The first-ever Feel The Funk, Y'all podcast is here! I had all but given up hope of ever finding someplace that would allow me to host a 23-minute podcast online for free, when, thanks to Twitter, Omaha wedding photographer Lane Hickenbottom came to the rescue with some leftover space he wasn't using. So I guess I was wrong: There's probably no way to host a 23-minute podcast online for free--unless you have an exceptionally generous former co-worker who's willing to bail you out. Thanks, Lane!
This first podcast is essentially a "Get to know..." post in audio form (where it belongs) on Led Zeppelin. As you listen, you may think to yourself, "Between the boring host, occasional background fuzz and sloppy editing, I would rate this podcast somewhere between mediocre and downright horrid." And you might be right. But remember these facts, dear listener, as you issue your silent judgment:
1. I'm just producing these as a way to learn a skill that I'll probably find necessary at some point over the next several years. Public consumption isn't a primary aim.
2. In fact, I realized while editing this podcast that it may not be legal by copyright law, so I finished it not expecting to make it public at all. But my paper's web editor assured me that I'm probably on the right side of the law on this one, so I decided to throw it up there, haphazard production quality and all.
3. I have bigger plans for a few future podcasts. I still like the idea of more "Get to know ..." podcasts, but I also want to have guests so you can listen to someone more interesting than me.
4. Come on, it's my first try!
Enjoy.
Get to know ... Led Zeppelin

D'yer Mak'er is not pronounced "Jamaica", more like a heavily slurred "Did ya make her?" Its a pun on an old joke.
He is singing "Thank You" about his wife, actually, for putting up with his constant touring overseas.
And how dare you rip on "Hot Dog"! It isn't straight country, its more of a rockabilly, ELvis-inspired song- and it has a damn good groove!
Other than that, good podcast, you should do more of these.
Thanks for listening, Rory. Glad you liked it.
I didn't know that background info about "Thank You." You're right about "Hot Dog," too--it's a lot more rockabilly than country. That was a misclassification by me. As for a "damn good groove," well, I'm not going that far. :)
As for "D'yer Mak'er," I believe it has to pronounced something like "Jamaica" in order for the joke to work:
"My wife's gone to the Caribbean."
"Jamaica?"
"No, she chose to go."
