Dave Mulligan brought Dave’s Dud Discs into my life originally in 1986 on Radio Stupid, the Saturday morning show on 2SER-FM. “Rare ungroovy” would be the best way to explain the collection of over 10,000 7″ singles that are in Dave’s collection.

These segments are from the Triple J breakfast show 1988 & 1990 and you will hear these previously unheard discs from the 50s & 60s, perhaps for good reason.

Asiatic Flu – The Uptowns
Taxtime – Cab Calloway (Mr Minnie The Moocher)
The Ballad of the Green Hornet
I Just Can’t Wait – Noel Harrison
The Joker Went Wild – Brian Highland
I’m Gonna Be Warm This Winter – Connie Francis
Boeing Boeing – Roger Miller
It’s Summertime USA – The Pixies Three
Ain’t Too Proud To Beg – The Temptations
Ain’t No Surf in Portobello – The Valves
The Rockin’ Teenage Mummies – Ray Stevens
Desafinardo – Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd
Just What I Always Wanted – Mari Wilson
Louie Louie – The Surfaris
Isn’t This Just Like Empty Vee? – The Atavistics

Planet Maynard wins the Cast Away Australian Podcast Award on Saturday night for Comedy & Entertainment, surprising his parents, his neighbour and his agent.

Saturday night the “who’s who” of “who’s that?” in the Australian podcasting scene turned out for the inaugural Cast Away Australian Podcast Awards, after welcoming a large group of podcasters on the mini red carpet Maynard thanked the holy trinity in his acceptance speech, Adam Curry, Tim Ferguson & John C Dvorak (the Holy Ghost).

The other shortlisted podcasts in the category The Ginni Show & We Facted Up were strong competition as they seem to know what they are doing.

Maynard’s acceptance speech went something like this:

I never thought I’d be accepting an award from an ABC employee.

ABC management told me my podcasts were “over produced and self indulgent”. Have you heard the 702 Drive show?

I’d like to thank the Holy Trinity; Adam Curry, Tim Ferguson and the Holy Ghost, John C Dvorak.

The Ginni Show and We Facted Up are both really good shows which makes this award even more surprising.

Thanks also to The Skeptic Zone, What Double J Should Sound Like, my Patreon supporters & Byson & Hume for keeping Planet Maynard’s lights on.

We all know why we podcast. Bicurious males and chicks dig podcasters.

My advice for podcasters everywhere? Two things, never throw away your archives, ever. And always try to enter an Awards show the first year it’s held.
