Weekend Discussion Thread: Podcast/Radio Guests/Hosts

Alert reader Ryan aka cityofvoltz suggestsL

Who would you want to co-host your podcast — or who would you want as a guest on your podcast?

Similarly, Who would you want on your radio morning show (as co-hosts), and what would you name said radio show?

So, you can answer either one or both of the podcast questions and/or the radio question.

Me, I think the perfect morning radio co-hosts would be the peeping privates from “Attack of the the Eye Creatures. And that’s what they’d be called: The Peeping Privates.

What’s your choice?

    I think good co-hosts would be Sinbad and Hercules (Steve Reeves). You need someone who can always provide some wisdom or a good story (also, Sinbad might give me the “drinking ale” test!). I’d call it “The Epic Morning Show with Sinbad, Herc, & Drew”.

    My first guests would be Evan and Nastya to find out where they went on their honeymoon and get Evan’s take on his mother-and-law.

    Then I’d bring out Joe from “Industrial Arts” to take a few calls from the audience with their questions about home maintenance.

    Finally, Dr. Wainright to see if he’s made any atomic breakthroughs.

    Hot show!!

    I can think of two people. The first is the president in the movie “Invasion, U.S.A.”. Now, there is a live wire. Looks good from the back, also. (or, not)

    The second person would be “Steam Roller Smith”, from “The Giant Gila Monster.” Already in the business, so would give legitimacy to the broad(pod)cast.

    BTW: #1, sounds like a good show!

    Guests: Amy of Hobgoblins, to see how her life changed after
    she saw how much fun it was being slutty. Daphne, did she
    maintain her dominance in sluttiness over newbie Amy.

    And also the most likeable character (granted not much of a contest)
    Roadrash, to discuss how he grew his Smut Empire together with
    Gloria of The Sinister Urge, who plea bargained her way out of what
    was ruled a case of entrapment by the police. (The da decided to
    clean house by appointing Klein as the new police chief).

    The weird old guy from Werewolf. “Strange things a-comin!” He would keep us all entertained with his many talents of prediction and musicality.

    I think a Pod People morning drive-time show would be a hoot. Tommy and Trumpy of course make a great team, with Tommy endlessly asking him questions about the world and Trumpy ignoring him. Occasionally the kid would go on about his bugs and animals, like a nature show.

    IN the afternoons, Old Guy (Bill?) and Rock Star Guy could team up, much as they did in the movie. Old guy would complain about everything, then throw it over to Leather Pants for his opinion, who will invariably say, “It Stinks!”

    My morning radio show would be called “Good Morning, Canada! (Eh?)” and would have the fine duo of Rowsdower and Pipper from The Final Sacrifice. Rowz could cover automotive tips, beer reviews, and the fashion beat — mullets, tattoos, and bleached jeans. The Pip would cover horseback riding and other sports, home decorating tips, cooking, and how to draw a big stupid X on a map.

    The only problem I could see with this is that Troy would constantly be calling in. “Rowsdower! Rowsdower. Rowsdower?? ROWSDOWER!!!”

    I would have to have Smolkin from the “Undead” as my morning DJ with his cheerful grave digging songs to wake you up. I would pair him with Tor Johnson! Between Smolkin’s songs and Tor’s “Time for to get up in the mooorning!” Truly a show for your drive time in the morning!

    I’d have a late night show like Coast to Coast AM with my co-host being Henry Krasker from “The Dead Talk Back”.

    Our guest for the first half of the show would be Nick Miller from the University of Castleton to talk about Time Travel.

    In the second half we’ll be talking to Doctor Brian Lockhart from the University of Arkansas about his encounter with the Boggy Creek Creature.

    Radio is the career I badly want, so this thread is right up my alley, Sampo. I thank you.

    I already had an idea for my own show before this thread was proposed, so I will use that. It’s a mix of talk and music, much like you would hear on full-service AM stations in the 60s and 70s, and I would let people call in to talk about whatever they liked (within reason. I would be very hesitant to accept calls to talk about religion or politics), and I think a good guest would be Ray MacKonnen (sp?). He could tell the callers whether he thought their opinions were good and beautiful.

    Today, our guests include Ray MacKonnen, and of course, as always, we follow my buddy Chris as he hikes across the country in our popular segment “Where’s Wolverine?” This is “Jimmy’s Forum.” Come on in!

    Oh, Torgo, definitely. Or maybe Mister B Natural: “And now, Foreigner, Rush, and Three Dog Night to put the SPIRIT OF MUSIC into ALL of YOU!”

    Or if you’re in a really nasty mood, how’s about the great team of Kathy Ireland and that old guy from CAVEDWELLERS?

  18. I’d have Ro-Man and the Great One do a Morning Zoo show.

    Great One: Have you played the record?
    Ro-Man: I need guidance, Great One. For the first time in my life, I don’t want to play a song.
    Great One: You sound like a hu-man, not a Ro-Man. Can you not play a request?
    Ro-Man: But Great One, it is for that terrible Nicki Minaj hu-man.
    Great One: Error! Error! We play requests from 8 to 10!
    Ro-Man: I cannot – yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do “must” and “cannot” meet? Yet I must – but I cannot!

    For my radio show I’d want Hugo and Vorelli. They could bicker back and forth between the modern dance music they’d play. I’m thinking something over the lunch hour, and perhaps calling it Ham Sandwich Hour with Hugo and Vorelli.

    Sam the Keeper, Mickey, Mickey the gardener, Torgo, Ortega and Lobo would be a great roster for a The View-like show. We could call it The Awkward. Moon would be the special guest who always freaks out.

  26. Being a big fan of the Shipping Forecast from BBC radio, as I find it a strangely soothing listen, I was thinking it’d be good to switch things up a little and have some guest announcers read the reports. There are sensible choices like NASA director Charles Keith, or either David Warner, but seeing as this is for fun let’s just say Rowsdower.

    Max Keller and John Peter McCallister. We all know their chemistry is off the charts. The electric dynamic between them seen in Master Ninja I and II proved these two can play off each other like maestros. JPM (as his legions of fans refer to him) always knows how to delight his audience, particularly when he utilizes Gleason-like comedic timing in choosing the perfect moment to dispense his signature advice…”kiss ’em.” Keller doesn’t play by the rules. Undeterred by a crippling speech impediment, Keller lets the rants fly. Whether it’s discussing fish hatchery politics, his time in Saigon or his vast experience in the motorbike racing world, Max isn’t afraid to speak out and stand up for what he believes in.

    This is an interesting topic for me, as I did sit in on a radio interview with Joel. A friend had booked Joel, but he knew nothing of MST3K or CT. So came in as the MSTie expert and my friend ask him questions about his days in Wisconsin!

    Back to the topic: I suppose I would interview the ladies of Spider Island. ‘Nuff said.

    All I can say is that Pod cast race was a waste of time in that STAR WARS movie.
    My wife says I don’t know what I’m talking about, she says a Pod cast is not a race from the Star WARS movie.
    Oh I remember now, a Pod cast was what those groupies in the 60’s / 70’s use to make of the rock stars.
    No that was a plaster cast, I’m lost about this whole Podcast thing, I better go.

    I’d go with the the wacky not quite kid friendly morning show.

    1. Batwoman’s Radio that spouts out offensive/racist language impressions
    2. Evil Stepmother from Jack Frost- she can tell callers they are stupid
    3. Mega- Moustasche Cop from IT lives by NIGHT.

    and we’d call ourselves brood of vipers.

    Jan in the pan, could run a good Goth-industrial-metal music show- she just wants death.

    Ben Murphy could be the late night host on a bad Easy Listening FM station. “your mellow with…murphy”

    Catch all the hottest hits on Boggy Creek Breakfast, with your host, Bryant “Doc” Lockhart, featuring fact-checker Tanya and color-man Crenshaw…

    Doc: Here’s one of Tim’s favorites. The danceability rating is quite high for “Firework,” a big hit in… I believe it was 2009 or 10.

    Tanya: It was 10.

    Doc: That’s right.

    Crenshaw: That Katy Perry sho’ is a man’s kinda woman.
