Video – Brain Freeze – The Coldest 100 – 2025

Prepare yourself for the video of the warmest parts of The Coldest 100, 2025.

Maynard hosts a video of Australia’s own Coldest 100 – 2025. Mostly picked by Andrew Sholl, it will features world class musical “issues” only Australia can produce.

The Coldest 100 is songs about Australia, or by Australians that sometimes didn’t turn out as planned…

Expect to see Good News, Kamahl, Kylie, ONJ, The Cockroaches, Collette, Simon Gallaher, Nick Cave and a lot of marsupials doing their bit to get on the show. Guest appearances from fellow Aussie travellers Paul Field, Bronwyn Mulcahy, Lesley Fountain (Glenn Keenan), Tony Push and the man in a tree (newly promoted with a desk).

Enjoy! Cobber…..

Bunga Bunga 39 has Tim Ferguson with the Doug Anthony All Stars in the UK. He’s working at the Edinburgh Festival followed by a season in London.

Maynard and Tim tackle politics, sex, the moon landing hoax and rocks in your muesli (muesli-leaks).

We answer your Crankmail about aeroplanes, autographs and the very meaning of Bunga Bunga itself. We have answers this multiple times, may we recommend having a slow binge listen to Planet Maynard, starting at Bunga Bunga 1

In Bunga Bunga 39, Tim changes radio history, while Maynard plays with his doll (but it’s a good one).

As heard in Bunga Bunga 39:

In 1942 the Japanese invasion of Australia seemed imminent and inevitable. Scorched Earth plans to deny the Japanese invaders were drawn up across Australia and Sue Rosen uncovered the very detailed New South Wales Scorched Earth plans that had been forgotten and misfiled at the end of the Second World War.

The plans drawn up included everything from starting aggressive bush fires to hinder the Japanese and using sharpened Ironbark as improvised bayonets to making sure no soldier of Japan captures your tennis shoes.
