

Mascot Wedding Back on the Air!

The Mascot Wedding show will return to the airwaves this Thursday. We’ve been off the air for four weeks due to a fire that destroyed the KOOP studio. We’ll be broadcasting out of a temporary studio graciously donated for KOOP’s use by Entercom Communications. I’m not sure of the recording options we have at the new studio (I’m going to go check it out tonight) so I don’t know at this time if the podcast will be affected. I do know that after four weeks I’m anxious to get back and start droppin’ some LOLs and taking your calls.

Once again, you can listen to the Mascot Wedding show with David and Mac, every Thursday from 3-3:30 PM CST, 91.7 FM Austin, Streaming world wide at koop.org.

Fire Hits KOOP, Mascot Wedding Off the Air

It’s true. 91.7 KOOP, the beloved home of the Mascot Wedding show, has been forced off the air due to damage caused by a fire. This is the third fire in as many years, but the first at our awesome new studio (which we relocated to because of the other fires). I don’t have any more details about the fire (except that no one was hurt), but I will say that KOOP is hard at work on a contingency plan and hopefully we’ll be back on the air very soon. So, no new shows until further notice. In the meantime, we still have three more podcasts to post, so be on the look out for those. Thanks.
