Saturday night Maynardarama broadcast to the world a message of foolishness and colourful tea towels wrapped in the grooves that are so needed these days.
Enjoy a trampoline with Ann-Margret, a casually undone bow tie with Tom jones or maybe marvel at Mari Wilson changing her outfit in under 25 seconds on live TV. Tim Ferguson drops in to monkey around AND International (but mainly NSW) Tea Towel News.

Warren Coleman, who played Bowling Man in The Castanet Club, drops in to Maynard International Studios to return his VHS player. Can Maynard look like he has a life with only a Barbara Eden photo and a 1982 calendar?
Not a chance, but enjoy this 2021 episode of The Odd Couple.
Warren has had an illustrious career acting, writing, acting some more, writing some more and then editing and writing. Which won him an Academy Award for Happy Feet in 2006.
Warren and Maynard talk about none of this, but if you want the hot ticket to the best Lost In Space and Star Trek episodes we have them for you.
The Newcastle Museum exhibition The Castanet Club: an exhibition you can dance to! opens on July 11th and continues till October 31st. Come see and hear what it was all about from 1982 – 1991.

Bunga Bunga 67 surprises the world with a vision of hope, whimsy and frippery. Just what you need in these trying times.
They could have used Kim Beazley as a battering ram.
Tim Ferguson (insurrectionist)
Learn where Kyneton is, experience the bass guitars of war and get yourself a decent super hero psychologist.
Tim takes a journey to 1990s Canberra in his Tim Tunnel, Maynard defenestrates himself via the 1960s and they both answer the percussion based question that has split the Nation in two.
When the world is forming a band, Australia usually plays the triangle.
Tim Ferguson (geopolitical strategist)
Having strangers stick money into my underpants makes me feel cheap and expensive at the same time.

It’s Bunga Bunga 66! You know what that means? Tim Ferguson and Maynard are two thirds of the way to the Devil’s number while still being only one third in reality.
This show Tim & Maynard take you on a 30 minute adventure that has bears, baths and bugger all to do with reality. Tim’s been to Adelaide and Maynard has never been to me. Your Crankmail is answered but very little else.
Travel in time to explore the lesbian protest “rule of four”, find out what is boring Tim this week and have a look in Maynard’s Bug Out Bag.
What do Daryl Somers and Shintaro have in common? Nothing, but they are both good at hiding and are both hot topics for discussion in Bunga Bunga 66.

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.
If I was going to invade Parliament House, I’d dress like Bananas In Pyjamas
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.
