We totally geek out and take the Radio Labyrinth time machine back to the very late 1970s and the 1980s. In those heady days, a hero was born to lead all of nerd-kind from out of the darkness: "Weird" Al Yankovic. Nathan is the author of two Weird Al books (books), and was asked by Al himself to write them. The depths of Nathan's pop culture knowledge are vast and we hope to have him back to go even deeper into the labyrinth. Check out his Steph-Recommended podcast and the links and social media below. Buy Nathan Rabin's "The Weird Accordion to Al" HERECheck out Nathan's website. https://www.nathanrabin.comFollow Nathan on Twitter.https://twitter.com/nathanrabinNathin's Podcast: Travolta/Cagehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nathan-rabins-happy-cast/id1312945471https://www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/2019/11/4/introducing-travoltacage-the-podcast-the-column-the-legendPlus: Our Staff Picks, Jeff's: McMillions HBO / Steph's: Girl Scout Cookie Championship Food NetworkFrom Nathan's bio:"He’s also written five books: The Big Rewind, My Year Of Flops, Weird Al: The Book, You Don’t Know Me But You Don’t Like Me (which was named a “Best Book of the Year” by both Slate and Rolling Stone, which gave the book a four star review), and, most recently, 7 Days In Ohio: Trump, the Gathering of the Juggalos and the Summer Everything Went Insane, which was just released in a hugely expanded version. Rabin was also a panelist on Movie Club With John Ridley, a show hosted by Oscar-winning 12 Years A Slave screenwriter. He’s sung onstage with They Might Be Giants, attended five Gathering of the Juggalos and thirty-something Phish shows in addition to appearing on podcasts with the likes of Marc Maron, Scott Aukerman, Harris Wittels and the Sklar Brothers. He is currently a columnist at The A.V Club, Rotten Tomatoes, TCM Backlot and Splitsider and is working on a book about the video game and movie Postal and Donald Trump. He lives in Decatur with his dog and baby and wife and is trying his damnedest to learn how to drive. He’s trying, man. He really is."_________________________________________________________Weird Al https://www.weirdal.com/Streal UHF on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/UHF-Weird-Al-Yankovic/dp/B07JFQXG3YThe Doctor Demento Show - Still Makin' Shows! https://www.drdemento.com/Watch the trailer for 1981's "The Best of Times" with Nicolas Cage & Crispin Gloverhttps://youtu.be/RQdJX8ZmLTkMax Gail Social MediaTwitter: @MaxGailFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/maxwell.gailIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0301178/bio#WeirdAlYankovic #NicolasCage #JohnTravolta #Phish #ICP #PopCulture #DrDemento _________________________________________________________We love our sponsors!Atlanta Pizza & Gyrohttp://www.atlantapizzagyro.com/https://www.facebook.com/atlpizza/Our Friends!The Power Pod with WSB's, Jared Yamamoto, et. al.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-pod/id1459204880One Topic with our very own, Autumn Fischer & Greg Russhttps://onetopic.podbean.com/The Wilder Ride with Alan Sanders and Walt Murrayhttps://thewilderride.com/Bryan Silverbax Showhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bryan-silverbax-show/id1451504886The Regular Guys Review with Larry Wachshttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/lawrence-wachs/the-regular-guys-reviewWhat Happened When Podcasthttp://www.mlwradio.com/what-happened-when-.htmlCredits:Podcast Promo MusicLakey Inspired - "Chill Day"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HjG1Y4QpVA https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired/chill-day––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Birds by Scandinavianz https://soundcloud.com/scandinavianzCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/Birds-ScandinavianzMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/4iknKLfV2X8––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––??
