Episode 275 – Neil Innes

Posted on September 12, 2018 by Jason Klamm

I don’t know where to start, except to say that Neil Innes is a human pop culture hub of the 60s. His own brilliant work with the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band collided creatively with both pre-Python Monty Python and The Beatles, and holds up equally well. It comes together in a brilliant meta piece of comedy art when he writes and performs the music for, and acts in, The Rutles.

Posted on August 29, 2018 by Jason Klamm

We’ve only lost a few episodes over almost 300 shows, but we’ve never scrapped one. Scott White kindly came back after his first, unaired appearance in which there was some massive confusion on the part of your host and we had a great talk about an album I now love. Enjoy.

Episode 267 – Family Albums Episode 1 – Rand Huguely on Jay Huguely

Posted on July 19, 2018 by Jason Klamm

This episode is the first in a mini-series we’re calling Family Albums, where we talk to the family and close friends of folks who made comedy albums, or album. We want to discover the lives behind these often obscure albums, which themselves are usually just a small blip in creative and fascinating lives.

This week, we talk with Rand Huguely, whose father, Jay Huguely, took a failed ad campaign and made a number one record out of it. We talk about Jay’s life, in and outside of entertainment, including his work on Magnum, P.I. and the role of a lifetime, Don Quixote (pictured above, to the right of Cledus Maggard)).
