Well folks, after 4 and  half years - this may very well be the last episode of this show.  

While we love doing it for you, the fact that both hosts are tied up with a multitude of other projects has made this one difficult to keep up with.  Donnie and Tid are planning to regroup and potentially revamp this thing, but for now, we want to say thanks for sticking with us all these years. But before we go, here's one more episode with...

The Godfathers Of Podcasting are back with perhaps our most unique episode ever... because this week's guest ... can't talk.  He was born with Cerebral Palsy, and has always been non verbal - but that didn't stop him from becoming one of the most in-demand comedians on the scene today (thanks in large part to his ability to quickly feed Siri with whatever it is he wants to say).

If this sounds familiar, it's probably because you've ...

The Godfathers Of Podcasting are back with another super fun episode!  This week Donnie and Tid are joined by stand up comedian Kyle Lucey.  Kyle is a Canadian who's been making a splash on the scene and is currently on a long European tour.  He's got a very dark brand of humor, and doesn't shy away from sharing difficult even shares a true story about the time his mother wanted to sleep with him! 

This is a great tale of a kid who ...

This is a very, very unique episode!  Chris Tidwell was unavailable this week as he had a separate gig to tend to, so Donnie decided to try and find a guest co-host.  The person he found has been a guest on this show 3 times before, is a reality tv star and fitness icon - Christmas Abbott!

In her role as co-host, Christmas decided to book a guest, so she pulled her long time friend from Season 19 of Big Brother - the man who WON Sea...

Donnie may have peed his pants from laughing so hard during this week's episode.  He and Tid are joined by their pal - award winning filmmaker and comedian Joey Medina.  Joey was on the road, getting ready for a show in San Diego, and unfortunately, his wifi was pretty awful.  As a result, we got a little out of him, but his signal kept dropping out at the weirdest moments, and it entertained us to no end.

There was a time we probab...

This week's guest is a very different one for The Godfathers Of Podcasting!  He's not a pro athlete or comedian or musician or even an actor.  He's a doctor.  But not just ANY doctor ... he's a veterinarian that has his own clinic in Toronto, and travels the world saving animals everywhere.  His name is Dr Cliff Redford, and he's made appearances on many news programs, talk shows and now he's here with The Godfathers.

This week's guest is a retired professional basketball play, currently a university head coach, marketing genius and actor - but over the last few weeks has become an absolutely reality tv superstar in the UK!

This week's episode is going to go down as a favorite of Donnie and Tid's!  The guest is someone Donnie has a LOT of history with - going all the way back to high school!  His name is Ash Buchholz, and he's absolutely fascinating!

Ash found fame as the front man for the wildly popular alternative rock band USS - but his story is so much more robust than that.  In this exclusive interview (Ash has never been on a podcast before, and ...

The Godfathers are back with another crazy episode.  This week they're joined by award winning music journalist, and President of the "No Donnies" club, Miss Karen Bliss.

Donnie, Tid and Karen have all known each other since the late 90s, and as you'd expect - the roasting just doesn't stop! 

Last Summer, Karen released an article that she worked on for 2 years exposing a music industry executive who had sexually assaulted multiple ...
