Maynard Productions

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.

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 goes to Hobart, Maynard goes 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 not limit...

My first weekend with Absolutely 80s working in Sydney was a reintroduction to Brian Mannix (Uncanny X-Men), Scott Carne (Kids in the Kitchen), Dale Ryder (Boom Crash Opera) & Sean Kelly (Models).

What kind of a CD does an adult buy? Tim Ferguson & Maynard have no idea. What kind of music wins an academy award? Maynard & Tim can only guess. Badly. Have Australian politics demystified, and find out which one of these two geese floats in Bunga Bunga 54. Tim is on sale and Maynard is going out the door at below cost as BB54 whistles a happy tune, warns you of Tim coming to a street near you an...

Maynard is desperately seeking legendary Oxford St legend Lance Leopard in his credenza filled rooftop garden ivory tower of gossip. There's movies, dancing, some singing, and of course talk of Madonna and Elizabeth Taylor's fragrance franchises.

In true Bunga Bunga fashion, Tim and Maynard get stuck into Tim’s huge new secret art project. It’s very big, very ambitious and very Ferguson. Tim confesses his personal 1985 journey from Punk to Madonna devotee. Maynard helps Kitler the Nationalist cat feel better. Recreational drugs aren’t just for mice anymore. In a bonus to all listeners Tim reveals his previously deeply guarded secrets of fi...

Bunga Bunga 52 brings a feast of things you can’t put in your mouth. Tim Ferguson & Maynard bring you the Moby Dick of podcasts. Without the Moby. You listener, are the whale. Bunga Bunga 52 is full of bad advice, bad language and questionable haircuts. Tim is touring. Maynard is going to his Loveshack in a hand basket. We talk about the Moon, bananas & Superdog pooping. What more can a rational l...

William Shatner charmed the frankly overexcited crowd that came from far and very wide to see his live solo show at The State Theatre in Sydney in October 2018. I grabbed my best Shatner tie and my 1969 BBC Star Trek puzzle book and knew I was going to be among my kind of people.

People all over Sydney are rushing, hushing and flushing to The Red Bar (upstairs) in Glebe for next Saturday, March 16th 8pm til midnight for Maynard’s Loveshack. Maynard the retro DJ behind the Madd Club and many other happenings over the decades, presents a night of shameless sounds that celebrate the pop and pretentiousness of the late 20th century. The legendary Lance Leopard will be choosing...

The Coldest 100 was the creation of Andrew Sholl on Twitter in 2016 and has been the Giddy Uncle of Triple J’s Hotest 100 ever since. Anyone can have a guess at the hottest song of the year, but who has ever nominated the Bunnings theme or Kylie Minogue performing her version of Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep? The Coldest 100 can best be described as questionable songs by Australians and about Australi...

Tim Ferguson & Maynard or Maynard & Tim Ferguson, but probably all four of them, have the starts and the smarts to show you a good time as we venture into a very certain uncertain political landscape. Maynard is starting a new Saturday night of retro grooves in Sydney at Red Bar in March and Tim is taking his new solo show on tour across Australia. Bunga Bunga 51 also leads you down the comedy bac...

I annoyed Charlie on the way to the beach and he proves once again he is much cooler than me.

Maynard and his fellow travellers present the most confusing fun you will have this festive season in A Very Very Bunga Bunga Xmas Xmas. Lance Leopard is very excited this Xmas about his new velour Playboy smoking jacket with matching pillow and credenza. Because if there’s one thing we know about Lance, he’s out to impress the ladies. Tim Ferguson took time out from whizzing round Australia teach...

Tijuana Taxi the Sydney sensational Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass cover band are returning to The Camelot Lounge in Marrickville to blow your bolero jacket off. Tina Harris has been a fan of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass since hearing her parents vinyl records as a child. Great instrumental tracks like Spanish Flea, The Lonely Bull, Casino Royale and This Guy’s In Love With You. As a party was...

Bunga Bunga 50, the highly anticipated and frankly overexcited 50th show calls to a world sick of reality and soundness of judgement. Tim Ferguson & Maynard remind you why and how Bunga Bunga has become the phenomenon it is today. With help from their famous (and not so famous) friends and stooges, enjoy some quality time with the pre-eminent names in Bunga since 2013.

Jack Marx thinks the Melbourne Cup ain't all it's cracked up to be. Does it really stop the nation? Does anyone care either way and is willing to bet on it?

David Rosenburg worked at the US/Australian "joint" facility, Pine Gap for 18 years as a signal analyst. He has been technical consultant to the ABC series currently screening and has (after heavy vetting) released a book about his time at Pine Gap. I thought it was a good time to ask some questions for the No Agenda show and see if I'm a subject of a FISA warrant again.

Bunga Bunga 49 has Tim Ferguson and Maynard heed the call of an Australia and a world in turmoil during dark and stormy times. They bring you plenty of Dutton, teach you how to be DJ and become a famous comedian, in just one half hour. What dance tunes does Maynard consider sure fire floor fillers? Why will he never play that Cold Chisel song? Can Tim explain the Australian political landscape in...

Bunga Bunga 48 sings to the world in a voice not unlike a cat locked out your house on a cold winter’s night. Listen to this show and you won’t get a good night’s sleep. Tim Ferguson and Maynard truely, madly and creepily change the history of Australia’s national anthem while disrespecting several other national anthems in the process. Of course your new national anthem doesn’t like us. But that’...

Bunga Bunga 47 proves you do get something for nothing. Tim Ferguson & Maynard have plenty of nothing and are happy to share it with you. Tim and Maynard save the Australian film industry, kidnap a member of the Royal family and Tim even has time to present TWO poems, one from his troublesome teenage years.

The Record Store in Goulburn Street, Darlinghurst is where you find Stephan Gyory (after 11am, “we keep civilised hours here”) surrounded by vinyl records of almost every genre (“but we don’t want your old Trance or Prog vinyl”) He’s been in the vinyl record trade since he started at BPM Records in Oxford St (above the old Army disposal store) in 1994. At one stage, in the late 90s, there were fou...

Sydney launch of Cinefest Oz. Tim and Maynard meet local actors directors and producers with some tips for getting through the off season. Hear Travis Jeffery (Spin Out), John Howard (everything) Carolyn Constantine (Madhattan), Thomas Cocquerel (In Like Flynn) and James Sweeney (Celebrations bottleshop, Newtown) explain how they make it through their part of the maze that is the Australian film i...

Tim Ferguson and Maynard in Bunga Bunga 46, a shenanigan that will live in infamy, answer the questions other podcasts even fear to speak aloud. We crack open our Crankmail. When is unfunny funny? Should you be polite to Hitler? Why can’t Tim Ferguson ever be friends with Paul McCartney? What music does Maynard really play in his VW? Plus speculation on $2 wine and Buddha’s bladder. Sure, it’s not...

Time for a serious Oxford Street lunch with Lance Leopard, but not till after an even more serious viewing of Valley of the Dolls, a movie Lance agrees is a “great starting point for any camp movie collection’. Join Maynard as he visits Lance Leopard, high in his ivory tower of scuttlebutt, where all secrets are hidden and revealed, overlooking the inhospitable wilds of Darlinghurst. Topics covere...
