Bunga Bunga 60 has Tim & Maynard keeping Australia up to date on the things that count. Distracting zombies with online streaming and the fate of that possum in Maynard’s shed.
They take Crankmail on Bond, boobs, and a rather feisty Dachshund from Perth calls into the Alan Jones show to counter the issues brought up last time by Tim’s cat.
It’s not a bit of wood or an owl.
Maynard decided to take a look at 1978 in this Rewind show from Foxtel’s now axed Channel V music network.
With the help of our volunteer from the viewing audience and two hangers-on near the couch we bring you the year that was 1978, from the point of view of 1999.

One Man Madd Club, livestream 1st May
1997 was a great year for Kylie Minogue, living in the busy Kylieworld of Pop.
Living in the land of Britpop, Kylie had been working on her Impossible Princess album for two years.
“Kylieworld” was the way she described her publicity schedule, level of fame and the concept of never really having to work again if she didn’t want to.
I asked her about her relationship with her record company (Deconstruction in the UK) and the future opportunities of working in the US.
She spoke about having a family (decades away), what music she’d enjoyed lately (The Verve) and about being turned away from a Club with Nick Cave the week before (they weren’t).
Kylie also gave definitive rulings on: “What to look for at a potential boyfriend’s place?”, “Favourite track of Impossible Princess?” and of course “Your favourite music clip up to now?”.
Revisit 1997’s Kylie Minogue. I’d even wear that shirt again.

Maynard gets Tim Ferguson on the Bungaphone for an action packed and speculation filled Bunga Bunga 59.
Don’t know where it will all end? Neither do Tim nor Maynard, but in a show that somehow connects 3 different native animals, a cat and Alan Jones you are assured to be no wiser by the end of this travesty of a mockery.
Your Crankmail is answered, Tim addresses the country’s lack of panic buying this week and Maynard starts an airline with the help of Winston Churchill.
Keep hoarding Australia!

Maynard Air, it’s up yours.

Desperate times call for a highly entertaining and consummate Bunga Bunga.
Tim Ferguson & Maynard are the right duo up in the right place to get down at the right time. Join them as they cower in place in the lofty heights of Tim’s Fortress of Arrogance. But don’t worry, Maynard’s Bug Out Bag has been ready for years, full of questionable cultural content.
Even gossip king Lance Leopard phones in to the show from his ivory tower of scandal, to solve a burning social issue. You know, the Kylie/Madonna one.
Hold the line Australia. Hold the line.
Tim Ferguson
Bunga Bunga 58 contains advice, laughs, wisdom and a little bit of comfort food as Tim & Maynard pirouette on the cutting edge with things that are SO early March, that no one is talking about any more: micro plastics in teabags, waxed baking paper usage and that Greta.
If you can’t lick anybody else, you might as well lick yourself.

Learn about yet another emerging threat to Australia from Northcote. Be alert and maybe a bit alarmed about the scourge of overly earnest poetry about to swamp a nation that has already suffered enough.
You aren’t the only one tired of being part of a major historical event. So let’s discuss Julie Andrews in the bathroom, Tim & Maynard’s career having eerie similarities to the Australian economy right now and poop on a plate.

So, Ruby don’t take your love to town. It’s shut. Settle in with Bunga Bunga 58. But remember…..

Hear a time capsule from the Melbourne Comedy Festival 1992. Sunday Afternoon Fever live across Australia on Triple J, 5th April 1992.
Maynard and guests, Wendy Harmer, Bachelors From Prague, Doug Anthony All Stars, Stomp, Mark Little, Found Objects, Chris Lynam, Lily Savage, Corky and The Juice Pigs, Lance & The Hollywood Kids, bring you a music and mayhem filled 3 hours from just one Sunday afternoon that was very 1992.
ABC Studio 320 in Broadcast House, Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, was the venue for an afternoon of goofin’ off featuring the house band for the show Bachelors From Prague. It was their last public appearance before leaving for Italy.
This 3 hour show includes all the interviews and performances, as well as the flavour of the 1992 music groove.
This was the first year Stomp toured Australia and before Wendy Harmer began her very successful commercial radio career in Sydney in 1993.
DAAS had just been on The Big Gig and upset ABC viewers even more than usual. Chris Lynham was wonderfully surreal and gave some of the best non sequitur answers ever.
All of these performers are still around, all every bit as entertaining as in this show. Seek them out, it’s worth the journey.
Thanks to all our guests. Special thanks to the very professional Triple J Producers Chris Norris, Anne Marie, Phil McKelar and all at ABC Melbourne 1992.

Bunga Bunga 57 brings poor advice and even worse lifestyle choices into your hearing once again.
We hear from Tim on his new cat, Star Trek’s best movies, burlesque as a tax dodge, inappropriate dress for time travel and why cows and mining don’t mix.
Tim and Maynard also dive deep into the burning social issue of feline appropriation.
We also put our political predictions where our Trump is, by calling the results of the US election. Tim does anyway. Maynard is busy thinking about his Pseudo Echo support gig in March.

Bunga Bunga 56 returns for 2020 to save you from an expensive haircut.
Tim Ferguson is sporting the latest look in Summer festival fashion, his sustainable “conflict haircut”. No one died for the look he has this month, described by Green Left Weekly as “no justice, no pants”.
We introduce you to the newest member of the Bunga Bunga family:
Only the big issues in Bunga Bunga 56. We answer your Crankmail, find it more difficult than usual to launder money thru Westpac, and ask Tim if he owes Scott Morrison an apology.
This year’s Coldest 100 tunes mentioned in the show.

DJ Mark Alsop has been a favourite DJ across Australia for 36 years. He started in Oxford Street, Sydney and is a valued member of the GLBT community. In this show he has some stories, dirt and music to share. So listen up and meet his dog, Boo Boo.
Boo Boo isn’t spoilt. He’s just well looked after.
Coming to you from Mark’s undisclosed location, it’s a podcast full of tales you might not have heard and just some of the music Mark loves. We perhaps answer that burning social issue; What is the gayest track ever?
With decades of experience in the Sydney DJ box, here’s sure fire advice on the one thing NEVER to do in a club:
Don’t type your request out in size five font on your phone that only a fifteen year old can read, then wave it around in front of the DJ booth like a monkey.
His views on marriage:
I’m a big homosexual. What would I be doing marrying a woman?
AND finally find out how we feel about people asking for requests:
People asking for requests… that never ends well.

There’s that time he was filmed in bed with a woman as well:

Tim and Maynard return with Bunga Bunga 55 just in time to advise the Australian Labor Party on their future AND blame their election loss on the catchy jingle they DIDN’T use.
Tim is going to Hobart, Maynard is going Village People (again).
Bunga Bunga doesn’t obsess over popular culture, we obsess obsessively over UNpopular culture.
We raise trivial issues of great importance including (but are not limited to):
Sir Lawrence Olivier, girl guides, Law & Order’s obsession with our podcast, what happens when Batman goes on holiday, Tim in a barrel, the sanctity of marriage/Star Wars, Apollo 11, the Hammond organ and the unearthly sound of Maynard’s possibly haunted harmonica.
