Uncle Jay Explains The News » Podcast Feed

It's still April, except on TV.  May Sweeps started last week!  Ratings stunts are everywhere, even on the news!  Uncle Jay explains it all while he gets married, has a baby, welcomes guest Michelle Obama, changes jobs and dies.

Happy Easter, Passover, Earth Day, Patriots' Day, Take Your Kid To Work Day, Record Store Day and Happy If You Feel Like A Room Without A Roof Day!  Somewhere in all of that there MUST have been some actual news ... and Uncle Jay explains it!

This year had so much melodic news that Uncle Jay couldn’t fit it all in.   But hey, you can get the EXTENDED EPISODE on this year’s 2011 DVD, available on Uncle Jay’s website. Thanks for being Uncle Jay’s job creator!

Here's even more stuff from the episodes of 2011, stuff that'll be on this year's DVD.   Uncle Jay has been so busy preparing the SINGING YEAR IN REVIEW that he's missed all the news!   Is Herman Cain still running strong?  How's Penn State's football season going?  Uncle Jay will catch up soon!

As Uncle Jay prepares his Singing Year in Review for inclusion on the 2011 DVD collection, here's a taste of what else is on this year's compilation.   Yes, there are fewer episodes this year; just think of it as Uncle Jay's NBA tribute.

Uncle Jay occupies this brief episode to remind you about the year's most popular episode: the Singing Year in Review!  Yes, it WILL appear about a week before Christmas!   Uncle Jay uses the rest of this episode suggesting you join in the spirit of giving.  To him.

Uncle Jay finally comes clean about his truancy!

Has America REALLY changed since that day in 2001?   Or has it been more like the word "change" was tossed around in 2008?  And has Obama changed since then?  Uncle Jay explains!

How crazy a week was it?   The earth shook!  The sky swirled!  The waves crashed!  And Beyonce is pregnant!  Uncle Jay, um, explains?

Mideast violence!  The stock market!  The economy!   Politics!  How can the media allow stupid stuff like this to get in the way of Kim Kardashian's wedding coverage?  Uncle Jay explains!

Uncle Jay is back from vacation!  He completely ignored all of the summer's news, so this week he tries to guess what happened.  Did he do better than you?  The media?  Your goldfish?
