One time Cat massacred a tofurkey live on air and people didn't realize it wasn't ever alive. Oopsiedoodle. Every year we'd get requests for Darwin's story about how he got a 22 pound turkey stuck on his arm. This became a tradition. One year we prank called the "Butterball Hotline" for help. Enjoy this vintage audio from the Darwin and Cat Radio Show originally broadcast in November 2007. Happy Thanksgiving!

What starts out as a good idea to help out around the holidays quickly morphs into a two week saga with Darwin and Cat living in an RV with no food, no heat, and no prospects for survival. Okay, maybe that last one is a bit dramatic. Or is it? Also find out why they'd (mostly) do it again.

In this episode Darwin and Cat take on the role of Toto to pull back the curtain on what happens behind the scenes at a radio station. It's magical, scary (listener loaf), mysterious, and everyone is broke. Plus you can hear how Darwin and Cat's faces end up melted on the side of a highway, and learn exactly how thick Woody Allen is. Because you know you want to know.

Darwin and Cat were proud to not be the poop and fart morning show, but somehow those two topics always found their way to D&C. Sure, poop and farts are funny but not when your desks are outside the bathroom like D&C. Nor when you get sent to a mountaintop to find a virgin toilet for people to put their face in.

Darwin and Cat were always being signed up for bad promotions. Rarely D&C were asked for their thoughts. Usually someone just signed them up to do things. There were booze cruises that made listeners want to jump off the boat (and they did). Other times, against their better judgment, D&C found themselves at the county fair. Then were was an assignment at Walmart. Camping happened too, somehow.

Darwin and Cat (okay, mostly Darwin) are not getting used to the early hours for the morning show. Also, they're still living in Vermont well over an hour away from the studios and have to get up extra early. Sleep deprived, over booked with events to promote the show, and mildly delusional, they resort to sophomoric prank calls to amuse themselves. Everything goes sideways when they accidentally get kicked off of public television. Embarrassing.

This is the story of the Darwin and Cat Radio Show: how they met at WEQX, began one of the first podcasts ever (back when podcasts were new), and landed a morning show at WZMR. In the beginning, when Marconi transmitted sound, he never meant for this to happen.

The Most Famous Mid-Market Show You’ve Never Heard is Back - the Darwin and Cat Radio Show, minus the radio part.

This is the story of our show - a behind the scenes look at morning radio in the late '00s.

Yes, a show about a show.

Coming to you in fall 2024.
