The Goon Show = Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe. BBC *live* radio comedy. Hilariously silly. Often with over the top odd plotline, political digs at 'elites', on-stage foley effects. Many characters played by each. Monty Python would not have existed without it coming before. Regular saturday morning fare for me as a kid. (Don't fret, it was re-runs aired on Ryerson Radio i think.)

Hey Ryan. If you have time to squeeze in a request, would love to hear Dan Mangan's "Cold in the Summer" , dedicated to my wife and to our 4y.o. son who brought home the germs :P
