Bunga Bunga 35 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

It’s always a fun day when Bunga Bunga comes to play.

We had a small audience gather at the Madame Frou Frou Cafe for this recording of Bunga Bunga. Tim Ferguson was his usual showboating self, and he wasted no time taking names and assigning blame to those who richly deserve it.

Tim thinks the Australian desert would look better without that big red rock blocking the view and contemplates destroying Uluru to improve tourism, he picks a fight with the Indian from Village People and he’s overly confident about a song he’s written about whistling.

Maynard is just looking forward to hanging out with a large group of nostalgic lesbians, singing torch songs.

The unedited interview sounds from Maynard and Cliff Richard squashed together in a small hotel room with producer Chris Norris during Cliff Richard’s 1991 Australian tour. Cliff answers questions from listeners honestly about his music, make-up, miming and celibacy.

What is his favourite song? Hint: It’s not the same as Maynard’s.

Bunga Bunga 34 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Bunga Bunga 34 dives straight into the naughty end of the pool, with Tim Ferguson declaring himself a feminist centrist. Maynard doesn’t know what this means so foolishly asks for his opinion on offensive comedy and stop/walk sign sexual ambiguity.

Tension is in the Bunga Bunga air as Tim Ferguson gets snippy about free speech and your mouth. Planet Maynard is up for an award and Tim has written the perfect speech, win or lose.

The listeners problems are solved, you find out what’s in Maynard’s Bug Out Bag and we all spot Hilary Clinton in a beer truck.

We even have the brief return of the unemployed screen writer of Glebe, while Tim reads a statement on his feelings towards Northcote (again).

Planet Maynard, it’s not where you live.

Planet Maynard wins podcast award!

Planet Maynard wins the Cast Away Australian Podcast Award on Saturday night for Comedy & Entertainment, surprising his parents, his neighbour and his agent.

Saturday night the “who’s who” of “who’s that?” in the Australian podcasting scene turned out for the inaugural Cast Away Australian Podcast Awards, after welcoming a large group of podcasters on the mini red carpet Maynard thanked the holy trinity in his acceptance speech, Adam Curry, Tim Ferguson & John C Dvorak (the Holy Ghost).

The other shortlisted podcasts in the category The Ginni Show & We Facted Up were strong competition as they seem to know what they are doing.

Maynard’s acceptance speech went something like this:

I never thought I’d be accepting an award from an ABC employee.

ABC management told me my podcasts were “over produced and self indulgent”. Have you heard the 702 Drive show?

I’d like to thank the Holy Trinity; Adam Curry, Tim Ferguson and the Holy Ghost, John C Dvorak.

The Ginni Show and We Facted Up are both really good shows which makes this award even more surprising.

Thanks also to The Skeptic Zone, What Double J Should Sound Like, my Patreon supporters & Byson & Hume for keeping Planet Maynard’s lights on.

We all know why we podcast. Bicurious males and chicks dig podcasters.

My advice for podcasters everywhere? Two things, never throw away your archives, ever. And always try to enter an Awards show the first year it’s held.

Final part of the backstage antics during the Totally 80s tour across Australia last winter. Limahl has a drink and tells us what it was like working with Georgio Moroder to produce the song Never Ending Story.

In fact let’s all have a few drinks and meet everyone backstage.

In this show you will hear from:

Paul Lekarkis (just back from shopping)
Dave Schulz, Chris Olivias, Terri Nunn of Berlin (they have sock envy)
Ivan Doroschuk (very elusive)
Dave Sterry Real Life (he knows where the bodies are buried)
Johnno Smallman (artist liaison, I’ll let him explain it)
Katrina of The Waves (poodle and pub talk)
Martika fans from Portland in Victoria
Paul Gray (our musical director and Mr Waa Waa Nee)
Simon Shapiro (bass player and Mr 1927)
