Fluff Radio Review #67: THE END…or This Isn’t Goodbye, This is Banana Hammock

Oh Boyz 2 Men! Why didn’t you explain to me how to actually SAY GOODBYE rather than just singing about how hard it is to do so?! One final show and one final party to send Ms. Annie off to CA in style…A crazy mess of a show with lots of love both from all of you fans, and FOR all of you fans. Fluff Radio Review is the most fun and rewarding creative project I’ve ever been a part of, and Brooklyn misses Annie something fierce. But don’t cry. Okay…maybe cry a little. We love each and every one of ...

Fluff Radio Review #66: The Second to Last One

Nearly a year after show 66 was recorded, it has at last been edited, polished up, and prepared for your consumption. Will it be worth the wait? The only way to find out is to listen. I’m not saying Jimmy Hoffa is inside, but I am saying that it’s better than that time Geraldo opened his alleged tomb on live television.

Fluff Radio Review #62: Postal Pancakes

It’s time to fold up your beard and put away your flannel for another year, but we hope everyone had a great Lumberjack Day. In preparation for next year, we reveal an amazing secret that is SO secret that the government probably doesn’t want you to know about it! And I’m not talking about Children of the Unicorn, although the government probably doesn’t want you to know about them either, because if the awesomosity of their sonic vibrations hit the public at large, the world would probably impl...

Fluff Radio Review #60: Tattooed Ballooners

Well, it’s official… Fluff Radio is starting to get some gray hairs. That’s right, we’ve finally reached show number sixty. We are officially at Denny’s, eating dinner at 5pm, and getting ready to head over to bingo next. Don’t worry, though, fair listener. We won’t get too comfortable in our old age. In fact, I feel a late mid-life crisis coming on… yeah, screw bingo! And screw you, Moon Over My Hammy! We’re outta here! We’re gonna go buy ourselves a Mustang, CONVERTIBLE! And then we’re gonna d...

Fluff Radio Review #59: Why Are We Building Such a Big Fort?

With the summer drawing to a close Annie and Colleen bring you some festive music, tales of whoooa, and juggling with clubs. First it was the Super Secret Lair. Then it was the Cloud Fortress. There’s a new recording studio in town (*cough borough*), and it’s painted all sorts of ugly colors! Call us to give the new studio a name, or to just say hi, or to freestyle rap about why you think blenders really DO need a “nudge” setting. 3 plus 4 equals 7, 22-Fluff!

Fluff Radio Review #57: The-Show-That-Must-Not-Be-Named

With only 12 days remaining until the final book, Annie and Colleen seem unable to think about ANYTHING other than Harry Potter…and David Hasslehoff, and candy dots, and celebrity fund-raisers, and that weird bunny-bird on the Pocky for “MEN” package, and the fact that there’s Pocky FOR MEN, and whether or not they got mr. ed to talk using peanut butter or other persuasive methods…um…yeah but it is mostly all about the Potter. Joined by music from super-awesome Harry and the Potters, The-Show-Th...

Fluff Radio Review #56: Just Your Friendly Neighborhood Dead Folk

Missed Connection: Our Eyes Met on the F-Train-- dm4lw* Our eyes met as we pulled up to the Jay Street/Borough Hall stop, yours a crystal blue, mine a slightly glowing red. If I still had a heart I bet it would have burst out of my chest and hit you smack in yours. Please don't think me sexist when I tell you that I was drooling just looking at you. It's not just your body I fell for, I could just tell you had a wonderful braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain... But then you ran off, kicking a part of me out of...

Fluff Radio Review #55: Spring Attack

Ahh, Spring arrives in Brooklyn! Annie and Colleen shuffle off their winter coccoons. spread their newlyformed wings in the buttery air, and dance the wobbly boogie of the baby foal! What, after all, could be more appropriate for the season of reproduction than a show chock-full of uterus jokes?

Annie and Colleen (and Mikey) return but they are not alone...dunt dunt dunnnnn!

Fluff Radio Review #53: Anyone Want to Stop for Donut Burgers and Gas?

Surprisingly, there are some things in the world so disturbing that even Annie and Colleen can't make them up. But don't worry, noble fans...there are still a whole lot of disturbing things that they DO make. At least now they can blame it on the puppy...

Fluff Radio Review #52: Welcome to the Cloud Fortress

If there's one thing you learn from this week's show (other than how to really confuse a puppy) is that the only thing more fun than walking on clouds is walking on clouds with your feet cut off. Welcome to the Fortress. Bring your elephants and goats and stay a while. Musical Guest: The Teeth performing "Oh, Bessie!" and "So Long" Impromptu Songs: * Cheesy Lady * The Lonely Goat Tales of Wonder: * The Anti-climactic Nosegasm (Sorry for the crappy quality of Colleen's voice in this one.

Fluff Radio Review #51: Swiss Cheese

Dear Swiss Cheese, I am writing you today because there is something I must ask of you. Now, I know that you and I have had our differences in the past. We haven't always gotten along. In fact, of all the cheeses, you just happen to be my very least favorite, with your awkward holes and your mildly nutty flavor. So, you can imagine how difficult it is for me today to swallow my pride and ask of you a favor. You see, Swiss Cheese... I love my Ham. No, I mean, like, I REALLY love it... and lately,...

Fluff Radio Review #49: Silver Parties and Acronymed Farties

With Thanksgiving here, and Christmas just around the bend (by which I mean Dead Man's Curve), Annie and Colleen have been participating in a lot of "good cheer"! After all, nothing says "winter solstice" like a party dedicated entirely to the shininess of the color silver! So take a break from the relatives. Grab yourself a cup o' kindness and a cozy can of cranberry sauce, and cuddle up to the dulcet tones of this week's musical guest, Nouvelle Vague. Oh yeah and the ROAST US contest isn't ove...

October is upon us, dear Fluff fans, which can only mean lumberjacks, halloween, christian guilt, and an inability to walk around naked like you really really really want to. p.s.

Fluff Radio Review #45: Stranger Than Fiction

Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis as Annie and Colleen bring you yet another host of urban legends and scientific anomalies. What is fact and what is fiction, science fans? Are Annie and Colleen actually nutjobs, or is it just your imagination, hmmm? And consider this dismaying observation: this podcast has no logic and no seriousness. Which offers you this chilling challenge... to find a rational explanation! MWAHAHAHAHA...

Fluff Radio Review #44: 16 Bits of Fluff

Choose any of these four exciting characters to guide you through this week's show: Colleen AF Venable, Annie Sanders, Chris Dlugosz, or Mikey IQ Jones. Each has a special ability: Annie has brilliant facial hair and can jump very high, Mikey is very good at defying gravity, Chris can throw things quickly and is a very agile pianist, and Colleen is very unbalanced and smells a bit like the inside of a turkey. Good luck! I hope you make it to level 7 because that's totally the best one. Oh yeah, ...
