THE ALYSSA & GEOFF EXPERIMENTS 🎃 Halloween Special! 👻 Thursday 9:00am

The air is thick with a stench that clings—decay and fear entwined forever.

The bitter flavour of a promise made at the crossroads… one that demands payment in flesh and soul. The Daughter and Dad bring you a Halloween special they’ll never forget, no matter how they try to escape.

So lean in, hold tight, and listen closely… as we open the doors of The Haunted Henley Cottage, and step into the nightmare within.

Throughout October and early November, we have an Encore Special in each of the two hours of TGTSA. This week we are devoting our first hour to Imitations. A number of artists popular in the 1940s, 50s or 60s were so famous that other artists were keen to imitate them. But other artists and songs were lampooned for comedic effect. And in our second hour, we trace the career of one of the most popular artists of the mid 20th century, Nat “King” Cole.

Utica Institute Jubilee Singers, Billy Usher, Ukulele Ike (who is actually Cliff Edwards), US Marine Band...and then the scrabbling for content happens. How about Una Mae Carlisle? Songs beginning with U, (or you).

Tune in and find out how Streamer creatively fills a 2 hour show, without resorting to Underhanded Tactics.
