Bunga Bunga 64 comes live to you from Tim’s lounge room with the help of Richard Saunders. We fully promise that as usual, don’t expect too much.
Tim has been making art, Maynard has been making a nuisance of himself.
You’ll believe a cat can fly after this mystical journey into your murk.
Watch the video of our November Bunga Bunga livestream.
Get your panties into a bunch (I pre bunched mine) and prepare to clutch your “pearls” as we scare the gihoodie out of you with this Halloween special from my Rewind show from 1998.
You find this show spooky and kooky. Especially if you find pyjamas terrifying.
“The body count of this show is a little higher than usual.”
Music from The Romantics, The Rubbettes, Renee Geyer, The Communards, Rod Stewart, AC/DC, even Johnny Hates Jazz.
Frank Bennett was the swingin’ guest on Rewind on the release of his Cash Landing album in 1999. What a guy, what a sound, what a suit!
Frank’s career spans 2 albums, a cable TV show and live appearances across Australia since 1995. Even multi ARIA nominations didn’t slow him down.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the big band boy from Bankstown is on this hour special.
Plus music clips from Nina Simone, Frank, Elvis, even Bob Downe with Pastel Vespa.
In this Rewind show from 1997 you’ll have the usual retro excitement you expect from Maynard on an old VHS tape.
There’s the opening tension of the best plate spinning on cable TV followed by Adam Ant, Human League and The Fat Boys.

Bunga Bunga 63 brings the joy of film, music and maritime safety right up your astral plane.
Tim Ferguson and Maynard hold aloft their disappointing splendour of sound. This time it’s serious film critic vs comedy and Tim takes it personally. Maynard ponders that Whitney might have saved the Titanic.
So as usual Bunga Bunga leaves a mess.
There is no cure for a grumpy cat, except to put them in a leadership position.

Kinselas nightclub Sydney is the setting for this journey through the Rewind Volume 2 CD (disc one).
The renovations to the middle bar had the place looking as clean as it was ever going to be. So I’m sure you’ll enjoy the decor in between the music clips.
You’ll cop tracks from MC Hammer, Bananarama, Ce Ce Peniston, Beats International, Sunscream, Snap, Blondie, Kriss Kross, De La Soul and more. It’s a packed show.
Deee-Lite was Towa Tei and DJ Dimitry, with Lady Miss Kier cooing out front of a wicked bass groove produced by legendary 70s funkster Bootsy Collins & Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest. This track is from the World Clique album featuring a lot of faux fur.
Kriss Kross are the winners of the stupidest street clothing look of the 1990s. These two thirteen year old kids Chris Smith and Chris Kelly wore their pants backwards. No wonder their follow up was called I Missed The Bus.
This Saturday night on Channel V, yet more precision roller-skating from Emma & Leah of Q Bar Sydney, while Maynard presents a collection of music clips just perfect for quarantine viewing.
The parade of pop continues with Suzi Quatro, ABBA, Rod Stewart, Barry Manilow, The Monkees, Do Re Mi, Sex Pistols, Pseudo Echo, Chic and more.
Resplendent in flanno pyjamas and tiger feet slippers, Maynard invites you to relax with a show which has something for everyone.
It’s a half hour of colour and really far too much movement in the moody lighting of Maynard’s Madd Club livestream.
Top tunes from Tom Jones, Melissa, even Professor Elemental, with sounds to uplift you when you need it most.
We go on location to DJ Mark Alsop’s production studio to find how not wearing a shirt will get you into Pet Shop Boys show, and more.

Bunga Bunga 62 ponders the imposing amount of Crankmail that was slipped under the front door this week.
Tim Ferguson & Maynard soothe a troubled nation using the well known therapeutic tools of cocaine, cats & Canberra.
We argue over dancing, and laugh at a well known Australian capital city. We give important tips on professional presentations, including the appropriate use of the word “lick”.
This is the show that finally may have discovered what Tim’s alt right feline Kitler is doing late at night.

George Hrab has been a favourite of mine to interview since first meeting him in 2010 at TAM (The Amazing Meeting) Australia.
George is the fun filled science communicator-adjacent, overly-talented musician from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
I have known George for 10 years, but only met him 3 times. So of course we are best friends.
This 30 minutes has the usual wide ranging and seemingly random topics. Expect bathroom etiquette, attractive women wanting to kill you, and trombones.
From humble beginnings overcoming the shame of Moonraker being his first James Bond film, to performing around the world solo, with a string quartet or his usual 9 piece funk band The Philadelphia Funk Authority.
Whenever there’s a “big blow” on, I try to be in the bath.
George Hrab, Hydro Enthusiast
I am comfortable with my role as the brain sorbet of the science communication community.
George Hrab, the popular palate cleanser.
George & Maynard get together backstage in Las Vegas after working 48 hours straight in 2012.
