Jeff & Ryan throw the book at Linda Kelsey on this episode of MASH Matters! Linda played Lt. Mickey Baker in the season 5 episode "The Nurses." Linda's M*A*S*H memories include marveling at Loretta Swit's iconic speech, blowing her audition, smooching with Gregory Harrison, and sustaining an injury while filming a pivotal scene. We also discuss her five-time Emmy-nominated role on Lou Grant, the genius of Gene Reynolds, and her recent return to the stage. Plus, Jeff & Ryan close out the episode with a long-awaited announcement!

Let's bust another M*A*S*H myth! In this episode, Jeff & Ryan chat with author Marc Freeman and the one and only Mike Farrell to discuss the on-set disagreement that led to BJ & Hawkeye's riff in the episode "Preventative Medicine." Did it come to blows? How was the situation resolved? And, in a fight, would Mike lead with his left or his right? We also discuss other topics including BJ's surliness, Marc's experience on the set as a child, Mike's new ebook, the article that inspired MASH Matters, and, of course, the mustache.

What goes into reviving a long-out-of-print cookbook? Ask Arthur Healey! In this episode, Jeff & Ryan talk to the man responsible for bringing Jeff's cookbook, Secrets of the M*A*S*H Mess: The Lost Recipes of Private Igor back from the paperback graveyard. We dive into the challenges of acquiring publishing rights, searching for photos from M*A*S*H scenes that don't exist, adding new recipes (and losing a few), and spending hundreds of hours restoring a beloved book. Mister Rogers even contributes to the story, too!
