Pull up a chair and cock an ear to the latest episode of Goon Pod! This week Tyler is joined by Paul Abbott of the Head Ballet and Big Beatles Sort Out podcasts to rhapsodise about one of the best-known and most fondly remembered Goon Shows of all time: The Whistling Spy Enigma from 1954.
We explore the show itself, the characters and gags and acknowledge how this show marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Goons. As Paul is a huge music enthusiast we naturally spend some time talking about Ray, Max and the orchestra and we even at one point stray dangerously close to a proper conversation about football! There’s also an intriguing insight into how American children reacted to hearing the Goon Show for the first time!
