SO WHO ARE DON TONY and KEVIN CASTLE?Don Tony: Italian in his 40’s, former Cugine and Guido, still enjoys Disco, Classic Freestyle, House, & Techno Dance Music. Resides in Howard Beach Queens NY, home of many infamous Capos and Buttons. Ventured into Indy Wrestling as a manager for a hot second. His all time favorite movie is Goodfellas, enjoys a nice glass of Red Wine with his Linguini Aglio e Olio, and has been Politically Incorrect way before being Politically Incorrect became cool again.
Kevin Castle: Italian, 50, heavily inked (tatooed), has worked in the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music industry for decades. Resides in Queens NY, and was brought up part of a Military family. He favors classic Horror & Slasher flicks, enjoys Yoo-Hoo, and considers himself Politically Independent.
So what do these two have in common? Well, actually not much other than they’ve been life long wrestling fans. And even that has them at opposite ends. Growing up, Don Tony favored WWF and ECW, while Kevin Castle favored Florida Championship Wrestling, World Class, and NWA.
Since 1999, Anthony " Don Tony" DeBlasi turned a hobby running a wrestling hotline for thousands, into podcasts that now generate millions of downloads annually. DT's podcasts go back to as early as 2003 when podcasting was still in its infancy. KC joined the podcasting world about ten years ago.Despite tremendous change that has occurred in the world in recent years, Don Tony and Kevin Castle have adapted and persevered all the while entertaining hundreds of thousands of listeners with their deep insights, and witty "New Yawk" banter.
The ‘Don Tony And Kevin Castle Show’ is an extremely opinionated show that is very outspoken. And while it may be classified as a ‘Wrestling Show’, it is far more than that. Politics, Sports, News, and Pop Culture are often discussed and debated.In the Summer of 2016, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Don Tony and Kevin Castle one of top wrestling podcasts in the world alongside superstars such as 'The Steve Austin Show', 'Talk Is Jericho', 'The Taz Show', 'The Ross Report', and others!
I've worked with the DTKC Show since its beginning and I've loved every minute of it. This show is so much more than just a couple of guys analyzing and commenting on the current state of "Sports Entertainment" and beyond. These two men share their life experiences along side a community of strong minded and strong willed fans.
There is an active community of thousands worldwide that regularly stay up every Monday night after WWE RAW just to listen to the DTKC Show LIVE. Whether just shooting the sh**, sharing a couple laughs, picking apart the week in pro wrestling and more, everyone gets together and enjoys themselves w/ DTKC leading the way. Don Tony And Kevin Castle is a global phenomenon with a dedicated audience that spans over 46 countries.
Regularly the Don Tony and Kevin Castle Show is one of the top wrestling shows
on all different mediums from Stitcher to iTunes. However, the Don Tony
And Kevin Castle Show still remains the only Wrestling Themed Podcast to be
ranked #1 against any show on Stitcher! That's over 20,000 shows!
The Don Tony & Kevin Castle Show is what good podcasts should strive to be.
The DTKC Show is now experiencing it's biggest audiences ever. And as a special thank you to our great Patreon family, we are happy to provide you podcasts that are EXCLUSIVE to you! As this page grows, expect more exclusive content to be released right here on Patreon!
'BREAKFAST SOUP' is hosted by Don Tony and myself (Missionary). And for those that always wanted a Kevin Castle solo show, you now have it in 'THE CASTLE CHRONICLES'. Both shows are available EXCLUSIVE for our Patreon family!
For those that want to gain access to these shows, get interractive with DTKC and Mish, or even possibly co-host a show with the crew, check out the 'reward tiers' on the right of this Patreon Page for details!
Don Tony's solo show, 'Breakfast With Blasi', remains free to our entire listening audience. However, Don Tony records exclusive content ONLY available to our Patreon family. From Wrestling to Politics. Baseball to Pop Culture. Blah Blah Blah is a very unique show hosted by the Politically Incorrect Don Tony.
Opportunities and rewards are available to those contributors who wish to be a physical part of the show, not to mention the additional content that will be added over time to the site and the show. Patreon is a step forward. All this great new content is available exclusive to our great Patreon contributors. However I want to stress again that in no way does this change the status of the flagship shows: 'Don Tony And Kevin Castle Show' and 'Breakfast With Blasi'. And thanks to you, both shows will remain free and are available for our entire listening audience.
The launch of this Patreon page and the new exclusive content is a step forward towards giving back to a show that has been part of our lives
for so long and is now evolving to give us even more.
The show's just starting folks.
It only gets better from here.
See you in the chatroom!

A Message From Don Tony.....
Some brief history. Ive been podcasting since 2005. And prior to '05, I hosted one of the most popular pro wrestling hotlines from 1999 to 2004. In 2000, I launched wrestling-news.com that is still going today. And during that span of over 17 years, the hotline, podcasts, and website were free for everyone.
The success of 'The Don Tony And Kevin Castle Show' and 'Breakfast With Blasi' has now come with an expensive price. When you go from a few hundred listeners in 2005 to hundreds of thousands today, expenses have increased substantially.
The expense of hosting and streaming the shows and site, servers & equipment, paying taxes (yes we have to pay IRS), insurance and more are quite high.
I had suggested going subscription based. Pay a few $$$ monthly for access to the shows. And despite giving everything for free for 17+ years, subscription based was met with overwhelming negativity. Many said that paying anything for the shows was out of bounds due to their personal expenses (Rent, food, utilities, insurance, car payment, family, etc). I totally respect that because I myself endure those very same bills. However many of those very same listeners felt it was OK for me to keep shelling out hundreds of dollars a month out of my own pocket despite having the same personal expenses as them. So after trying to avoid subscription based for everyone, or worse - canceling the shows, another option became available - Patreon.
Enter Patreon, and enter a very select group of supporters of our shows who really wanted to step up, give back, and contribute. That is why we launched this Patreon Page.
Now being here almost four months, I see that less than 1/2 of 1% of our listening audience have stepped up and joined our Patreon page. Your generosity and support here on Patreon is very special to us. It will never go ignored. And to show our appreciation to you, we have launched new content, podcasts and cool giveaways that are available EXCLUSIVE to you our Patreon family. Plus we will be hosting monthly 'call-in' shows. I am constantly thinking of ways to make this page and the exclusive content to you even bigger and better.
For those that are subscribing to the new Patreon Only shows, I hope you enjoy them as much as we have recording them. Each week a new episode airs. The current schedule is to have 'The Castle Chronicles' air new episodes every 1st and 3rd week of each month. 'The Idearbox' will air new episodes every 2nd and 4th week of each month. If you subscribe to the shows, you get access to every episode that has taped to date. In addition, by popular demand, we are posting exclusively here on Patreon, Retro Masked Maniac episodes as well as Retro Blackhearts Hotline reports that go back 15+ years. And we'll continue monthly giveaways for our entire Patron family to win some cool stuff.
Whether its $1, $5, $10 etc, everyone's pledges help and is very much appreciated. Please, never feel embarassed if you can only contribute a $1 or $2. You'd be surprised how far that goes when many of our listeners do the same.
I am really excited to see how big we can make our Patreon family grow.
