The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly)
The podcast that takes karaoke *exactly* as seriously as it should be taken.
Every episode, hosts Adam Wainwright and Ed Cunard discuss an aspect of karaoke or music and play a short round of trivia on that topic, where one of them challenges the other with five questions related to the topic, along with an Impossible Bonus question.
Then, they're joined by someone (karaoke hosts and singers, musicians, actors, comedians, authors) with a connection to that topic—and feature that guest singing karaoke when possible.
Each interview finishes with a quickfire game, where a very important question is asked: “If you could magically strike one song from every karaoke list ever, which song would you choose?"

About the Hosts
Adam Wainwright
Podcast Host
Much like the protagonist of "I've Been Everywhere," Adam Wainwright has, in fact, been pretty much everywhere--all across the US, Japan, Australia. And, if there's a place with karaoke in his whirlwind path, Adam has probably already sang karaoke there. Currently, he lives in Newark, NJ, making use of that sweet, sweet GI Bill to get some continuing education.
Gabe Cetra
Facebook Group Moderator
Episode 8 Guest and Esteemed Facebook Group Moderator Gabe Cetra is the unsung hero of the podcast, of backyard punk rock shows, and of two entirely too charming dogs. At some point, you may get to hear him play with Photo Joe and the Negatives if you are seeing gigs in the Pittsburgh area.
We just fucking love Gabe, man.
Ben Dumm
Musician
Ben Dumm will have a real, grown-up bio soon, but he's real busy working on music (both for his personal projects and his professional ones). He graciously let us use his song "Gasoline" as our theme and bumper music. He's got lots of music to check out, and does commissions for commercial projects that require a music bed:
Current Music:
The Ben Dumm 3
Past Projects:
The Marauders
Ben Dumm and the Deviants
Ed Cunard
Podcast Co-Host
Co-host and chief researcher for the podcast, Ed Cunard comes by his catholic knowledge of all things music honestly--he's oddly two degrees of separation away from a lot of old school musicians through his grandparents. The biggest gap in his musical education is how to actually make music that doesn't sound awful. When not singing in bars, he works as Director of Operations for a sales company, which almost makes sense with all those English degrees he's still paying for. He lives in the middle of nowhere with nine cats and two dogs.
