Halloween 2023 – “Tag, you’re it!” Reverend David and his co-host Igor, zombie goldfish extraordinaire, bring you a Halloween special of spooky Big Band tracks! After somewhat of a hiatus they finally get together to produce a show, and give news for future episodes. All tracks are listed as played, so listen in and hear the delectable sounds of Benny Goodman, Eartha Kitt, Cab Calloway, Ethel Merman, Bing Crosby with Boris Karloff, and many more! Tag, you’re it.
Halloween 2021 – The Power of Three. Reverend David and Igor bring a special episode prior to their Halloween celebrations, and subsequent seasonal libations. Not only are there a plethora of Big Band Jazz, but a visit from David’s closest friends Bob and Kent, the co-hosts on his other show Metal Breakfast Radio. These fine fellows bring along a slightly different selection of Jazz offerings, which we are absolutely positive you will find equally as delectable and desirable as the rest of the show. On this special you’ll hear the likes of Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Vera Lynn, and finally a rather ominous portent. But not to worry, it’s probably nothing. Keep calm and carry on.
Episode 9. – Day Of The Haddocktor. A wonderful Walpurgisnacht to one and all!
