05/15/09: Scorpions of Support

Are you a Scorpion of Support? We have had several emails from listeners asking us to create a subscription function to handle monthly donations (one listener makes a monthly donation on his own every single month) so we thought we could set it up for you through paypal. PBS does it, why can't we?

Here is the important information: The Mediocre Show will ALWAYS BE FREE to the listeners. I, Eric Tomorrow, promise you that. This subscription is for people who wish to help out the show with some of the monthly costs associated with doing the Mediocre Show. This is not something that is required, and if you choose to not use the subscription service, you will not miss out on the show. What the subscription will get you, is periodic merchandise specifically for the Scorpions of Support (this will not be every month, but occasionally i will send out an email to the scorpions to ask them to send me their current address and other information i may need to send you a gift.) Mostly what you'll get is the knowledge that you support the Mediocre Show to continue on as it is now. We value the support The Nation gives us, regardless of donations or anything else, the truth is, YOU are the reason we continue to do this show.

Again: The Mediocre Show is now, and will always be free.

Currently we have 4 levels of support (if you would like a different amount, please send an email to toilet@mediocreshow.com and i can set that up for you)

Level 1: 5 dollars a month
Level 2: 10 dollars a month
Level 3: 20 dollars a month
Level 4: 30 dollars a month.

04/14/09: Update to the Noss Challenge

Several people have asked recently, so i figured i would update things a bit. the new wishlist is set up on sweetwater sound: http://www.sweetwater.com/click/wlhash/hb85ff7f6001338b2252c28b1d1716881 or if you would rather call, you can call our rep directly, his number is below.

Sweetwater is a much better company, and much better customer service, combined with the fact that a few employees there are listeners to the Mediocre Show.

So please support them, and if you are wondering how you can help the show, there is a way, also, if you need gear for yourself, and you mention the Mediocre Show, sales rep Mike Conyers will give you a discount.

Here is his contact info:
Mike "Conyeezy" Conyers -Sweetwater Sound 800 222 4700 x1387

10/29/08: Tonights show has been cancelled

hello nation,

today is wednesday october 29. the continuation of game 5 of the world series is tonight at 830 in the PM. as you know, we broadcast from the philadelphia area, and our beloved philadelphia phillies are up 3 games to one in the series. since a situation like this hasn't happened in nearly 30 years, we thought we should probably take the night off and take everything in (and if we did the show, we would be horribly distracted anyway. as this seems to be a once in a lifetime thing for a philadelphia sports fan. so please tune into the game tonight and root for the phillies, i will try to record some video and post it in the feed tomorrow as some sort of content for you guys and gals to ingest. thanks again for the continued support, and well be back like normal next week hopefully with a little spring in our step. GO PHILLIES!!!

05/28/08: Mixer issues

We have been doing the mediocre show for nearly 3 years now. And up until now, we haven't really asked for donations much.

For those of you who weren't listening live last night, the audio mixer we use to broadcast the show, which also makes it possible to take calls, and record the show, died about 5 minutes before starting the live show last night.

In a panic, i set up a small mixer i have, just to get the show out there live, but it was not an ideal situation. We couldn't take calls, the audio sounded terrible, and we weren't able to do the show as we have been for many years.

The short version here is, we need money to buy a new mixer. Since i have nearly no extra money at the moment, we ask if you, the mediocre nation, can help us out and donate some money to help us buy the gear we need. You have all been so supportive over the years, and now is when we actually need the help, it kills me to even ask, but my hands are tied right now.

Again, thank you for the support for the last 3 years, and i hope we can continue for many more.

To make a donation, click the paypal link and enter any amount you wish.

Thanks,

Eric Tomorrow

12/10/07: The Mediocre Show Joins Cringe Humor Radio

The Mediocre Show Joins Cringe Humor RadioNew York, NY - October 16, 2007 – Cringe Humor Entertainment is pleased to announce that two programs will be joining their already strong line up of shows on the Cringe Humor Radio Network. The Mediocre Show and the Comical Radio Show will begin their first week at Cringe Humor starting on the Wednesday, October 17 at 9 PM when the wildly popular Mediocre Show officially turns to the live talk format.
"It is with great pleasure that we can bring these shows live on our network to fans of the shows and the station," says Cringe Humor founder, Patrick Milligan. "Anytime you can add one of the most popular podcasts in the world to a talented lineup of programs it is a no brainer for us."
The Mediocre Show has experienced great success as a podcast for over two years. Currently ranked number 3 in the iTunes comedy category, the show has accumulated a legion of fans and has been featured in Maxim magazine. Now that they've conquered the podcasting world, they'll look to do the same with live internet talk radio.
"The Mediocre Show sounded like a good idea over 2 years ago, now that we have over 110 episodes, we are starting to rethink that," says Eric Tomorrow, the show's creator and host. "However, we have gone too far to turn back. The next logical step is to join forces with Cringe Humor Radio and blow the doors off fake talk radio."
The Mediocre Show will be bringing it's own brand of laid back talk, and sarcastic humor to Cringe Humor Radio every Wednesday at 9 PM EST. "We look forward to interacting with fans live every week, instead of waiting for the voicemails to roll in."
For years Comical Radio has entertained comedy fans while with New York's 87.9 FM, The Biz, a student run radio station at Baruch College. Host Danny Lobell has worked as a comedian since he was 16. The show features fellow comedians Chris Iacono, Katy Olsen and David Kasten. Each week the show talks about the world of comedy with some of the biggest names in the business. On Friday, October 12, Comical gave us a sneak peak into their world with guests Sussie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and the legendary Pat Cooper.
"After breaking bread with Danny and playing ping pong at a computer store for about a half hour I now realize that he can talk to pretty much anyone," says Cringe Humor Radio program director Cris Italia. "That makes him fearless on the radio and that's what we love about his style."
You can catch Comical Radio as they make their official Cringe Humor Debut on Friday, October 19 at 1 PM.
