Joined by Pearlie Fae & The Rusty Hinges, the gang relives the glory, chaos, and coffee-stained creativity that birthed every jingle from Hush, That’s Just the Wind to the brand-new Jingle 6. Between Hope’s dry narration, Pearlie’s smoky charm, Gigi’s harmonica squeals, and Fred and John’s constant interruptions, the episode slides between live banter and musical nostalgia. From goat songs to gnome ballads, it’s a celebration of all things Dusty Farts—part variety show, part train wreck, and entirely heartfelt. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – ever-confused booth philosopher, offering commentary no one requested • Fred (Farts) – snack-enthusiast and self-appointed jingle critic • Aria – waitress, emcee, and reluctant host wrangling chaos with caffeinated precision • Pearlie Fae – smoky-voiced songbird of Maple Grove, proud front-woman of The Rusty Hinges • Gigi – deadpan harmonica prodigy with timing sharper than Fred’s wit • Hope – narrator, part historian, part hostage to the nonsense Sound Stage • Archival clips of jingles weave through the episode—each introduced with loving sarcasm and small-town pride. Sound & Style Immersive stereo mix featuring live music transitions, harmonica licks, and banjo strums. Americana meets mockumentary as Hope’s narration anchors the chaos between jingles. The tone swings from warm nostalgia to unfiltered comedy — like a behind-the-scenes special that accidentally became a concert. For New Listeners This episode is a perfect entry point for anyone curious about the Dusty Farts soundtrack. You’ll hear snippets from earlier episodes and meet the band that keeps Maple Grove’s coffee cups rattlin’. Start here for the music — then go back for the madness. Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — with screen-reader wizardry, a microphone, and the courage to record over half a dozen harmonica solos.
