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 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.
From Bunga Bunga 34:
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)
The incomparable George Hrab had me on his 500th Geologic Podcast show as part of his 500 minute Facebook live video show.
In this clip I turn up at 2.:56:40 for 30 minutes that include mask work, trombone playing and introspective personality gazing.
The Maynard 2017 pictorial calendar has it all, excitement, danger, even romance (but just in February)
Download this PDF and have it printed in A5, A4 or even A3 for a year of Maynard on the wall or desk of your choice. Click on this link and then save the calendar to your desktop.
Not everyone has a Maynard calendar, and there’s probably a good reason for that.

You can find the details about Tim Ferguson berating the Skeptics In The Pub in Sydney on Thursday 2nd February here.
As always your support through Patreon as producers is appreciated here.
Maynard was the host of Planet Fx, a Sci-Fi comedy/geek/music/variety show every weekday afternoon for 2 years when Foxtel first started in Australia in 1995 & 1996, before he went of to host music television (remember when that was a thing) on Red Tv and Channel V.
Here are two clips from the Planet Fx show one with Bob Downe (Mark Trevorrow) singing Xanadu (to a backing track, he is not lip syncing) and one featuring a phone call to a Triple J regular Mrs Fred Sinatra of Las Vegas (who is actually lip synced, as you’ll see from the video).

From September 1992 it’s Sunday Afternoon Fever celebrating all things Brady in a bumper 3 hour episode with music, interviews and a special Brady Maynard’s Mastermind. We also let the people of Australia decide, by voting for their favourite Brady member.
Mrs Fred Sinatra of Las Vegas is along to give advice on love, Lance of The Hollywood Kids has gossip about the opening night of Fire Walk With Me, as well a the exciting new Drew Barrymore TV project with Aaron Spelling 2000 Malibu Road.
We speak with Christopher Knight, Peter Brady himself about being the fictional middle child and how he feels about the opening night of The Real Live Brady Bunch.
The Soloway sisters join us with Warren Coleman to talk about the afternoon they came up with the idea for The real Live Brady Bunch show in their lounge room (their mum thought it would get them in trouble). Jill Soloway has since gone on to write Six Feet Under among many other projects and Warren has won an Oscar.
Andrew G takes questions from the listeners on all things Brady while in between we hear some music from Caligula, Screamin” Jay Hawkins, Def Fx, The Shamen, Utah Saints, Cracker, Stray Cats and more. Quite the afternoon of listening ahead of you.
We miss you Florence Henderson.
