A Very Recalcitrant Xmas 2019

Tim Ferguson and Maynard bring you A Very Recalcitrant Xmas 2019, the Xmas show that doesn’t really want to be here.

Tim wants Lego for Xmas, Maynard doesn’t even want Xmas for Xmas.

Ferguson has his usually spot on predictions for next year, remember he has correctly called every Australian election this century.

To help along the way we have podcast friends from around the world dropping in to make this the most recalcitrant show of your festive season.

Lance Leopard, The Darbys, Karl & Andy from Who Are These Podcasts?, George Hrab, Christopher Laird & Tony Push all bring us their reality of Xmas. See if it matches yours.

From all here at Planet Maynard we wish you A Very Recalcitrant Xmas 2019

A Very Barry Crocker Xmas 1989

Unheard since December 1989, Australian legend Barry Crocker live on the Maynard breakfast show on Triple J.

A Very Barry Crocker Xmas has is all, Barry sings with Adeva, advises you on personal security while travelling and gives some 1989 fashion tips.

Barry brings all the festive foolish fun and good humour he is known for as well as a Xmas tune from Damien Lovelock that Barry eventually loved.

Barry never did explain how he could fit in that sportscar.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2000 Channel V

It’s a selection of music and Xmas musings in A Very Maynard Xmas 2000 from Channel V on Foxtel from 2000.

Keep an eye out for Jabba, Yumi, Kyla, Mary, Mike, Andrew G, James Matheson and Andrew Mercardo, as we enjoy a getaway near an open fireplace with some moments from Channel V in 2000.

If you liked the earlier Maynard Channel V Xmas show, this will give you that same funny feeling in your water.

Uncool Yule 2 – More Dud Xmas Discs

Dave Mulligan brings you an uncool yule when he returns with 3 great songs for the holiday season, or so he thinks.

Dave Mulligan is a 50s and 60s record collector, mainly 45s, and every year Maynard asks him to share a few that you don’t normally hear at this time of year. Or ever really.

Maynard and Dave Mulligan apologise and wish you a very Uncool Yule.

But what would A Very Maynard Xmas look like?

In 1998 we found out when Foxtel’s Channel V assigned Mary Datoc and Maynard to dig up clips and music from around all Foxtel channels in a way that would never happen now.

All the Channel V presenters of the time turned up at Maynard’s for an afternoon and this show was the result.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2011

Maynard & Tony Push bring you Xmas greetings from their favourite bus stop recording studio. Also exciting music reveals The Dirty Disbelievers, a new show in 2012. The second half of the show may have too much poultry in it, but that’s for you to decide.

Uncool Yule – Dave’s Dud Xmas Discs

Prepare ye for an Uncool Yule with Dave’s Dud Xmas Discs, Dave Mulligan brings you a poorly thought out selection of Xmas goose that made the 50s, 60s & 70s what they are today.

These tracks will have you singing, dancing & maybe prancing. But you will feel the secret shame of Santa and wonder about the power of Xmas to compel this kind of music creation.

100% Xmas and 100% shameless, we love it.
