Planet Maynard

Maynard returns to the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 1993. Broadcast rather excitedly on Triple J across Australia on Sunday, 4th April. A two and a half hour spectacular Sunday Afternoon Fever show from the “Scott Carne Suite”, otherwise known as Studio 320 at ABC Melbourne. With a live audience that are up for it. Just what that is, you’ll find out. The live house band for the s...

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 La...

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...

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 Tr...

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: Meet Kitler 2. As Tim says in the...

Australia’s Coldest 100 returns on 25th January with some of the weirdest music Australia has ever spawned. The Coldest 100 was the creation of Andrew Sholl on Twitter in 2016 and has been the embarrassing family member at the barbecue of Triple J’s Hottest 100 ever since. Anyone can have a guess at the hottest song of the year. But who has ever nominated Margarita Pracatan or Daryl Somers p...

The Sydney Hellfire Club, clearly one of the most interesting nightclubs on the Sydney scene, has called it a night after 27 years (or 26 years and 10 months, if you want to be pedantic). Master Tom and Ultra sat down after the final party on 27th December and told the reason why they are ending their successful run. Also just a few stories from a version of Sydney nightlife that won’t be back in...

Tim Ferguson and Maynard bring you A Very Recalcitrant Xmas 2019 , the Xmas show that doesn’t really want to be here. Tim wants Lego for Xmas, Maynard doesn’t even want Xmas for Xmas. Ferguson has his usually spot on predictions for next year, remember he has correctly called every Australian election this century. To help along the way we have podcast friends from around the world dro...

Unheard since December 1989, Australian legend Barry Crocker live on the Maynard breakfast show on Triple J. A Very Barry Crocker Xmas has is all, Barry sings with Adeva, advises you on personal security while travelling and gives some 1989 fashion tips. Barry brings all the festive foolish fun and good humour he is known for as well as a Xmas tune from Damien Lovelock that Barry eventually loved....

Dave Mulligan brings you an uncool yule when he returns with 3 great songs for the holiday season, or so he thinks. Dave Mulligan is a 50s and 60s record collector, mainly 45s, and every year Maynard asks him to share a few that you don’t normally hear at this time of year. Or ever really. Maynard and Dave Mulligan apologise and wish you a very Uncool Yule. Have a listen to Dave Mulligan&#82...

Kylie Minogue’s Enjoy Yourself tour played Sydney on 5th February 1990. I was there to cover it for my Triple J breakfast show the next morning. Some of the interviews you’ll hear in this audio never made the breakfast show that next morning (the Dad from Stroud for example). People who can spot talent realise Kylie’s not trying to preach from a soapbox. She’s just a young...

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 tale...

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 includi...

My first weekend with Absolutely 80s working in Sydney (they are back in August) was a reintroduction to Brian Mannix (Uncanny X-Men), Scott Carne (Kids in the Kitchen), Dale Ryder (Boom Crash Opera) & Sean Kelly (Models). The Dee Why and Cronulla shows showed the kind of 80s glam I don’t get to see first hand all that often. Brian Mannix onstage at Dee Why during Absolutely 80s show. Br...

What kind of a CD does an adult buy? Tim & 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 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 and answe...

Those desperately seeking Lance Leopard need listen no further than this podcast as Lance returns to talk all things fashion, faux pas and fabulousness. Maynard is desperately seeking legendary Oxford St legend Lance Leopard in his credenza filled rooftop garden ivory tower of gossip. There are movies, dancing, some singing, and of course talk of Madonna and Elizabeth Taylor. Lance Leopard reads y...

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. The two are very impressed by Madonna’s acting/hair colour. 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....

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 to Adelaide & Brisbane. Maynard is going to his Loveshack in a hand basket. We talk about the Moon, bananas & Sup...

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. If I can’t wear this tie tonight. Then when? The resulting Planet Maynard podcast is from the dozen people I spok...

The Coldest 100 was the creation of Andrew Sholl on Twitter in 2016 and has been the Giddy Uncle of Triple J’s Hottest 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? Andrew only does this on Twitter (he has a real job) and releases his Coldest 100 in p...

Bunga Bunga 51 brings you all the hope and excitement of 2019. Thus making you really nostalgic for 2018 almost immediately. 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 in January as we venture into a very certain uncertain political landscape. Maynard is starting a new Saturday night of retro groov...

Put the ass back in Xmass with this non child friendly Maynard traditional holiday favourite from 2010. Two guys, a bus stop and a microphone makes it the suckiest kingdom of them all! The post A Very Maynard Xmas 2010 appeared first on Planet Maynard .

Maynard & Tony Push bring you Xmas greetings from their favourite bus stop recording studio. Also exciting music reveals The Dirty Disbelievers, a new show in 2012. The second half of the show may have too much poultry in it, but that’s for you to decide. The post A Very Maynard Xmas 2011 appeared first on Planet Maynard .

Maynard and Tony Push wander aimlessly around local bustops at Xmas trying to remember what was good about 2012 and wonder what else will go wrong in 2013. Random. With lots of Maynard’s favourite sounds. The post A Very Maynard Xmas 2012 appeared first on Planet Maynard .

Prepare ye for an Uncool Yule with Dave’s Dud Xmas Discs, Dave Mulligan brings you a poorly thought out selection of Xmas goose that made the 50s, 60s & 70s what they are today. These tracks will have you singing, dancing & maybe prancing. But you will feel the secret shame of Santa and wonder about the power of Xmas to compel this kind of music creation. 100% Xmas and 100% shameless...
