Going MAD (Magazine, That Is) - Featuring Craig Peters!

This episode of The Outdated Entertainment Hour will debut on April Fool’s Wednesday – and what better way to celebrate such a genuine non-holiday than another visit from magazine pro Craig Peters for a discussion of one of the few genuinely funny print publications of our time: MAD Magazine, of course! From Alfred E. Newman to parodies of TV shows and films, MAD was “cheap,” hilarious, and innovative, thanks to the “usual gang of idiots” that kept it going for decades. It’s a deep dive into MAD Magazine (what a collection of MAD stuff Craig has!) on the new Outdated Entertainment Hour podcast, available wherever you get your shows and fresh throwing produce.

A History Of Steely Dan - With Steve Gennarelli!

It’s a deep dive into one of rock music’s most unique groups on the newest episode of The Outdated Entertainment Hour With Bob Smith. Elite podcaster Steve Gennarelli again joins the show via phone call to talk about one of the most influential American bands of all time in Steely Dan. Led by a pair of free thinkers in Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, this group melded rock, R&B, jazz, and some rather obtuse lyrics to create a sound unlike any group before or since. It’s one fan’s personal memories of an unforgettable band, as well as notes and facts about Steely Dan you may have never heard before.
