The Return of The Best Show

[Bull Shannon]

Will the show have a music portion when streamed live?  I assume there won't be music in the podcast form.

Tom said on a few podcasts that he was working on the music issue, but I assume it's been cleared up since he played a bunch of songs on the Test Show.

I bet it'll be like the WFMU show/podcast, where music gets chopped out for the podcast. Shame, though; I prefer listening to the podcast on my own time, but love the music. Listening to downloaded full shows with the songs intact over the last year has really turned me onto some good music.

I'm curious about a new theme song. The Themeweavers WFMU one is so engraved in my brain...

[JesseFromVegas]

Yeah, I'm excited/scared for a new theme too

No need to be frightened.

[Denim Gremlin]

man, if they made prints of those posters I'd buy every single one

[agent_jimmy]

of course tom is gonna have a great theme song. no need to worry. i'd bet anything it's gonna make the old theme song sound like a The Band outtake or something.

Change your underwear and relax. Make a clockwise rotation on the palm of your hand, repeatedly.

A 2010 episode of The Best Show on WFMU has been declared by Slate to be the 11th best podcast episode of all time

7 Second Delay is on there too.

[Flat1ander]

I'm hoping for a call from Stevie Blue, that would be fantastic.

And I know this may be taboo, but I wouldn't mind Louie the Liverpudlian to call in either. While he who must not be named certainly has a screw loose, I always enjoyed Tom screaming at him to "LET ME TALK!!!".

And while we're talking throwbacks, how about a real throwback with the Anti-Hasu kid. Maybe I've just been listening to the older shows too much, but that's just me.

And one more thing... Is there any question that the first JW call is going to be PBR?

[justinmh05]

I definitely think they'll pick up with the PBR cliffhanger (of robbing Tom). I'd love to hear Hot Rockin' Ronny make a comeback too.

Tom finally talks on Mike's Skype Thing.

We were just doing our usual Mike Skype thing when Tom Scharpling shows up and talks not texts. Later, he pots us down and ruins the show.

Forgive me for not reading this thread before posting. I scheduled a last minute road trip to visit my very precious and important family mere hours before Tom announced that the show was coming back today.

My point is, I'm reallllly hoping some of you are planning to record the show. I know it'll eventually be podcast, but I want the whole thing, music and all, please oh please oh please oh please! I will be your best friend! I can play it for my wife! I have a wife! I like my wife!

The new podcast is already receiving glowing reviews on iTunes:

Jake Fogelnest quit his podcast several months in advance of The Best Show because he was afraid of getting steamrolled by Tom and the return of the greatest show ever known.
