The Goober Hour is a musical, fantastical, often nonsensical, syndicated radio show described as a ”weekly dose of wackiness”. Host Trevor Goober - comedian, musician and owner of way too many novelty records - takes listeners on a journey through forgotten classic tunes and new indie gems, interspersed with improv comedy, ”phone calls” from an assortment of odd listeners (who all seem to sound just a tiny bit like Trevor), extensive artist interviews, and a heap of nostalgic jingles and commercials to create the perfect blend of all things weird and wonderful in the world. Broadcasting on and off the air since 2012, TGH has become a weekly favourite amongst goofballs and audiophiles of all ages. Often described as ”Boss Radio meets Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” the show has gained a cult following for its niche musical history features and ever-evolving oddball approach to radio. The show’s comedy segments have been featured regularly on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and the program was recently highlighted in The Los Angeles Times. Past special guests include ”Weird Al” Yankovic, Kate Micucci, Aly & AJ, The Wiggles and nearly a hundred more - you truly never know who or what you’re going to get! The show is distributed through the Public Radio Exchange, broadcasting from beautiful Burbank, California every Saturday. ”Bright, imaginative, and filled with sincere human warmth, created for the sheer joy of making something beautiful and sharing it with the world.” - Todd McHatton

We've got it all this week - from classic Muppet tunes to pirate anthems to new music out the wazoo! Plus, a confused on-air caller complains about their gravy, paranormal investigators stop by the studio, a recap of this week's lesser known holidays, and a breaking Goober news report. It's just plain wacky, I tell ya!

I had the pleasure of talking to Uncle Jumbo about his brand new album, how family life inspires him, songwriting on a bicycle, and - of course - Halloweenpeños. Taste the Sky is now streaming on music platforms!

It’s another hour of wackiness filled to the brim with confused callers, a bizarre Goober News report, and international holidays you’ve never heard of! All of the music played in this episode is from the beautiful new compilation record The Best of Gustafer Yellowgold - including covers by Recess Monkey, Frances England and Billy Kelly. Delicious!

Novelty tunes old and new take the forefront today, including the best songs you’ve ever heard about dogs, pies and cheese. Also, Harrison Houde calls in to hear a song about himself, a news report involving the world’s longest kiss, Mr. Perks proposes a new sponsor for the show, Peter Sellers recites poetry, and a ‘50s record that features animals on lead vocals. It’s the wackiest hour you’ve heard all week!

This week, we crank up the tunes old and new while talking to on-air callers like an angry neighbour and a vegetable salesman. Throw in resident senior Grampa Gramps getting a dance lesson from Barbra Streisand, a news report from Dickie Goodman, and an inordinate amount of sound effects, and you’ve got yourself a wacky hour of radio!
