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.

Second in the series recorded as I hosted the Totally 80s tour across Australia in July, this show takes you from Perth via Adelaide to Hobart.We hear from excited fans as well as Terri Nunn (talking Giorgio Moroder), Paul Lekakis (giving lifestyle tips), Robyn Loau (taking you on a journey to the darker side of Adelaide) & Stacey Q.
Stacey Q had two huge worldwide hits in 1986 with Two of Hearts & We Connect. She was under an illness cloud for some of the tour and I managed to interview her in-between bouts of flu.
Does it sound like we are having fun?
We are.
The tour continues…

Whigfield (Sannie Carlson) best known for Sexy Eyes & Saturday Night is touring across Australia in November with The Vengaboys, Crystal Waters, Sonique, Tina Cousins & Joanne. So it’ll be a huge 90s party around the country, cheesy and loud.
Whigfield explains why she is happy to be touring Australia at this time of year (the English weather) the dangers of Swiss Chocolate and what we can learn about making video clips from Duran Duran.
If she can get her stage outfit through Australian customs, it’ll be a party every night (with chocolate).

Keep an eye out for Jenny Hope, as an indignant mother, she has been a long time Micallef regular and producer of kids quiz show Mind Twist I hosted for Channel 10.
I did like yelling “epicureans” from my passing VW.
