The Woot Wadio Podcast

LexPendragon thought this was worth mentioning said Tue, Aug 20th 2019 at 12:36pm ET

A long time ago, I lost my MP3 collection. Through random happenstance, I retained a directory listing of all of my music and I have been slowly rebuilding it. I just got to the Ws, and I had a handful of Woot mp3s I enjoyed, specifically the Woot-Off song, the Worst Woot Ever Anthem, and the Projecting song.

I found the Woot-Off song, but I have had no luck with the other two. Any chance anyone here can point me to them?

I wasn’t around during Woot’s good old days. Thanks for the song!

- @sammydog01 Back then, woot sponsored radio programs and only sold things via catalogs and phone orders.

  6 to 8 months. For some of us.
  
  But only if you lived in DFW and got the “special service”.

Not one of the ones you want, but a quick check of my old mp3 folders found the Happy Hour theme from 2010, just barely pre-acquisition iirc. https://upload.cat/c5aa8ed91d46d673

What was that site where you logged in to be a DJ, and there was a Woot room where we played 5 songs related to the theme of the day and then got off the stage to let someone else have a chance? I’ve been trying to remember the name.

- @mml666 I was never in the woot room, but was it turntable.fm?

You could always ask @matthew if he retains any of that material.

Also, this great blog post, WootCasts from the Past.
