Next Show: Captain Frodo Interview & Live-To-Air!


This week (May 3rd) on I'd Rather Jack, we'll be counting down the Top Ten Songs Featuring Moogs & Synths, and who better to help out than confessed Moog-nut - and Comedy Festival hero - Captain Frodo and his singing saw!


Hopefully he won't swallow any swords in the studio...

Frodo and the co-creator of The Adventures Of Captain Frodo: Tales Of A Modern Day Showman, Laura Sheedy, will be joining us in the studio to play the saw, talk pop and share a little Moog love. Tune in!
