About the hosts

COREY

Corey Clayton is the co-host and co-creator of BUCKET.

BUCKET was created by former co-host Jen Flanigan and Corey Clayton in April 2006. The show was signed by Adam Curry’s Mevio (then PodShow) podcast network in December 2006.

The show was nominated for the 2007 Best Comedy Podcast award in the annual Podcast Awards competition.

The show lasted 58 episodes in its first incarnation, with seven additional all-music BUCKET Blast episodes and two online Second Life concerts, known as the “Nowhereville Concert Series“.

Corey is currently an online community manager for a Top 500 media Web site, a new media and social network specialist/evangelist, and newspaper industry refugee in the NYC Metro area.  He cheers religiously for his hometown Pittsburgh sports teams (not the Pirates … see link).

LOUIE DEE

Louie Dee is the co-host of the BUCKET podcast.

Often the liberal yin to Corey’s conservative yang, Lou doesn’t mind being his second banana – because, in Lou’s words, “people are too lazy to pick on the one in the back.”

Under his “government name,” Lou is the Editorial Director for a fundraising and marketing company by day and a freelance sports writer by night. But he’s no stranger to the airwaves, either; Lou is a frequent contributor to “The Sport Buffet with Matt West” on 1080-AM ESPN Radio Orlando as an NFL analyst, has a “highlight” reel of gigs from his stint as a child actor and may or may not have a sex tape, depending on how much money you have to offer him.

Otherwise, he’s your average American male. Lou is an ardent New York sports fan that somehow also roots for the Philadelphia Eagles, UNC Tar Heels and Florida Gators, quotes movie lines entirely too much and spends the rest of his unhealthy existence playing golf, softball or bar trivia.

Of course, Lou is a Gemini, which means there’s a whole other side to him, too…and when “Angry Lou” comes out to rant about something that’s not sitting right in his world, anything can happen.

We’re still not sure how the heck Lou and Corey co-exist – our only guess is corndogs.

Oh, yeah, and Lou also thinks monkeys = hilarity.
