In a December 2005 newsletter, John Flansburgh announced that the band was putting the finishing touches on the first episode of a brand new official podcast. A segment from the first episode, Turtle Songs Of North America, was made available for download on the Free Tunes page on tmbg.com before the actual podcast was released.

The podcast was then announced on TMBG.com:

"They Might Be Giants' very first podcast is available right now right here. This first episode is approximately 20 minutes long and features a number of exclusive recordings and some unusual tracks we suspect you'll find interesting. The host is the Duke of Dead Air- Cecil Portesque- broadcasting from an undisclosed, very rainy location. Future podcasts are already in the works. Please check it out, and we sincerely invite you to hip as many people you know about this show- especially you blogtopianists out there."

They later added some more information:

"WHAT MANY PEOPLE STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS' PODCASTS...
