Planet Maynard

Bunga Bunga, the show in search of a reason returns for 2016 like a lost pet that poops on your floor. Tim Ferguson speaks out from his Fortress of Arrogance about movies (especially the one with Village People) reviewers (hint; he doesn’t like them) and handy hints for travellers (don’t swallow your passport).

Maynard & Tim have a lot to say about Weird Al Yankovic, The Greens, pan pipes, bug out bags & yes, Savage Garden.

And in what is sure to become a heart warming family moment Tim explains to Maynard what an aphorism and a phoofer gun is.

You won’t learn a thing by the end of Bunga Bunga 21, but you will be wiser.

Weird Al Yankovic played the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Saturday night to a packed crowd of chanting Weird Al fans. I got in the middle of them and found out that Al is more loved, by more people, of all ages than ever.

The dress code for the night was loud and the headgear; tinfoil.

Thanks to everyone for allowing me to accost them with my microphone, and to the man himself Al.

Weird Al Yankovic toured Australia for the first time in 2003. Maynard first met Al on a promotional tour to Australia in 1989, for his movie UHF. Maynard caught up with Al again backstage at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. Polka time people!

Weird Al Yankovic is touring Australia again in January, see you there.I’ll be recording interviews with fans and perhaps Al himself at the Sydney show. So if you see me, come say “polka” and get on Planet Maynard.

John Blaxland has an extensive background in Joint Intelligence Operations for Australia and has authored volume two of The Official History of Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. John Blaxland covers the protest years of 1963-1975. Maynard is paranoid, has he got anything to worry about? What can we learn from the way ASIO has behaved in the past that may point to the way they will behave in the future? What of their comrades in ASIS and the Signals Intelligence Unit?

Adam Ant answered questions in this Maynard interview from 1990 about manners, fashion, his dating status, but most importantly, undies. He knows why women love 1940s boxer shorts on men.
