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!

This Ep: Special Guest: Nick Van Eede of Cutting Crew
Greg goes in-depth with Nick Van Eede of iconic Brit-band Cutting Crew. Busting on the world music scene in 1986 with their album "Broadcast", Nick & Kevin MacMichael were the driving force behind this Grammy-nominated band's chart-topping success. Two songs, "[I Just] Died in Your Arms" (which hit #1 in Canada & US) and "I've Been In Love Before" (Top 10 in Canada & US) influenced an entire generation of Gen-X'ers in 1987 and continue to stand the test of musical time. Genuine Classics without a doubt. Caution: This episode includes saucy language, kazoo tales, and many great story's by a great story-teller!

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.
