Joel Radio #60: Steampunk Convention
Apr 26th
It was recently Record Store Day. No, keep reading, I promise it won’t be THAT boring. Anyway, Corey recently shopped one of the last remaining indie record shops in Detroit and came away both satisfied and sad about that industry’s decline. That leads Joel to ponder the future of technology, get nostalgic about the beginnings of podcasting, and actually be optimistic about where everything is going. For example, Joel recently checked out online music service MOG, and found it, with a few reservations, to be compelling. Listen for a LIVE Android demo! Also, a big TV rundown with Joel taking in AMC’s The Killing and HBO’s Game of Thrones, while Corey revels his hopes and fears for the end of Steve Carrell’s run on The Office. Plus, Corey gives the history of comic books, Joel takes a trip through Portal 2, and BioWare rules – Bethesda sucks.

Joel Radio #51: An Abberation
Dec 2nd
It finally happened, after years of one scheme after another, show friend John Tenney, finally cracked through to the mainstream on his own TV show. While Joel, and guest host Corey Hall, are happy for John, the actual show – as you’ll hear in clips – leaves something to be desired. Hear clips of “actual” ghost hunting research, turgid voice overs and scared hillbillies. It’s typical basic cable fare, and not extraordinary basic cable fare like Joel’s favorite new show IRT: Deadliest Roads. That show reinforces a point that must be repeated here: White people – stay out of India! Plus, 127 Hours rocks, Leslie Nielsen croaks, and Corey vs. Joel in Buzz Quiz TV on PS3. It’s the ultimate interactive trivia game show, can you guess who wins?

Joel Radio #50: Goodbye Wacky Gene
Nov 11th
Joel is back, as is Conan O’Brien. So is Corey Hall, for that matter, and the guys break down Conan’s TBS debut, discuss the realities of basic cable TV, and why pretty much anybody is better than Jimmy Fallon. Joel gives his theory on the first show’s unusual guest booking, and breaks down the show’s boffo ratings – he beat Jay! Joel also reviews Bill Carter’s new late night insider book, which he consumed in one weekend! Plus, The Talk is a lot like The View (they both suck!), Due Date is a bit stale, and Corey’s “biggest story in TV” is hardly that.

Joel Radio #49: The Cider Mill Is Ruined
Oct 21st
This week’s show is completely wacky. Guest Harry Artin Berberian returns, and he’s got a brand-new rap/parody single called “Change That’s Loose”. It’s a knock on Obama, which, nowadays, may help him get some play in the Midwest. What’s Joel’s verdict? Listen and find out! Also, Joel’s quick TV debut on Detroit 1-8-7, Jackass 3D in all it’s glory, and the cider mill has some strange new clientele. Plus, meet Randy, Harry’s buddy, who’s a descendant of Daniel Boone, and looking for love on the internet in 2010. He’s also Harry’s personal trainer, which is about as fun as it sounds! A weird, wild, and hilarious good time!

Joel Radio #30: The Corey and Jay Radio Show
Jan 28th
Jay Leno finally decided to do his first “sit down” interview about the late night debacle. And even though Oprah Winfrey was chosen as the host for said interview, Corey Hall found the event worthy enough to sit in on the playback. Listen as Jay weasels his way around various question concerning Conan’s ratings, Jimmy Kimmel’s insults, and how he loves the make-up guys. If you thought Jay was a douche before, just listen to this! Also, Joel and Corey have the full re-cap of Conan’s last week, and why Jay’s show may never be the same. Plus, Joel’s memories of attending Conan’s show, The iPad debuts to a collective shrug, and the biggest bombs in TV history dissected. It’s a fun, fast, 90-minute must-listen show. Enjoy!

Joel Radio #23: No Thanks
Nov 26th
This week, Joel gives thanks for the big announcement that Oprah Winfrey is ending her talk show in 2011. While the popular spin is that she’s making the move to cable, Joel believes there’s more to the story than the “Queen of Daytime” is letting on. Go inside the numbers to uncover huge ratings drops, outrageous syndication fees and a backfiring political agenda – are any of these the real reason she’s leaving? Either way, she still weighs more than Joel! Also, the V remake is really good, the best sitcom on TV, and Black Friday is finally explained. Plus, the guys’ UFC picks undergo statistical analysis. Who’s the genius now?

Joel Radio #17: Extorted and Reported
Oct 8th
Never mind the birth of a son back in 2004, this week confirmed to the world that yes, David Letterman actually has sex with women. And women from his show, no less, who for some strange reason, are attracted to the charming, multimillion dollar, showbiz legend, funnyman. So some jealous douchebag tries to extort Dave for $2 million and the press goes crazy. Joel explains why this is no big deal, how even assholes like Leno get laid off their fame, and why politicians and clergyman should be held to a higher standard than a TV comic. Also, Joel can recommend two films this week, the new comedy Zombieland and the months old District 9, both screened at a recent trip to the drive-in. Find out what makes District 9 a sci-fi classic, who should get Oscar consideration and which film has the greatest cameo of all time – a scene that Joel manages to keep spoiler-free. Plus, an Emma Stone jerkoff filmography, Detroit sports suck, Kitty sits in on the show, and an update on TV’s best comedies.

Joel Radio #12: Day Stripper
Sep 3rd
It’s well know n that magazines are in trouble nowadays. And if you read the latest issue of Rolling Stone, you’ll know why. With a half-hearted Beatles cover story, and lamest, most questionable review section around its no wonder why this issue is almost certainly Joel’s last. Plus, another magazine gets it right on reality TV, a not terribly sad nor sorrowful goodbye to DJ AM, Joel’s song parody career begins, and a recap of UFC 102 predictions – a segment that will in the future be known as Joel’s magical money-making machine.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #211: Fallon Flops
Mar 5th
As he says on show #211, Joel has 36 years of television experience – well, watching TV anyway. So who better to judge the late night debut of Jimmy Fallon’s new talk show on NBC. Joel gives his prediction of when the show will end its run on NBC, while Corey isn’t offended as as he has been by 17 years of Jay Leno. Hear the guys ultimate predictions for the latest round of late night wars, why Corey loves Craig Ferguson, and why no one believes Jimmy Kimmel’s Uncle Frank is really that stupid. Also, Corey reviews the latest comic book would-be blockbuster, Watchmen, and show legend Nadia calls in with her newest drunken, rock & roll, lesbian story and explains why Corey is coughing through the entire show. NSFW, but it never is!
