Natasha proved to be a somewhat quiet and slightly antagonistic guest, disagreeing with the guys about childhood trauma. Adam is on point and it’s a funny show, definitely worth a listen and there is an early smoke detector chirp going off, the boys don’t yet time it nor focus in on it to ridicule the caller, sadly. This is Natasha’s only appearance after she guested on the MTV variant of LL prior to this appearance. LoveLineTapes Amazon Podcasting Read More →

Mark-Paul proves to be a fantastic guest and is very good natured about his TV movie work post ‘Saved by The Bell’ promoting his new movie ‘Dead Man on Campus’ and fall series ‘Hyperion Bay’ on the WB.

CLL #749 (feat. Adam Goldberg) – 08/12/1998 – Wednesday Night Show Source – TobyDog Tape (2008) with another TobyDog source used for patches This is the only copy of this show, two TD tapes merged together with almost the exact same content on both tapes, but some slight differences. The best version was used, enhanced and patched with the lower quality backup source. Adam proves to be a great guest and returns to the show two more times, once in 1999 and again in 2003. There are some audio issues including bleed in from another station or previous recording on the source tape, it can be annoying if you focus on it so try not to, this is a good episode. @TheAdamGoldberg From Wiki: Adam Charles Read More →

Enjoy! Adam has some mockery for the Wiccan community and they have a funny back Read More →
