Daddy: A Live Show with Helen Zaltzman and Martin Austwick

This audio was originally recorded live at The Rio Theater in Vancouver on July 3rd, 2025.

Folks we are thrilled to be sharing our Daddy Live Show with you as a belated Valentine's Day gift! As you may recall, Material Girls did our first-ever in-person show last summer. Our theme was the term "daddy," and we were lucky enough to be joined by Helen Zaltzman and Martin Austwick.

The show kicks off with a live rendition of our theme song, Shopping Mall, from Vancouver band, Auto Syndicate. The show that follows is part regular format episode, part sing-a-long, part game and a whole lot of theory. In listening to the recorded audio, you may miss some visual gags (like a paddle that says "Dad or Daddy" which we used to vote during the game — or the singular paddle used by Coach that said "no time" and "wait, take that again."). One other thing to note: At the ~55 minute mark when we play a game called Dad or Daddy there were some essential accompanying slides. Click the link to follow along.

Otherwise, as mentioned in the show, be sure to check out Helen's podcast The Allusionist and Zena Sharman's upcoming book, Staying Power. And DEFINITELY check out the Daddy Really Cares music video Martin Austwick made especially for you— and listen to the song on his bandcamp here where you can also do a close-reading of the genius lyrics.
