Planet Maynard

Richard Wilkins has it all. Good looks, a long successful career and a lot of things we wouldn’t mind having ourselves. So why does everyone take the piss? Since he’s just released two 80s albums, now is a good time to ask, while he’s returning my calls. This might not happen for a while.

The Jam Tarts, Mr Floppy and Atlantic Ocean are some of your requests on the show. Also a graphic warning on the dangers of amyl nitrate. Wooh!

Join Maynard & Tony Push as they take your favourite Madd Club period requests and remind you of a much stranger time: The 90s.

Tim Ferguson has been a funny guy all his life. Whether as part of Doug Anthony All Stars or producing shows for ABC & Foxtel. His new book tells you how to be funny, get rich and maybe even get laid. The Cheeky Monkey is almost as good as being in his screenwriting class at RMIT, except you don’t get to check out his hot ass.

Maynard & Tony Push wrap up the Madd Club night from a bus stop in Glebe with the help of Mel & Kim. Share the highs and the lows and the Posh Spice Pinyata “incident”

Brian Dunning broadcasts from his hot tub of truth every week, Skeptoid throws scientific enquiry onto the world of woo. But how do you keep your friends? And why would you want to set yourself up for this kind of aggravation? Brian Dunning was happy to tell.

The Sydney Powerhouse opened their 80s pop culture exhibit in Novenber & I was there to capture some voices from the vault. DJ Scott Pullen, RAT Party Guru Jac Vidgeon, Wally the sexbomb barmaid & DJ, and Lance Leopard a blogger from a time before blogs. Even found time for a lost classic from 1989.

The legendary Madd Club returns to Middlebar, Kinselas, Taylor Square, Sat 30th Jan 2010. Maynard & Geoff The Shopkeeper preview some of the poorly thought out music they will be playing & Maynard reflects upon the greatest band ever –  Right Said Fred.

Win yourself a double pass by emailing Maynard with your best Madd Club story or suggestion for his flawed playlist.

Or just turn up on the 30th wearing a Snuggie or a Slanket for half price entry.

It kicks off at 9pm and Maynard will probably be kicked out about 1am.

A request from a listener for The Dream Warriors our favourite Canadian indigenous rappers. Maynard & Geoff The Shopkeeper also praise Italio House and your chance again to test your 90s dance music memory in Are You Peaking, Like I’m Peaking? Bring your own drugs as usual. Ours might be a bit too strong, which explains the 1989 photo above. Gumby looks better than either of us.

Take a trip (we did) back to the Hordern dance party days in Sydney 88-92ish with Geoff The Shopkeeper and look at some of the great songs brought to us by Betty Boo and other female dance artists of the time. Bring your own drugs.
