Ireland Steele and Seamus McFly

Ireland Steele and Seamus McFly are a couple of unusually creative kids from somewhere among the corn fields of northern Ohio. They originally met in high school where they amused their classmates with adlibbed poetry, amusing PowerPoint presentations, and celebrity impressions. In an attempt to bring their unique brand of comedy to the world they looked to the internet, picked up some cheap microphones, ignored their own lack of technical knowledge and started recording a podcast.

The Steele/McFly Podcast

The first season of Ireland and Seamus's new show was to be called the Steele/McFly Podcast. It made sense; podcasts were becoming pretty popular at the time, even though nobody really seemed to be sure what exactly a podcast was. Not really sure about how the whole thing would work out, they went ahead with a sketch comedy show format and started recording.

The first five episodes continued with the comedy sketch style. The episodes were met with positive reviews by the show's small legion of fans, but the series creators were starting to get bored with the predictability of the format, and their growing experience with writing, acting, and editing convinced them that it was time for a change. Episode 6 finally switched things up by forgoing sketches in favor of a courtroom drama parody. Episode 7 again changed the formula entirely by presenting an entire episode in the form of a series of fake movie trailers in a movie theater.

As part of our limited edition World Tour Box Set, we recorded an in-universe clip show featuring fictional evil producer Chefgon. If you are visiting the site to listen to our acclaimed second season (The Steele/McFly World Tour), we recommend that you skip the majority of the first season and instead listen to this clip episode as well as episodes 6 and 7, which will serve to introduce most of the Steele/McFly universe and characters that appear in the second season.

The Steele/McFly World Tour

In 2009, Ireland and Seamus got back together to record another season of their show. This time around, they dropped the name "Podcast" and went with the title "The Steele/McFly World Tour" as the name of the show. Unlike the varying styles of the first season, the World Tour takes the form of an eighty minute story arc unfolding over the course of 8 episodes, each one taking place in a different country around the world.

Keeping with their signature style of Hollywood-inspired comedy, each of these locations is depicted according to television and movie stereotypes. The settings themselves aren't really all that important, as they simply serve as the weekly stage for Ireland and Seamus's crazy adventures.

Before continuing on to the episodes, we'd like to thank the great movies that make our show possible. The various movies and television shows referenced in this season include, but aren't limited to, James Bond, Serenity, Pirates of the Carribean, Sweeney Todd, Jurassic Park, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, V for Vendetta, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Red Green Show, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and The Lion King. Please enjoy the show.
