Brookhaven Underwriting Grants

This page is dedicated to the various Underwriting Grants (read as "fake commercials") I've made during the Brookhaven Chronicles' several-year run. Some of 'em are okay, though the earlier ones I think reveal that I was more or less a novice when I made them. Most of them are just downright awesome, though.
Why make fake commercials, you ask? Well, when I first started out in radio as a nervous young disc jockey on KBHU.FM (The Buzz), I learned really quick that it takes far more to make a good radio show than just the ability to talk into a microphone. My college radio career sucked. Really. I'm not at all the "think on your feet" type. So I started writing out my talksets. My show still sucked, but now, I was able to blame the crappy hipster music they played on the station rather than my own shortcomings. Isn't that nice?
Fast forward a year or two. I was no longer in college, so I no longer had a college radio show. I still loved audio production though, since I've got a ton of creativity and not really anything else to recommend me. I appeared on another college radio show, the Creepy Sleepy Show, hosted by Dan Henry Patterson and W. Dohq Stodden, and helped with the conceptualization and production process. And when I started my own podcast, I took a cue from their show, and made fake commercials to put into my own show, the Brookhaven Chronicles. The rest, as they say, is history. I enjoyed making them. Now it's time for you to enjoy listening to them.
TABLE OF CONTENTS:
1. The first Underwriting Grant I sat down and tried to make on my own with no assistance from people who knew the art better was, to put it bluntly, quite terrible, so I have omitted it from this list. Trust me, I did you a favor by not including that one. The rest of them are here, though.
