Had a great chat the other day with Steve Davis on The Adelaide Show Podcast. Listen to it here.
We talked in depth about writing for Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell. I went into the finer details about how I wrote that Bunnings Conspiracy fake ad and discussed what makes a good ‘out of context footage’ joke.
Also touched on working in radio, Good Afternoon Adelaide, VHS Revue and old Adelaide TV commercials like Southern Music Centre, Force Electronics and Cunningham’s Warehouse.
Enjoy!

I’ve made a few guest appearances on radio shows and podcasts this year (and there are more to come) as part of my one man VHS Revue publicity tour. Here are a couple of links.
I joined the folks on Ep 45 of the ‘Champagne Comedy Podcast’ discussing The Late Show, Frontline, Mad as Hell and comedy/TV/radio more generally. Also spent quite a bit of time talking about G-codes.
And really enjoyed talking with Alex Gates about my Goosebumps books and VHS Revue. You can listen to our chat on his podcast ‘Gattsy on Goosebumps’ right here.

Earlier this week I caught up with the very talented Francis Greenslade in my favourite Melbourne suburb in terms of pronunciation: Elsternwick. We chatted for an hour about insects, acting, Blue Heelers, Winners & Losers, Shaun Micallef, sketch comedy, theatre, musical instruments and other related things.
Fortunately, this fascinating conversation was recorded and you can hear it all in the latest episode of David M. Green & Other Famous People. Available on iTunes, as well as in the player embedded below:

Sans Slade.
Hold on to your pants because it’s a brand new episode of The Good Show! The sketch comedy podcast with Anthony’s McCormack and the me guy.
In Ep 4, we’re joined “live” in Studio Pleasant by special guest controversial commentator Andrew Bolt; Anthony reveals his new brand of Special Water; Babysitting with Michael Wincott; a paid political message from a minor political party; plus we give you the outside scoop on 31 Questions, Big Brother and the flimsy relationship between those two TV programmes.
It’s also got the most absurdly over-produced intro theme in the history of The Good Show, if not all shows that are good (It took me 6 hours to edit the first 65 seconds!). I’ve wanted to do a ridiculous over-produced “wall-of-sound-esque” intro for a while. Something that just makes fun of commercial radio imaging. Because really, it’s worthy of ridicule. I even blended in a few grabs from some American radio promos circa 1986/87, courtesy of YouTube and some guy with a cassette tape.
You can listen to Ep 4 of The Good Show, entitled “Andrew Bolt Loves Animals” via this embedded player thing:

Or you can listen, download AND SUBSCRIBE to The Good Show on iTunes.
As hilarious and elaborately edited as our sketches are, I suspect it’ll be the cameo from Australia’s most read political blogger that’ll get people talking. So for your convenience, I’ve taken the liberty of isolating Andrew Bolt’s appearance on The Good Show.
Here is my gift to the Internet:

Been hanging on to that one for a while.
It’s taken 16 months but FINALLY, we have a new episode of The Good Show, my sketch comedy podcast with TV’s Anthony McCormack.
They say 9 out of 10 podcasts fail within their first 5 episodes. Don’t ask me who said that. I don’t know. Actually, I suppose I said that. Yeah, you can just quote me.
Although, I’d like to see the stats on how many podcasts are put on hold due to no access to a studio AND because the hosts are too busy making TWO seasons of a TV show… Though I suspect the answer is The Good Show.
Episode 3 can be acquired via this direct link, or on the iTune, or through this handy player thing:

Among sketches about cheeseburgers, tractors and expensive hookers, Anthony and I also discuss our upcoming second season of 31 Questions – the TV game show of that name.
In fact, the Season 2 PREMIER EPISODE is on Channel 31 Melbourne & Geelong this Saturday 27 July 8.30PM! That’s a convenient 90 minutes earlier than last year’s time slot.
At this time I can also tell you 31 Questions will air in Perth on WTV at the dangerously family-friendly time of Sundays 11.30AM from August 4, with a repeat Mondays 3.30PM from August 5. We’re apparently going for the early crowd over in WA.
Across the Tasman Sea, catch 31 Questions in New Zealand on Face Television Wednesdays 9.30PM from August 14. And if you hop a plane to Sydney, you can watch it again on TVS Thursdays 9.30PM from August 15.
Still waiting to get our time slots from 44 Adelaide and 31 Digital Brisbane. There may also be some extra repeat time slots, but I can assure you once I get them, I’ll keep them secret and refuse to give them to you.
And did I mention we were on the TV Tonight website?
Just ignore the bit where he lapses back into the press release.
