On every weekday, at the same time as products are announced, Woot.com also publishes a podcast. This podcast briefly describes the item up for sale, and features an often-humorous song or skit relating to the product up for sale. These podcasts are recorded by Matthew Shultz.
There are several “special” podcast songs/skits that recur periodically. These include:
Occasionally, instead of the usual song or skit, the podcast features a “Podcast Mailbag” segment, where Matthew reads and replies to a piece of e-mail submitted to Woot.com. Both the listener’s mail itself as well as Matthew’s reply to it are often humorous and/or sarcastic in nature. These readings are accompanied by a piano melody, and always end with the phrase: “E-mails not answered on the air will probably not be answered at all; therefore, if you have an emergency, do not e-mail podcast@woot.com; instead, dial 9-1-1.”
A semi-periodic woot podcast where the podcast team “squish” together various soundclips so they are not to be readily identifiable. Then there is a competition to correctly identify each clip and what they all have in common. The winner gets a prize which is a heartfelt congratulation and a prize of no monetary value.
On days when Bags of Crap are being sold, the podcast features a “Bag of Crap” theme song.
While a Woot-off is running, a podcast featuring the “Woot-off Song” is run.
Whenever a heart related product is sold (blood pressure or heart rate monitor, etc.) the song features a thump-THUMP rhythm and is sung in a recurring style.
Whenever a product related to the Bluetooth wireless technology is sold (Bluetooth USB adapters, cell phone headsets, etc.), a special song is featured. Sung by the crew of a pirate ship, this song tells the tale of “Bluetooth, the most fearsome pirate on the [Seven Seas” and his many nefarious deeds. During the middle part of these songs, a lone voice of dissent among the crew speaks out, complaining that Bluetooth is a technology, and has nothing to do with pirates. The Captain always come back with a smart rebuke.
