It’s impossible to tell you the story of RONCO without also bringing you the story of its founder and pitch-man-in-chief, Ron Popeil. You may remember Ron as recently as the 2000s selling kitchen gadgets on tv, but his more amusing products stem from the 1980s,70s and from Ronco’s founding in the 1960s. But to really po-peel back the curtain on the iconic RONCO and the man who started it all, Ron Popeil, we need to go back farther! MUCH FARTHER! The year: 1935. A little jewish boy named Ronald Milton Popeil was brought kicking and screaming into a world of many wonders to a mother named Julia and a father named Samuel Popeil who was an inventor and manufacturer of household products. Not much is known about the early life of Ronald Milton except that his parents divorced at a very young age and he went to live with his grandparents in Florida because… that's where grandparents live. Samuel Popeil But in 1952 at the age of 17, Ronald went to work at his father Samuel and Uncle Raymond's manufacturing facility, Popeil Brothers in Chicago, Illinois selling kitchen gadgets in the street markets. He was a natural and claims to have made over a $1000 per week before heading off to college for a whirlwind 6 months of higher education at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, paid for by his sales earnings but quickly ditched college to go back to earning money with the Popeil Brothers marketing his father’s inventions The Chop-O-Matic, the Veg-O-Matic and the Dial-O-Matic. That's right! In fact, many of the most iconic and soon-to-be Ronco products were actually invented by Ron's father Samuel and already had millions of sales before Ronco was ever even conceived! But the products had a problem! In order for salesmen to conduct their demonstrations, because the products were so efficient at what they did, they had to carry around an obscene amount of vegetables everywhere they went! So Ron’s big solution was to film the products in action and broadcast it to the world as television commercials which were surprisingly more cost effective than anyone in the Popeil Brothers company ever imagined! POCKET FISHERMAN In 1963, the senior Popeil, Samuel knocked it out of the park again and straight into the rivers, lakes, ponds, streams and seas (if you're bold enough) inventing the one and only POCKET FISHERMAN! Samuel thought up the concept for the Pocket Fisherman after almost putting his eye out with the end of a full-sized fishing pole. This was instead, a fishing pole you could put in your pocket (unless you're wearing skinny jeans). Inside the handle was a miniature tackle box including hooks, lines and sinkers! You can still buy the Pocket Fisherman today at Ronco.com and the modern version can even extend to become a full-sized fishing pole! BIRTH OF RONCO! Success Out of the Gate! Mel Korey, co-founder of Ronco Ron continued working for his father until the mid-1960's when he decided to branch out on his own along with a brilliant friend he met during his brief stint in college, Mel Korey and establish the now-historic company known as RONCO in 1964. He continued to distribute his father's products but also brought on goods from other manufacturers like the Ronco Spray Gun. This was a nozzle that turned an ordinary garden hose into a high pressure spray gun which also incorporated various tablets for different purposes like soap for washing surfaces, wax for your car and insecticides and herbicides for insect and weed control. The genius behind the product was that once the consumer purchased the nozzle, they would continue to come back and spend money for the consumable tablets long after the initial sale. With the help of some late-night television commercials, guaranteed-sale promise to the retailers (meaning Ronco agreed to buy back any merchandise that didn't sale) and “trade support marketing” meaning that the retailers would receive the added promotional benefit of having their store listed in the television ads, the Ronco Spray Gun sold almost 1 million units within 4 years. An undeniable success right out of the gate! RONCO GETS HOSED! For the first decade of Ronco's existence, the company did not offer a single product over $20 and the vast majority were under $10. This was their niche in the marketplace. But over half their revenue in the late 60s didn't come from a kitchen gadget or any sort of quirky novelty item, but instead came from pantyhose of all things! London Aire Hosiery to be exact, with Ron Popeil himself on late night tv commercials doing what he did best, conducting a master class in salesmanship! You see, these pantyhose were guaranteed in writing not to run. So Ron put them to the test with a scouring pad, nail file, scissors and a lit cigarette to prove that these pantyhose would indeed not run! This increased Ronco's gross sales in 1969 to over $14 million! RONCO GOES PUBLIC! In 1969 Ronco decided to go public under the moniker of Ronco Teleproducts selling 22 percent of its shares for $5.5 million. The following year they raised an additional ¾ of a million dollars selling even more shares on the American Stock Exchange. THEN CAME THE 70s! The 1970s and 80s are largely considered to be Ronco's heyday and with good reason. This is the era in which they were firmly sewn into the fabric of American pop culture with their unique and never-ending parade of quirky as-seen-on-tv gadgets! Like the Miracle Broom, Miracle Brush, Glass Froster, The Roller Measure, the Salad Spinner and a whole lot more! BUT THE DECADE ACTUALLY STARTED WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF HIT! MURDER FOR HIRE! 1972 included an absolutely bizarre occurrence in the world of the Popeil family but unfortunately, this was neither cool, quirky nor amusing in any way! Samuel Popeil's estranged wife, Eloise (not Ron's mother) whom had separated from him in 1965 had run off to California, met a new boyfriend, Dan Ayers and together they attempted to put a hit out on Samuel offering tens of thousands of dollars to two of Mr. Ayers' coworkers who ultimately got cold feet, went to Samuel Popeil himself and divulged the murder-for-hire plot to him. This resulted in the arrest and conviction of both Dan and Eloise who were sentenced to just one to five years in prison. Eloise ended up serving only 19 months, was awarded a quarter of a million dollar divorce settlement in 1976 and then even more bizarrely Samuel and Eloise remarried several years later (this according to an article by the Daily Pilot.) SMOKELESS ASHTRAY! Ron’s first invention! 1974 found Ron Popeil keeping himself busy with an invention of his own: The Smokeless Ashtray. This was an ashtray with a built-in vacuum that would suck smoke in, route it through a charcoal filter and exhaust out clean(er) air. Then you had the Inside-the-Shell Egg Scrambler which featured a slightly bent pointed pin on a base that you would insert into the bottom of a whole egg through the shell. The pin would then spin inside the egg, whisking the contents. MR. MICROPHONE AMPLIFIES AMERICA! In 1978 Mr. Microphone was unleashed upon the world allowing anybody to amplify their voice over a common radio. The tv commercial became a pop culture mainstay and even featured Ron's daughter in a car full of hooligans using Mr. Microphone to cat call women on the street as they drove by broadcasting over their car radio. It was a very different time! And the kitschy, quirky products rained from Ronco practically nonstop during this era with the Bottle and Jar Cutter, Rhinestone and Stud Setter, The Record Vacuum where you would place a vinyl record into a slot and this device would spin it while brushing the dust and supposedly static from it. Personally I would NEVER put one of my records into this thing! RONCO RECORDS And speaking of records! Ronco also went wild with their own record label releasing mainly compilations of hit songs giving K-Tel a run for their money! With all this combined by the time 1980 rolled around, Ronco's gross sales had reached almost $37 million! But then Ronco made a fatal mistake with the release of the Clean-Aire Machine. This was basically the Smokeless Ashtray on steroids and was one of the early home air cleaners on the market. I say “one of” because there were others with similar products such as Remington and Norelco whom Ronco vastly underestimated. Simultaneously they grossly overmanufactured for the 1983 Christmas season and got burned by the retailers on their “guaranteed sale” policy forcing them to buy back over two thirds of the inventory they placed into stores. RONCO DECLARES BANKRUPTCY! It was also during this time, the price of television commercials sharply rose and to make matters worse a $15 million line of revolving credit was called in by Ronco's bank forcing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy which soon turned into a Chapter 7 and Ronco was 86'd right out of business practically overnight. BUT RON! (who did not declare personal bankruptcy himself) repurchased the inventory from the bank and continued under a new partnership agreement with one of Ronco's top salesmen, Malcolm Sherman. Together they focused on selling off the inventory of the Clean-Aire Machine and the Electric Food Dehydrator before parting ways in the late 80s. Sherman received full rights to the Clean-Aire Machine while Ron took over Ronco once again along with full ownership of the Electric Food Dehydrator. And by taking over, I mean he slipped into semi-retirement for the remainder of the 80s going back to his roots and demonstrating products at street markets once again. AGE OF THE INFOMERCIAL! Fast forward to 1991: Ron Popeil got the television bug once again signing an agreement with the USA Direct Shopping Channel owned by Fingerhut where he would go on to sell 200,000 of his Electric Food Dehydrators. It was the new age of the infomercial and Mr. Popeil was once again right there in his element which set the stage for his new company, Ronco Inventions. He also had a new line of products like the absolutely weird Spray-On Hair (GLH Formula #9 Hair System) which I desperately tried to find for this episode to no avail as it was discontinued long ago. I was seriously going to have someone spray hair onto my head. It would have been amazing! The other products during this time were the wildly successful Automatic Pasta Maker which spawned a flurry of patent lawsuits but ultimately Ronco Inventions was allowed to continue selling it. AUTOBIOGRAPHY In 1995, Ron Popeil at 60 years old, released his autobiography “Salesman of the Century” which he toured the United State promoting. SHOWTIME ROTISSERIE AND BARBECUE OVEN! Then came what was to be pretty much Ronco Inventions' last big hit in 1998: The Showtime Rotisserie and Barbeque Oven selling more than 2.5 million units for a total of over $400 million by the year 2001. SALE OF RONCO In 2018, Ron Popeil decided it was finally time to put his beloved Ronco under new stewardship and sold the company to Fi-Tek VII, Inc. for a whopping $55 million. The new ownership promptly changed the name of the company to Ronco Corp but Popeil remained involved as a consultant overseeing inventions and sales and continuing to personally promote products on television. DEATH OF RON POPEIL Sadly on July 28, 2021, Master Marketer of the Century Ron Popeil passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. No cause of death was officially given but secondary family members reportedly stated that he had been admitted to the hospital a day earlier with a brain hemorrhage. He was 86 years old and left behind a legacy of American cultural influence on a level that very few could ever hope to achieve. Mr. Ron Popeil, the DANDY FUN HOUSE SALUTES YOU!

Welcome to the Sonic Collective, a music podcast that explores a different album or musical concept each month, diving deep into its history, context, and impact on the music industry. Join hosts Alain DuPuis, Scott Coates and Darren Scott, along with Scott Gregory, as they share their thoughts, insights, and personal connections to the music, inviting listeners to discover new perspectives and appreciation for some of the greatest albums of all time. Darren Scott reminisces about compilation albums and the group's original rule against reviewing compilations or best-of albums, but acknowledges exceptions. The podcast delves into the history of compilation albums, particularly those from K-Tel Records, founded in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1962 by Philip Kives. Kives became renowned for compilation albums featuring diverse hits across various genres. He started the infomercial craze in 1962 and applied direct marketing to music, leading to the popularity of compilation albums in the 70s and 80s. Darren shares his memories of compilation albums from his childhood, particularly the album "Full Tilt," a Canadian release with a U.S. version that differed significantly. He explains the Canadian content law that required a percentage of music played on the radio to be Canadian, which helped the Canadian music industry grow. The members discuss their experiences with compilation albums, highlighting the diversity of genres and artists featured. They mention standout tracks like Diana Ross's "Upside Down," Kenny Loggins's "I'm All Right," and the Irish Rovers' "Wasn't That a Party." They also touch on the influence of British culture on Canadian music and the eclectic mix of songs on the album. The podcast concludes with a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of compilation albums, their nostalgic value, and their role as time capsules of popular music. The hosts share their ratings for the album "Full Tilt" and introduce the next album for review, "Hit Express."

Nagygyörgy Miklós, az Apa+én program megálmodója és alapítója évek óta azon dolgozik, hogy az apák és gyermekeik között a kötelék még erősebbé váljon. Egy kezdeményezés, ami túlmutat a klasszikus apa-gyermek programokon: kaland, felfedezés, közös nevetés és kihívások, amelyek örökre megmaradnak. Mi történik amikor egy apa és a gyermeke együtt vág bele egy titkos küldetésbe? Hogyan válhat egy hétvége varázslóiskolává, lovagi próbává vagy épp egy túlélőtúrává, amely során a résztvevők nemcsak sárosak lesznek és békákat forgatnak, hanem valami sokkal fontosabbat is megtapasztalnak: az együtt töltött idő pótolhatatlan erejét. A Miklós által képviselt küldetés középpontjában korántsem egy hétköznapi program áll. Nem arról szól, hogy elvisszük a gyereket egy játszótérre, majd ránézünk a telefonunkra. Itt a résztvevők együtt küzdenek meg az ezerfejű sárkánnyal, együtt indulnak el a lakatlan szigetre, együtt sütnek, kísérleteznek és élik át azokat a pillanatokat, amelyek egy életen át megmaradnak. Egyetlen hétvége alatt a közös kalandok révén mélyebb kapcsolat születik, az apák újra felfedezik a gyermekeiket, a gyerekek pedig olyan bizalmat és támogatást kapnak, ami az önbizalmukat is erősíti.Olyan közös kihívások és élmények ezek, amelyekről egy életen át mesélni fognak. Titkos küldetések, természetjárás, kísérletezés, tábortűz és az elmaradhatatlan esti „taktikai értekezletek” – mert a kalandok mellett a szülői lét nagy kérdéseiről is fontos beszélgetni. Hogyan született meg az ötlet, és milyen visszajelzéseket kapnak az édesapák és a résztvevő gyerekek? És mit gondolnak erről az anyák?

This time we are going all the way back to 1988 to find out what goes into making pizzas at Pizza Hut. Special drinking game: Have a drink every time someone says their slogan from the time 'Makin' It Great.' Long before playlists, mix cd's, or even mixtapes, there was a way to listen to multiple popular songs on the same piece of media. In the 1970s and 1980s compilation albums were the in thing and the company that brought them to you was K-Tel Records. We go way Back In the Day to reminisce about the innovative K-Tel compilations. This week's Top 5 is sure to make you hungry. So many cereals, so few mornings. Though some cereals have become synonymous with breakfast over the last century even more have come along and faded away just as quickly. We will be looking at some of the discontinued cereals that might be due for a comeback.Of course, there is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the groundbreaking 1994 digital music download event featuring Aerosmith and CompuServe.For more great content become a subscriber on Patreon!Helpful Links from this EpisodeThe Lady of the Dunes.comPurchase My New Book Cape Cod Beyond the Beach!In My Footsteps: A Cape Cod Travel Guide(2nd Edition)Hooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comWear Your Wish.com - Clothing, Accessories, and moreDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogShelter of the Monument Book - Yvonne DeSousa.comPizza Hut Training Video 1988K-Tel Classics YouTube ChannelListen to Episode 149 here Support the Show.

A lighhearted song about combat during the escalation of the Vietnam War? Sign me up! There's a LOT of Canadian connections with this tune, including the fact that, for copyright purposes, the band  recorded a version for the Canuck market called "Squeaky vs, The Black Knight", featuring a bucktoothed beaver with a gleam in his eye! We also play a 1970s cover by UK band Hotshots - and it's ... reggae? Doof großartig!!

It's like having The Beatles on Saturday's Mulligan Stew. But you can only have two. Do you want Ringo and Paul or George and John? Saturday our guests are Steven Page (BNL & Steven Page Trio) and Chris Murphy (Sloan). The other members of TCH are Moe Berg (Pursuit of Happiness) and Craig Northey (odds and SP Trio) Each leads his own group but they got together to sing covers of each other's music. Then the K-Tel idea came along. For younger music fans  – K-Tel albums were Canadian hits crammed into 8 tracks,  cassettes and albums. With garish labels that you couldn't miss in your local store or gasoline station.  Great hits – horrid packaging. Which is why the guys covered the best hits and copied the artwork. Steven makes the point that they loved these hits because they were Canadian.  They were ours. Our American friends had never heard these songs but to us they were Northern memories. They each take turns singing the lead vocal and back each other up. Covering hits by The Guess Who, Joni Mitchell, Paul Anka, April Wine, Bim (Roy Forbes), Lighthouse, Poppy Family etc. Complete interview on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the video version on the TerryDavidMulligan YouTube Channel

Episode 105 The 2023 US Open Tennis Soundscape Playlist This podcast comprises an amorphous blend of sounds of the US Open tennis championships, vintage recordings of tennis instructions, a little electronic music, and lots of audio processing. All the sounds of the US Open grounds were made by me and include crowds, the fountain in front of Arthur Ashe stadium (the largest tennis venue in the world), rain, grounds equipment, jet airplane flyovers, chair umpires delivering scores, and many tennis players hitting, playing, and practicing. Sounds of the tennis facility and players: Novak Djokovic, Varvara Lepchenko, Alexander Zverev, Andy Murray, Dan Evans, Kwiatkowski, Thai-Son, Stan Wawrinka, Matteo Berrettini, Taylor Fritz, Vasek Pospisil, Ilya Ivashka plus many other unidentified male and female players captured during my walks around the grounds. The ambience of various courts is also present, including Louis Armstrong stadium, the Grandstand, and a variety of outer courts. These all differ in the kind of containing structures, and range from the enclosed (Armstrong) to the wide open (outside courts). Vintage Instructional recordings used: Arthur Ashe, Learn Tennis (For Beginners & Advanced Players) (1974 Manhattan Recording Company). Vinyl, 12 ." Arthur Ashe teaches you Tennis. Comes with 8-page black/white instructional booklet. John Newcombe, Tennis With John Newcombe (1974 K-Tel). Limited Collectors Edition. Vinyl, 12 ." Narrator, unidentified. 12-Page Tennis tips Booklet Enclosed. Promotional item for Rawlings tennis products. Evonne Goolagong, Tennis Tips By Evonne Goolagong (1975 Fleetwood Records). Vinyl, 7", 33 ⅓ RPM. Narrated with questions by Bud Collins. Audio processing. I love repetition. Loops are kind of my happy place. I have created many textures around the loops from the vintage recordings, some more dense than others, some with added beats and electronically generated sound. I also did several treatments of audio tracks using MetaSynth CTX 1.2, the Effects Room, particularly the inertia and shuffler features. I also processed some sections of the soundscape in real-time using Virtual DJ and added it to the final mix. I have developed a technique for processing natural sounds and transforming them into drones. For this soundscape, I did this using the sounds of tennis balls being hit, which accounts for the loud pings that color the drone. There are two sections. They begin around 26:00 and 47:00 of the soundscape. The first is a single drone, the second comprises multiple drones created with different tonal centers and played simultaneously. While I curate the individual sounds and apply treatments separately, overall the mix is largely based on the chance encounters of different sounds across the soundscape. I generally decide on techniques to apply to given sections and then let the pieces fall where they may to see what happens. I auditioned numerous mixes for the podcast before deciding on this one. This is a mixdown of 33 tracks with over 131 individual sounds included in the mix, which also includes a composite track from Virtual DJ including manipulation of a half dozen tracks recorded in real-time. Opening background music: Sounds of tennis. Unidentified rally hitters, Stan Wawrinka drone sequence, Vasek Pospisil and Ilya Ivashka gameplay. Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. See my companion blog that I write for the Bob Moog Foundation. For additional notes, please see my blog, Noise and Notations.

You might remember a few episodes back when I teamed up with Mike Messner. He's the host of the Gordon Lightfoot appreciation podcast Carefree Highway Revisited. Well, Mike is back, and this time around we're talking about Lightfoot's first big American hit, "If You Could Read My Mind." I actually went looking around for the album that I'd first heard this song on, and it turned out that I was exactly correct about its title: This was a four-album box set that came out in 1973, so clearly the folks at Warner Brothers didn't have a lot of hope for the rest of the decade, musically. However, this is a pretty amazing collection. I don't think K-Tel ever put anything like this together. And it's a shame that A) it's never appeared in cassette or CD format; and B) it's not likely to be, considering the nightmare it's got to be to get the rights to them by now. (You can get it on 8-track tape if you're so motivated, according to Discogs.) At any rate, I've actually wanted to cover this song for a long while, but didn't really have enough material for an entire episode, so I was glad to have Mike along for  the ride this time around. Click here to support the show  via Patreon. As a reminder: Patrons of the show get a newsletter in their email box every Sunday, whether there's a new episode or not. So I've been keeping them apprised of what's been happening in the news and in my life. They've been following me through the "medical issue" that I alluded to early in this episode. And they'll be getting something extra-special in the next week or two. This show doesn't have a transcript except for the one provided by the Blubrry player.
