The Jerry Springer Podcast

The Jerry Springer Podcast

The Jerry Springer Podcast: Tales, Tunes and Tomfoolery is a weekly mix of comedy, liberal political talk and roots music performed by up and coming song writers and groups. Jerry is joined by Jene Galvin and Megan Hils as they compare their dissimilar lives, convo about events of the day and occasionally welcome a phone guest, some real and others you wonder. Like State Senator Tip Kemper, who recently proposed a literacy bill requiring citizens to read a book a month and submit a written report to the government at the post office. But in the middle of each episode, Jerry shows his serious side with a unique take on a current political or social issue drawing from his years as Cincinnati's mayor and top ranked news anchor. Performed before a small audience at the Folk School Coffee Parlor in Ludlow, Kentucky, The Jerry Springer Podcast is live streamed at jerrryspringer.com and Facebook Live and archived on the podcast's website and all major podcast apps. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Walker's Candidacy Is An Assault on Black Americans Dignity


We’ve been doing this show for years now, right? I had my people go back through the archives and tally up the number of times the word Trump was spoken. Let’s go around the table and see who can guess the number. If you are a Facebook live viewer right now, put your guess in the comment section.

Republicans Have No Moral Compass


Republicans will vote for any Republican regardless of moral character or competence. There are no lines they won't cross if what's at stake is the next election. Herschel Walker has no more business being a United States senator than a twelve year old in terms of ability and knowledge. Georgia's election shouldn't even be close. If you're a Republican, wouldn't this be a goo...

On this week's show Jerry can't figure out how to turn the sound off on his Iphone.


Jerry's commentary: Our institutions, indeed brilliant as they are drawn up, are no stronger than the character of the people who inhabit them. That’s why character matters. That’s why our democracy is in peril. That’s why the only remedy is we the people, we the voters; Voting as if democracy this November is on the ballot. It is!

What Would Jerry Do?


A Faustian bargain never ends well. Selling one’s soul for an earthly prize. So it won’t end well for Republicans who have sold their soul. That is any sense of honesty, morality, the Big Lie, to the extreme right wing empowered by Trump for a momentary victory in the primaries. A younger generation, indeed a multicultural one at that, is not likely to sign on what used to be a respected ...

Jerry's Baaaaack! 


Jerry talks about the passing of the queen and gets emotional talking about his extended family being exterminated by Nazis and his parents getting visas at the last second to escape into England. Which is where Jerry was born in a subway (or tube) that was being used as a bomb shelter.

We revisit the harrowing account of Jo Ann Staples, who survived a tragic bear accident in late August of 2008 in Gates of the Arctic National Park in remote northern Alaska. The story has four elements: the backpack trip and the grizzly bear attack, the dramatic rescue that eventually got her to the hospital in Fairbanks about 250 miles away, the ongoing treatments she’s still undergoing, and the lessons she’s learned.
