If the words "Super Dave Osborne" mean something very special to you, click here to download the November 14th Q podcast for a fascinating and hilarious time. Fast forward to the 43:30 mark and let the fun commence as SD steamrolls national hack interviewer Jian Ghomeshi while sharing some of his very interesting history. Why do all the bad interviewers, like Ghomeshi and George Strombolopoulos, get all the good guests? Hacks they may be, but I suppose I must give them full marks for being very enterprising hacks.
If you have time to kill, and like that sort of thing, the first 22 minutes revolve around a Norwegian born artiste musician who I find unimpressive, but who you should probably hear speak for a minute as he sounds like an emo kid doing an imitation of Walter Koenig (Star Trek's Chekov) - I have to salute the guy for having such a great and entertaining speaking voice. After the 22 minute mark, you can listen to an interview with Ken Whyte, who recently wrote a pretty good book about William Randolph Hearst (I didn't listen to this one as I've been reading excerpts from said book in The National Post for the past few weeks).
A rather diverse hour, but personally, I feel that all you need to get out of it is Super Dave.

The mp3 file at the cbc site has been severely censored. The original is the best 20 minutes of spontaneous radio I've ever heard.
I've bloged and emailed the Q folks, but anticipate no response. SOmeone recognized how funny this segment was and asked SD to stay loner, which he did, but only for a couple of minutes. Obviously the they realized it was over the top and censored the file to be made available.
How do I/we get our hands on the original file? It was the funiest thing I've ever heard.
Fbro
hum. I never heard the original broadcast, so I really couldn't tell you. I'll keep an eye out, though. What kind of shenaningans went down in that cut part?
And thanks for letting me know that someone somewhere is reading my blog. It makes me feel 5 to 10% less narcissistic. :D
