The MAG Down Under Variety Hour!

[King of Podcasting]

It's here, and it's spectacular!

[Short-Stacked Shamus]

Loved it! I give the first episode 26-and-a-half beans out of 29!

And really, it couldn't have sounded better than on my seven-tube Philco Model 20 Baby Grand receiver!

[littlemaths]

Seven tubes?! How fancy. How Philco.

Glad you dug it. I had a ball, so hopefully we'll have a chance to put together an episode two sooner or later.

Here is some more feedback, from my mum:

"Listened to your variety hour podcast Ep.1. Most entertaining. I still love your giggle! Siobahn has a natural radio voice, and you are ALL STARS. Am a proud Mum! "

Thanks mum.

It was a lot of fun...and then the gruebells happened. The Road to Medicine Hat kinda made up for it. Kinda.

[littlemaths]

The Groobles went down even worse than I expected.

[BoDuley]

Oh wow, that was a variety hour! This was completely unexpected. Everyone sang! Craziness! Zaniness! Madcap!

[BoDuley]

Alistair, you clearly put a lot of effort into it, and it shows. There was never a dull moment.

[littlemaths]

Thank you sir! It was labour intensive, but nothing is too much work when it comes to bringing joy to MAGnation.

[BoDuley]

Is it a pre-req that you have sing to be on the show? And for the record, no completely sane person concocts the Groobles. I never realized you were so unhinged before. We must be related somehow.

[littlemaths]

You have to sing, but you don't have to be good. The really crazy thing about The Groobles is that I honestly thought I was doing a fairly straight children's tale. I didn't realise it would be so terrifying for Jeff and Siobhan. I wasn't even trying to be terrifying. That said, I might start trying now.

Speaking of terrifying, I found this while hunting around for Talent Spectacular contestants. I won't be using it on the show, but I really felt like other people needed to know about this. Because I don't want to be the only one who knows that Rhubarb Bear, Calamity Cougar, Maximus and Matsi Woof sang about their favorite breakfast foods at Mephit Fur Meet's Masquerade talent show, on September 1st, 2012.
