Those desperately seeking Lance Leopard need listen no further than this podcast as Lance returns to talk all things fashion, faux pas and fabulousness.
Maynard is desperately seeking legendary Oxford St legend Lance Leopard in his credenza filled rooftop garden ivory tower of gossip. There are movies, dancing, some singing, and of course talk of Madonna and Elizabeth Taylor.
Lance Leopard reads yet another Madonna book in the rooftop garden of his ivory tower.
Lance recommends a few lesser known Elizabeth Taylor movies for us as well as reciting by heart her complete range of fragrances.
Listener mail has Lance answering questions on…
Fashion mistakes he has made: “I don’t know what you are talking about”.
The cyclical nature of fashion: “The 1980s has already come and gone three times already this century. Things can come into fashion for one evening now, if someone has a good enough party.”
Lance also finds time (as his mother is staying with him) to review the recently renovated Midnight Shift, now known as the Universal. But he still has a soft spot for The Palms (previously Scooters) as he used to DJ there regularly.
The next Loveshack comes your way for your complete cocktail dancing experience on Saturday 22nd June. Facebook event here.
Although Lance’s claim of a needle mark on Marilyn Monroe’s body after death isn’t on the 1962 coroner’s report, her toxicology report does raise some questions that weren’t answered.
Maynard, Ant Banister, DJ ADHD & Tony Push bring the most eclectic music selection you’ll hear on any public holiday.
You’ll love this aural journey: Exactshit – Sound of Muzak Def Fx – Headfuck Throbbing Gristle – AB7A Sonia Jones – Brian’s Song Ghost – Crucified Lunar Module – Syncromesh Dani Ury – Sex & Drugs & Party Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons – Taxi Mary Beasts Of Bourbon – Ten Wheels For Jesus Sounds Like Winter – He Was Gone Scritti Politti – Sweetest Girl Eileen Wilson (for Susan Hayward) – I’ll Plant My Own Tree Crashland – Plastic Jesus Flowers – Icehouse The Reels – Quasimodo’s Dream London Symphony Orchestra – Into The Groove
Listen to the Sound of EasterIt’s What Double J Should Sound Like Time.
In true Bunga Bunga fashion, Tim and Maynard get stuck into Tim’s huge new secret art project. It’s very big, very ambitious and very Ferguson.
The two are very impressed by Madonna’s acting/hair colour. Tim confesses his personal 1985 journey from Punk to Madonna devotee.
Maynard helps Kitler the Nationalist cat feel better. Recreational drugs aren’t just for mice anymore.
They also reveal how Tim can deliver The Liberal party a huge win in the coming election.
In a bonus to all listeners Tim reveals his previously deeply guarded secrets of financial investment in the only recession proof investments. Star Wars toys and Captain Marvel merchandise. You’ll thank us in your retirement.
People all over Sydney are rushing, hushing and flushing to The Red Bar (upstairs) in Glebe for the underrated date of Saturday May 4th, 8pm til midnight for Maynard’s Loveshack.
$10 on the door.
Join Maynard in his LOVESHACK. But what will it sound like? If you like your retro sounds eclectic, it might sound something like this or not.
Maynard the retro DJ behind the Madd Club and many other happenings over the decades, presents a night of shameless sounds that celebrate the pop and pretentiousness of the late 20th century.
The legendary Lance Leopard will be choosing the music for the first hour or so and will keep making entrances till he is noticed. Upon which he will immediately hold court.
It’s a rare chance to have a meet up with Lance and Maynard. So have your questions ready.
Video will be screened from the Maynard International Studios library to inspire your dance moves.
Maynard will be playing Lance Leopard’s personal selection of tunes from 9-10. Lance will be holding Court after making an entrance (he will be available for questions).
I got together with DJ ADHD & Tony Push to bring you some Alt Pop sounds of the 20th century.
Featuring sounds like these and more….

Foxtel’s Channel V coverage of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade 2000.
Join Maynard, Jabba, Mary Datoc, Andrew Mercado, and a cast of thousands including a cameo from Molly Meldrum & Felipe Rose (Village People) for a fun filled night.
William Shatner charmed the frankly overexcited crowd that came from far and very wide to see his live solo show at The State Theatre in Sydney in October 2018.
I grabbed my best Shatner tie and my 1969 BBC Star Trek puzzle book and knew I was going to be among my kind of people.
If I can’t wear this tie tonight. Then when?
The resulting Planet Maynard podcast is from the dozen people I spoke with at The State Theatre that night.
The many shades of Shatner mentioned included:
The Outer Limits, TJ Hooker, Miss Congeniality, The Twilight Zone, Shit My Dad Says, Tribbles, Gorn, Kingdom of the Spiders, Canada, Red Shirts,Flying High 2, Star Trek 2 (but not Star Trek 5). Yet not one person could even hum the theme to one of my favourite works of The Shatman, Barbary Coast.
Here’s Bill in a mauve smoking jacket as he turns out to be a man of many disguises in the opening credits.
That theme tune!
Thanks to the Red Shirts, Belinda and her mum Robyn from the southern tablelands, Kevin Williams and the disgruntled Canadian.
The Coldest 100 was the creation of Andrew Sholl on Twitter in 2016 and has been the Giddy Uncle of Triple J’s Hottest 100 ever since. Anyone can have a guess at the hottest song of the year, but who has ever nominated the Bunnings theme or Kylie Minogue performing her version of Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep?
Andrew only does this on Twitter (he has a real job) and releases his Coldest 100 in parallel with what ever number Triple J is up too.
The Coldest 100 can best be described as questionable songs by Australians and about Australia. So Andrew Sholl sat down with me at The Madame Frou Frou Cafe to sample a sixpack of his 100 cold ones.
Here are a selection of 2019 Coldest 100 entries on YouTube. A list of The Coldest 100 from 100 to 75 is below. You’ll have to wait till January 27th to find out the worst coldest of The Coldest 100.

Bunga Bunga 51 brings you all the hope and excitement of 2019. Thus making you really nostalgic for 2018 almost immediately.
Tim Ferguson & Maynard or Maynard & Tim Ferguson, but probably all four of them, have the starts and the smarts to show you a good time in January as we venture into a very certain uncertain political landscape.
Maynard is starting a new Saturday night of retro grooves in Sydney at Red Bar in March and Tim is taking his new solo show on tour across Australia.
Bunga Bunga 51 also leads you down the comedy back alleys less travelled as we meet Richard Wilkins, an unattended chicken and wake up to smell the cupcakes (or is that onions?).
