Schadenfreude? Or just plain epicaricacy?

Nicholas Hudson has authored Modern Australian Usage: A practical guide for writers & editors. As Maynard is rubbish at writing, he hopes to get pointers on Australian English and how to win at Scrabble for once. May contain adult concepts, like spelling.

Nick has a wonderful Terry Thomas like cadence when he talks about his approach to editing Australian English.

Does a barrister still have forensic skills?

Am I discriminating against my clothing every day?

Why use a fancy pants Teutonic word when we have perfectly good English word laying around doing nothing?

The Heckler

Ben Plazzer is the director of a new Australian comedy The Heckler. I’m easily distracted and really liked it. You might too. Ben Plazzer gives you some tips on directing in a toilet and keeping stand up comics from overacting.

Bunga Bunga 14 Tim Ferguson & Maynard

This is an epic opus of Bunga Bunga proportions this time. Tim Ferguson & Maynard journey through the world for 90 minutes with no clear destination or known format. If you aren’t offended by something Tim says in this episode, which contains lots of bad language, drug use and ‘Allo ‘Allo, we have failed. NSFW

Some of the topics covered in this show are: Cinderella, fracking, Maynard invents a Mardi Gras costume, our listeners invent their own religions, Dad’s Army, the French, South Australia, Buffy, waitresses, working for free and Walker – Texas fucking Ranger..

Shaken AND Stirred – Maynard live in Wickham

Maynard plays a DJ set in Wickham that was so impressive he has never been asked back. Live from the Lass O Gowrie hotel.

Despite few people getting up to dance, it contains some of my favourite tracks. I thought you may enjoy being shaken and stirred.

Groove to these great tunes and go find them on iTunes.

Happy Kinky 22nd Birthday, Sydney Hellfire

The Sydney Hellfire Club opened at Blackmarket, in Camperdown in March 1993 and celebrated its 22nd birthday. The evening brought back together many pervy people from across the club’s long, strange history. Join us, will you? Do I really need to tell you this isn’t safe for ANYONE to listen to.

Bunga Bunga 13 Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Tim Ferguson and Maynard start Bunga Bunga 13 by watching some Australian parliament and end the show with Morrissey and dancing to perhaps the greatest unknown disco song of all time. A new segment, Maynard’s Moneyshot Theatre and updated news of the Doug Anthony All Stars antics in Melbourne.

Dave Mason Live (without Dave)

Dave Mason of The Reels played a great cinematic gig at The Golden Age Cinema in Sydney last week. Dave of course, wouldn’t be interviewed, but I did get to speak with a few famous faces in the crowd (and Tony Push) enjoy. The show was actually quite moving.

Bunga Bunga 12: Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Tim Ferguson & Maynard are angry and concerned about everything from the Australian flag to Eurovision. You know, the really important stuff. This show comes from a beleaguered Fortress Ferguson, where thankfully there are plenty of Mr Spock action figures for them to play with.

Sunday Afternoon Fever 7.2.1993 The Death of The Reels

In the 1st SAF for 1993 as Dave Mason declares the death of The Reels. Doug Anthony All Stars in London, a new single for Duran Duran and I can’t find a guest to interview. So I let the audience interview me. Lance & The Hollywood Kids & Mrs Sinatra too! AND Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra live in the studio direct off the plane from Japan.
