Hobo Radio 380 – Benefits of a classical education

Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Die Hard, Featured, Harry Potter, Hobo Radio

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle pay tribute to David Bowie and Alan Rickman in their trademark stream-of-consciousness style (which means they also end up spending quite a bit of time talking about Stanley Tucci and Laura Linney).

They touch on Rickman’s biggest movie roles – including the Harry Potter franchise, Die Hard and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. They also talk about Bowie’s contribution to film, both on-screen and in soundtracks. And they do a WWE-themed MadLibs.

Does everyone talking about Rickman’s role in the Harry Potter series instead of Die Hard make you feel old? Is Waterworld underrated? Did any shenanigans happen during the recording of “Under Pressure”? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Featherlighter” by Lazlo Supreme

Hobo Radio Interview – Janet Varney

Audio Interviews, Burning Love, Catwoman, Celebrity Interviews, Featured, Hobo Radio, Janet Varney, Legend of Korra, You're the Worst

You’ve seen Janet Varney in memorable roles like Becca Barbara in You’re the Worst and Carly in Burning Love. And you’ve heard her voice as the titular Korra in The Legend of Korra. But her acting career almost didn’t come to be. It was only after her friends convinced her to join their comedy troupe in San Francisco that she strayed away from her more sensible plan of becoming an architect or interior designer.

We recently talked to Varney about founding SF Sketchfest, running around in a pregnancy pad and four-inch stilettos in You’re the Worst and her humble beginnings as “Party Girl” in Catwoman.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” and “Ancient Ritual” by Lucas Perný & Miloslav Kollar
  • End – “How I Met Your Sister” by Jimmy & The Threats

Hobo Radio 379 – It means sex (ft. Jacq the Stripper)

Armageddon, Baltimore, Featured, Hobo Radio, Jacq the Stripper, strippers

When last we talked to Jacq the Stripper, she had just released her memoir The Beaver Show and was running a Kickstarter campaign to finance a book tour.

This past weekend, Jacqueline Frances officially kicked off her tour with a road trip to Baltimore (after Joel Murphy’s gentle pleadings to get her to come to “the forgotten stepchild of the East Coast”). She performed stand up at the Second Saturday S#!t Show at the Ottobar, dropped off copies of her book at Atomic Books and explored the city with her entourage.

Sunday afternoon, Murphy and Lars Periwinkle stopped Jacq’s posh AirBnB to talk about the tour and to shoot the breeze. But mostly, they just all got distracted by the Michael Bay action film Armageddon, which was playing in the background.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Man Behind it All” by Trombley Bay
