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

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!
The Goober Hour is hosted by Trevor Walls, airing weekly on JUMP 105.3 Pittsburgh, Positively Morrinsville 87.7, PRX & Kiddo Radio.

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!

Today’s dose of wackiness comes in the form of music new and old - from The Muppets covering Kokomo to The Wiggles covering Brand New Key - plus a confused surfer calls into the show, a surprise delivery comes to the studio door, a vintage reading of Dr. Seuss’ The Sneetches, and tunes for the beach. Cowabunga?!

There’s wacky fun to be had today in the form of comedy by Monty Python and Tom Lehrer, a classic reading of a Frog and Toad story, a studio ghost hunt, and a chaotic on-air call about a listener’s pillows. Not to mention, music by The Aquabats, Ella Fitzgerald, Kate Micucci and more. Tune in for the tunes, stay for the lunacy!
