128 - Ricardo Autobahn - His Airwolf Was Quite Good

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.

Joining Tim this time is musician Ricardo Autobahn, who's hurtling across America on speeded-up film in search of Ed Starink's budget synthesiser albums, The Big Bus, The Wizard Of Speed And Time, Roadmaker, Chimera, Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation, Isle Of Wight theme park Blackgang Chine and the bizarre final season of The Dukes Of Hazzard. Along the way we'll be speculating on why so many lorry drivers listen to Nigel Planer And Peter Richardson Live At The Comic Strip on a loop, playing Make Your Own East India Tea Company and a cardboard remake of Grand Theft Auto, debating the tourist-attracting merits of a giant fibreglass smuggler, questioning what Margaret Thatcher was doing hogging a double seat at the back of the bus, celebrating a good Christmas in the Mavers household and generally getting exasperated at contestants who go on Pointless without any apparent understanding of how the gameplay works.

You can also find Ricardo on Looks Unfamiliar talking about Pull The Other One, the Pink Panther Bar, the Panther 6, Hot Wheels Crack-Ups, Explorer, Inside The Magic Rectangle by Victor Lewis-Smith, I Live In A Giant Mushroom by Eric The Gardener, The Car, The Sooty Show episode Fun Being Small and ‘Thunderclap Pop’ here, and on The Golden Age Of Children's TV talking about Rainbow here.
