Bunga Bunga 65 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Bunga Bunga 65 finds Tim Ferguson and Maynard hard at work making Australia a better place by making sure they don’t get caught.

A pithy Bunga Bunga 65 finds Tim in a mood to tell off ABC legal while Maynard is puzzled at the amount of Barry Crocker records he seems to own.

They also answer the big questions about Tim’s burlesque career, Adelaide, Goth subculture, and what to wear to an insurrection.

Tim Ferguson (insurrectionist)

Victorian listeners will no doubt be especially excited about Tim’s public address to the people of Melbourne. In which he fingers some COVID malfeasance on the part of alleged hipsters.

The “large flightless budgie of New Zealand” that Tim mentioned he drew in this show was a Kakapo. See a less interesting drawing of the Kakapo here.

Goths used to be likeable, but now they’re just people who have a lot of Ann Rice novels.

Maynard’s Mastermind Quiz

Maynard’s Mastermind quiz upped it’s game this month with the addition of higher production values, an inflatable hippo and a cat.

Most of the questions this month again were found behind my couch from around 1997, although we do have some from a TV Week magazine from 1979. Good luck!
