Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:35:56 We had a great time at the Two Chairs No Waiting Meetup over at the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival this past weekend.

Chris has been working for almost 4 years on this film and he has done the fans of The And...

Ron Howard had a birthday this week (March 1st) so I thought it only fitting that we talk a little about him. Turns out that two other folks from Mayberry also had birthdays on March 1st. Aaron Ruben and Paul Hartman so we can't leave them out on the happy birthday wishes. Finally, someone VERY special to Ron Howard also celebrates a birthday only one day after his own. Listen to find out who. Bon...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:40:05 It has been 14 years since the great Don Knotts left this world. It was Feb 24, 2006 when he passed away and it's been since 2014 that an episode of this podcast was dedicated to remembering him which is too long to go without honoring this amazing man. I'm going to share some of my memories of Don Knotts and then we'll hear from Jim Clark with his memorie...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:32:46 We recently lost a fellow Mayberry citizen. Jack Burns played Floyd Lawson's nephew Warren Ferguson for a time in Mayberry. He was called on to follow Don Knotts in the role of a deputy in Mayberry and that was certainly a thankless job. Nobody could replace Barney . We also lost Gene Reynolds who directed three episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and Fred...

Next up we'll hear an interview that aired recently on...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:38:09 I was looking around on the Mayberry.info site and found information about actors who appeared on The Andy Griffith Show as different characters.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:31:44 I've been looking through my files lately to see what treasures I might find. I recently ran across some articles from 1999 from papers and magazines and I thought they might be fun to share with you.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:18:57 I'm going to tell you a story that means alot to me. It's about Don Knotts and about Andy Griffith saying in several interviews that his greatest joy during The Andy Griffith Show was going to work each day and seeing Don Knotts turn into Barney Fife.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:13:11 The Golden Arm is a folktale appearing in cultures through oral tradition.
