    EP 85: Wang Chung's Nick Feldman

    This Ep: Special Guest: Nick Feldman of Wang Chung Across the nation & around the world, in an in-depth interview with Nick Feldman, Greg gets to the bottom of what it really means to "Wang Chung tonight". Feldman & lead-singer Jack Hues formed Huang Chung in 1980 [later Wang Chung after a tip from David Geffen] and quickly became the quintessential 80's Brit-band. They Wang-Chunged their way to US-chart success with the album "Points on the Curve" & became a pop tour de force that shaped the musical tastes of millions of Gen-X'ers.  Caution: Episode includes a super-fun edition of "6 Degrees of Wang Chung-aration" ... so listen in & play along!

    Episode 81: "Can't Help Loving The Jamz, The Hip, and The Tangerine"

    This Ep: Special Guest[s]: Jim Kozyra & Chris Petlak - from hit Netflix series "The Jamz" + Karac Hendriks Being solid Gen-X'ers, growing up on WKRP in Cincinnati, MTV & News Radio [ok, maybe we were 'all growns up' for the last one], and at least one of us having a solid 25 year career in TV & Radio broadcasting...we have a deep appreciation of the radio-genre.  Which brings GA into contact with "Jay-Jay" [Petlak] & "Fitzy" [Kozyra] from 101.7 "The JAMZ", Chicago's #1-rated [fictionally] radio station.  The critically acclaimed 4-part 'teaser' series debuted on Netflix in 2016 has us looking forward to a full season soon! Plus Jim shares with us the 'magic of audio' by hitting an imaginary 350 yard tee shot while playing golf during the interview [he spiked the shot on the tee-box]. Plus, old friend Karac Hendriks stops by to talk the magic of "The Tangerine" [bank], the Tragically Hip, and his new single "Can't Help Loving You...Greg?" just in time for this year's CCMA Awards in London, ON.  Caution: There's no money** in listening to this episode...but on your deathbed...you'll achieve total consciousness. Which is nice.  [**Editor's Note: There actually might be $50 in it for you if you sign-up with Tangerine Bank using our special activation code. But act fast, that $50 is only around till Sept. 15!]

    This Ep: Special Guest[s]:  Tyson & Audy Leavitt - Stars of TLC's new series Playhouse Masters "And what to our wandering eyes does appear...but Tyson & Audy with their Charmed Playhouses team here!" Yes Virginia [and the other 49 states], there is a Santa Claus. Or at least if you want a "Santa's Workshop" style playhouse, then Charmed Playhouses of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada can probably make that happen! This episode GA interviews the humble husband & wife team behind these resplendent renderings of reverie who are taking the time-tested concept of 'playhouses' into the realm of Fantasy. They are doing such a good job of it, that their creative craftsmanship has landed them a gig as stars of their own TLC Network TV show "Playhouse Masters" which debuts everywhere on Tues. Aug. 23, 2016! Caution: This episode may induce fits of 'why can't I' in grown adults.

Next up GA is joined by Global Ambassador of Positivity Spandy Andy who, along with his fiance "Shimmy Kimmy", talks about getting engaged, in-laws, world travel [including a stop at the Rio2016 Olympics] and budgy smuggling.  Finally, we pick up where GA left off with police informant turned author Paul Derry on the high stakes involved in wearing a wire to gather evidence.

    Episode 78: Show You The Money! [Banking Fees Ate My Homework]

    This Ep: Special Guest:  Paul Derry author of "Inside a Police Informant's Mind" This episode is quite the 'informative' one. First, GA is joined by show Executive Producer, the mysterious "Ken Adams" [a pseudonym for sure!] who pulls back the curtains on the high banking fee racket, little or no interest rate schemes, and the highly classified secret offer we have to actually PAY YOU $50 for listening! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to the offer and accept our invitation to receive $50 for free by upgrading your everyday banking choices. [seriously].  In keeping with the 'undercover' nature of this episode we also welcome a fascinating guest, Paul Derry, who 'wrote the book' [literally] on what it is like to become a police informant as they investigate some of the highest level criminal organizations.  Caution: This episode contains plenty of valuable intel that is both profitable and mind-blowing. GAR-OWN-TEED!
