We’re thrilled to be back recording PodStallions after some truly turbulent times. Today’s show is all about our mutual love for the Monkee’s, although neither of us were alive for the show’s original run we were both hooked on reruns and records during the middle 1970s. We kick off the show playing catch up and […]
That communicator works up to ten feet away! I’m telling you technology will never get any better….
I really don’t have a lot to say today other than the sight of Fisher Price Adventure People never fail to make me happy. This ad is from 1975 when “collect em all” meant “four sets”.

It’s episode 42, we’re both entirely too nerdy not to do an episode devoted to Douglas Adam’s seminal “Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” series. Jason and Brian talk up the books, radio dramas, the BBC TV series and of course, the big budget movie from 2005. Along the way we veer off into Doctor […]
