Happy WZPL Anniversary To Me
VIDEO: Smiley Morning Show’s “Elf” On Stage
When will the Academy finally get around to giving me an acting award? Facebook friend Jeff Vest shot this video from the live-audience taping of “Elf.” We do a Christmas show live every year. This year’s version went on for about three days, but the clip is only a minute. to hear the entire Smiley […]
2012 Make A Wish Request-A-Thon
That’s a Request-A-Thon shot from (yikes) 5 years ago with Dallas Clark (who is returning next spring to Indy just to help with a Make A Wish event.) Time flies. This year is on a fast fade, huh? Already time to go to the tote board, and keep Dave Smiley from cursing around the Make […]
Indiana’s Weather For Tuesday
The sun stays strong today, and with high pressure docked in Pennsylvania, the wind flow returns to the south and we’ll put a few more temperature points on the board. High pressure has the upper hand until Friday. The best chance of showers and storms is Friday afternoon and evening. Deja vu all over? Not […]
Hold The Phone – I’m Speaking For Scotty’s!
The Scotty’s Brewhouse family of restaurants has hired me to be to their telephone voice. So if you hear someone vaguely familiar pushing this month’s special, you aren’t crazy. I like Scott, although (confidentially) I don’t get that whole burger-with-peanut-butter deal. BTW, it’s not the first media we’ve done together. (This clip is a bit […]
Me And Goober
I was browsing old picture files looking for Smiley Morning Show anniversary stuff, and stumbled across this. Who knew? I’d forgotten George Lindsay and I were both in the 2004 Martinsville Fall Foliage Parade. Good times. Nice shirt.
Who Else But The Weatherman?
Are you trying to guess the weather? Well, don’t even try! Leave it to “The Weatherman,” a triangular-shaped cartoon character from the 1950’s. If you listen to me on the Smiley Morning Show, you’ve heard some of the jingles on this video. The website Cartoon Brew did some digging and reports the cartoons were done […]
Indiana’s Weatherman Is Goin’ South
When I decided to go 100 percent free-lance two years ago I obviously couldn’t be “WXXX meteorologist Paul Poteet” anymore. I was going to have to live or die on my own weather identity. I decided to call myself “Indiana’s Weatherman” because I no longer belonged to just one tv weather brand…I belonged to everyone […]

The SMS is still on Christmas Vacation this week. Would you say you’re missing it? If so, give this year’s Christmas Show a spin. The cast and special guests did a live performance of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Scroll to the bottom of this post to play the podcast. The tradition has been going on […]
Bob Knight Talks About Peyton Manning
Bob Knight analyzed football in a taped interview with WZPL’s Smiley Morning Show Wednesday morning. (It had to be taped, you know the coach’s mouth and all…) One of the topics was how a coach and team should move forward minus a key player who is injured. Knight admitted to David that he now second-guesses […]
