We discuss Psychotronic Films, a wild genre blend of low-budget exploitation films almost universally panned by critics but loved by fans. 

We talk about the phoenix program some more. 

We discuss Dolemite (1975), the first of blaxploitation auteur and stand-up comedian Rudy Ray Moore's brilliant two year, four film run of seventies classics. 

We start a planned trilogy of episodes on the secret Vietnam-era Phoenix Program, nominally a joint Military and Intelligence pacification and assassination program aimed at the Vietcong, but in reality a sweeping nation-building enterprise. 

We discuss John Boorman's 1974 magnum opus Zardoz, starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling. It's a whirlwind of ideas and visual delights. Connery is the chosen one, a Mega-Connery in a post-apocalyptic world waiting for him to arrive and tear the place down. 

We interview author, BBC broadcaster and journalist Colin Babb and discuss his book "1973 and Me: The England v West Indies Test Series and a Memorable Childhood Year." Join us for a fascinating interview on Cricket, culture, British and American sports and why the year 1973 inspired Colin to write this very personal book. 

We're  joined by author, veteran broadcast journalist, Patch.com journalist and podcaster Jerry Barmash to talk about his recent book "Here Now the News: An Inside Scoop into New York's Best-Loved Anchors." Join us as we explore the world of 70s New York City news anchors.

We welcome author and collector Jared Stearns to the show to discuss his book “Pure: The Sexual Revolutions of Marilyn Chambers. This is a unique exploration of one of the early adult film industries biggest stars and her wild life.

We discuss Gene Roddenberry's 1977 television pilot "Spectre" about an Occult Detective (Robert Culp) and his rational-minded medical doctor sidekick/partner (Gig Young). Sound familiar? We're looking at you, X-Files. The duo do detective things and battle an ancient Mesopotamian demon.
