As I've mentioned from time to time, I am a big fan of The Firesign Theater.

The Firesign Theatre are contemporary with the start of Roy's career, except they are four comedian/satirists with about as many recorded albums as ROY.

Peter Bergman has reincarnated his 1960's LA-radio show "Radio Free OZ" with brand new podcasts, 5 nights a week. His co-host Dave Ossman is also a member of FST. RFO's first new episode was "Earth Day" 22 April 2010. It's opening theme, for now, is a reggae inspired lament "O, Afghanistan!"

Many of you may enjoy the mostly talk format with eclectic songs mixed in. The show is a liberal POV on current events, rich with political humor, satire, and silly spoofs. I hope this will catch-on and these guys will exceed the magic chemistry that was uniquely FST.

A couple years back, FST began to reunite in an undeclared 40th anniversary tour of their various early albums. Philip Proctor is the self-declared American Don Quixote, just as Roy is the English version! Philip AUSTIN is the voice of their most famous character NICK DANGER -- Third Eye.

Other podcast titles include:

It Takes A Volcano To Frighten A Village!
Cranking Up The Yuan While Breaking A Good Man's Will
Pot Party At The Cow Palace
Cinco De Mayo, But For You Folks, $4.99

I tried to suggest they play a Roy tune, but I'm not sure my suggestion got through as I don't tweet or facebook, and they were de-bugging their new site and adapting their podcast for iTunes.

BTW, Paul. I left a comment for you on iTunes! Neither you nor RFO has cracked the threshold for a rating. I want to cry! :banghead:

This ICON-ic image is FST's favorite (third) comedy album!

The Ram is Phil, whereas the Lion is Phil. The Archer on the left is Peter, the Archer on the right is Dave.

"Sure, the MEEK will inherit the Earth, if you can stop the RICH from contesting the will!"

Now they have "Best of..." episodes every Friday, starting w/ 7 May, which includes a SENATE hearing about Wall Street where a Congressman's Rant is edited to highlight his many S-bombs in a funny way.

This episode also ends with mention of the ACTUAL legalization of Medical Marijuana in D.C. and its potential side effects! John McCain after a long "dose..." "I nominated WHO for my running mate!?..."

I can't keep commenting on this alternate podcast by myself!...:biggrinjester:

Or can I?....:reddevil:
