Episode 361 – Nathan Rabin on Weird Al – In 3-D

Not even Weird Al knows as much about Weird Al as author and podcaster Nathan Rabin does.  He’s written more books on Weird Al than any of us have, and he has many thoughts about In 3-D.  This episode is a blast.

Episode 330 – Lisa Popeil on Bob Booker and George Foster – You Don’t Have to Be Jewish

Posted on by

Lisa is a voice teacher and a performer, who talks to me about working with Weird Al and Frank Zappa, including as a background singer on Al’s song about her father, “Mr. Popeil.”  I stand by my dumb food dehydrator joke, but for the record that one is Ron’s.

Episode 161 – Julia Prescott on Weird Al – Mandatory Fun

Posted on by

PrescottSD

Julia is a stand-up and the host of the Simpsons podcast “Everything’s Coming Up Podcast!” and she decided to do something unusual.  She picked an album only a year old – the newest vinyl album we’ve ever talked about on the show.  Weird Al’s Mandatory Fun, regardless of age, is classic Al, so that’s more than enough reason to talk about it at length.  We also discuss his live shows, what a nice guy is – all the usual stuff.

Episode 149 – Craig Rowin on Weird Al – Off The Deep End

Posted on by

Craig Rowin SDCraig Rowin of Your Pretty Face is Going To Hell drops by (and so do I, this was “on location” in Hollywood) to talk about Weird Al’s perfectly-timed “Off The Deep End.”  Now, before you write me an e-mail about this being a CD-era album, I’d advise you to go to the Netherlands.  Where they released this album on vinyl, apparently.  Craig squeaked it, but I’m glad he did.  This has one of my all-time top Weird Al songs, and we had a blast talking about (individually) meeting Weird Al, as well as, in his case, working with him.
