Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Listen to this show:
Pop-up player!
Actor/director Mike Myers joins us tonight to talk about his newly released documentary Supermensch: The Legend Of Shep Gordon! The movie tells the story of, yes, Shep Gordon, who managed the likes of Alice Cooper, Luther Vandross and Pink Floyd before ushering in the culture of the celebrity chef through his work with Emeril Lagasse and others. Mike Myers tells the fascinating story of this legendary manager in his directorial debut; tonight he'll share that story, and the story of directing his first film, with WFMU listeners.

Hi Everyone :)
Very exciting that you have Mike Myers on - I will add as a side note that as a Devils fan I am very happy that he has transferred the luck of the Maple Leafs over to the Rangers ;o)
Looking forward to the usual excellent EFD interview :)
