The existing recordings are of extremely low quality. They were recorded on tapes that seem to have already had material on them, in a very noisy environment. They were almost certainly made in an impromptu manner while Carl sat in his van near a park or a busy road. Given Carl's limited understanding of technology, he had his friend [[Crazy Jose]] digitize the recordings for wider distribution. | |||

Both episodes of Uncle Carl's Radio Show were broadcast several times over a period of two weeks in Rockford, IL from a mobile pirate radio station that typically features underground hip hop programming. As of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, the operator of the station is still unknown and at large.

| | | Bird tells a story about being frustrated from being unable to find blank cassette tapes and heading to a flea market, then goes on a semi-racist tirade about buying tapes from a Mexican vendor, then laments that most pre-recorded audio is now stored on CDs. Then he details a story about considering buying a CD player at a garage sale but declining upon hearing the price. Carl then proceeds to expound a bit about his history as a mall Santa Claus. The show ends as Carl flees from the police due to not being allowed within 100 feet of a school. | ||
