VooDooRadio posted it’s first official show on January 16, 2006. The show was a lot shorter than what it became later on, and it was totally shitty in retrospect. But, not too many shows from this time period of podcasting were great to begin with so cut me some slack!
Format of the show
Originally, the show was going to be a showcase of independent artists locally and world wide with interviews and bizarre news thrown into it. The show had skits and bits created on the fly and some actually written. Some were hilarious, others not so good. Check the Bits page for more details.
Interviews
Interviews were sparse, but they were a little interesting. They were in order: (Detailed Information about the interviews will come later)
- Libertas
- Voltaire
- Noise626
All of this was done in the first year of the show. Other interviews were scheduled but never happened because the artists bailed.
The Music
The show kept the independent music as a staple to the show and we had many themed shows such as:
- Ladies Night – All artists fronted by a female singer
- Christmas Shows
- Halloween Shows
- Raptastically Nerdcore – All Nerdcore artists
- The The Show – All Artists with the word “The” in the beginning of their name
- All Covers
- VooDooAlphaPallooza – This was my last attempt at a continuous theme for the show which was going to be artists in Alphabetical order. I did 2 shows based on this theme and pretty much quit in the middle of doing the 3rd one which was never released.
We had over 300 artists showcased on the show over the years. Some songs were repeated of course, but that is par for the course.
Character Voices
There has been a few characters that were created as extra content for the show the characters were:
- Leroy the Jungle Bunny – First brought about with the racist cereal commercial called “Nigga Pops” which was an idea brought about from ITRadio. He became a recurring character after a while.
- HinduStevie - Now known as Achmed. He was introduced in a self made promo for Fresh Media Works. People loved the voice so he was brought back for a side story to Road Trip to Oblivion’s episode where they went after Adam “Crack Rock” Curry in an epic battle. He has come back many times into the show.
- EmoStevie – Now known as Travis. Was Brought in to basically just make fun of Emo Kids. Always crying. He was also put into the side story later on.
- HomoStevie – Now known as Peter Holdsteady. This character was brought about to add a gay character to the mix. He basically was to make the rest of the crew feel uneasy with homophobia.
- SpecialStevie – Now known as George. He was the mentally challenged character of the group. Sometimes was used as comic relied. Ok a lot of times.
- The Dark Lord – This character was brought around after we did the Oblivion side story. He originally was brought about as the reason why the show actually started, but eventually became just a pain in the ass that did nothing but try to take over the show after VooDooStevie lost his way with the show.
After a while the characters were actually co-hosts and appeared all together as cohosts for the show. We had fun with these guys, but it has come time to retire them for now.
Live Shows
The show had a few live shows for a while over the years. We broadcasted on Stickam, uStream and Live Stream (formerly Mogulous). After a while the show went back to pre-recorded because there was much more that could be done in a pre-recorded enviroment. Such as multiple characters giving the illusion of more than one host.
The show will be returning to it’s live recording again in the near future.
