The first Colin & MIngo podcast, recorded on July 18, 2005, was called "Magakrampi & Blanda on the Super Cultural Panorama podcast with Geoff Collens."  We did not yet have an intro or a music bed.  We got a lot better with the production values as the podcast series progressed.  The lack of music makes the recording feel a little dry, but please stick with it.

We introduced the enigmatic musical supergroup "Magakrampi & Blanda," supposedly from Iceland, but in this interview I would best characterize the accent as "Canuck".  Makes sense due to the specific musical influences cited.

We get to hear an instrumental track from Magakrampi & Blanda which was untitled at the time but would later be called "M.A.S.S." and later appeared on their debut release, "Spurning."  (This track makes up about 2 minutes of the 7:39 running time of the podcast.)

The second podcast was the "Colin & Mingo 20th Anniversary Special." In this podcast we hear the "This is a real thing" intro for the very first time and there's a music bed (both obviously missing in the first podcast).

We discuss the group's putative origins in Keflavík, the year of mutation, and some of our influences.  We hear a short clip from "Mutated Dream", which is considered to be one of the first significant Colin & Mingo tracks (although it is generally unknown to our fans but reportedly hit #1 on the dance charts in the Faroe Islands at some point).

There is a "viewer mail" segment in which Colin & Mingo answer questions from Texas, Oregon, Florida, and Nevada about their former British accents, working with Phil Collins, access to the Colin & Mingo back catalog, and whether there is any connection between Colin & Mingo and Magakrampi & Blanda.

The third podcast, recorded and released in August 2005, was called "Geoff Collens Interviews Thurm Glupston." In this so-called "super-culturama starcast" the music bed could have been a little lower in the mix, but our "new sponsor" liked it anyway. Crank it up.

Geoff Collens interviews Thurm Glupston, host of a series of successful talk shows in the late 1980's. Geoff was Thurm's sidekick in the old days when the program was audio-only.

We find out what Thurm has been doing since the show last aired, whether there are any plans to revive the show, and what happened to the cast and crew, including Woody B. Greene (a man who could turn into a plant), Kitty Cologne (a cosmological cosmetologist), We'll Save You Man (a supermarket super hero), and the Duodenum Twins (in their big screen debut, "Duodenum Twins vs. The Devlish Brine Shrimp", which sadly seems to be missing from IMDB even now). We also hear a little about what the cast from "UFO: CROAP" has been up to.

The fourth podcast, from October 2005, was called "Geoff Collens Interviews Gerard the Pastry Chef.”  This foxy "super-culturama starcast" strayed somewhat from the formula of the previous ones. But all 13 minutes of it are very foxy.  Geoff Collens interviews world-renowned pastry chef Gerard. Geoff asks Gerard 10 foxy questions which have been statistically calculated for maximum effectiveness. You will learn a lot of foxy facts about pastry by listening to this podcast.

Our fifth podcast (technically a “Super-Culturama Starcast”), from December 2005, was called "Holiday Music from Colin & Mingo.”  We closed out the year with a foxy, digitally remastered recording of the ultimate holiday song, "Groovy Christmas” (originally available on our album “Combat for Decency”).  There’s also an announcement of the opening of the film “The Duodenum Twins vs. the Devilish Brine Shrimp."

Our seventh podcast, from June 2006, was called "Maxwell Montes Re-Preview.”  I’m skipping the super-short sixth podcast (“Maxwell Montes Preview”) because it was hard to understand—the material was better presented in the one linked below.

We began our second season of the Super-Culturama Starcast with the introduction of a new continuing personality, "Maxwell Montes." Maxwell Montes, creator of the Montes Method, and bad-ass villain "Maxwell Mentos" from "The Duodenum Twins vs. the Devlish Brine Shrimp," gives us a preview of the upcoming podcasting season. We should expect to hear more about Purple Chihuahua Man, Señorita Inez and her Chiapan Surprise, and the world-famous Quintana Roo Tabernacle Choir in future installments.

Colin & Mingo's eighth podcast, from September 2006, was called "Summer Trax.” From this podcast on, the opening and closing sounds have been standardized.

The “Summer Trax” include:
* "The Maxwell Montes Megamix,” a trippy sonic creation which later appeared on Magakrampi & Blanda's album “Spurning” (retitled "Maxwell's Song”)
* A new but untitled track from Magakrampi & Blanda, quiet and subtle compared to the “Megamix.”  This track also ended up on “Spurning” (and it got a title: "Cold Star”)
* An exclusive new Colin & Mingo ringtone. If you have trouble accessing the link as read during the podcast, use this link: http://www.trovish.org/cm/pod/20060814-1-phone.mp3

Colin & Mingo's ninth podcast, from October 2006, was called "Cool and Frosty (not Warm and Toasty).”

Bleu Cheeze Ripple Ice Cream sponsored this short podcast for all of those who are concerned about the weather and who have a ready supply of squirrels on hand to correctly interpret the weather forecast.

This one also ended up as a track on Magakrampi & Blanda's album, "Spurning".

Colin & Mingo's tenth podcast, from November 2006, was called "Chica de Titicaca Edition.”

Bleu Cheeze Ripple Ice Cream sponsored yet another foxy podcast. An unnamed narrator suggests that Señorita Inez might be present at Club Chica de Titicaca. Maxwell Montes takes the mic, but is unable to describe the anatomical impossibility of the Chiapan Surprise. After an "intense experience" occurs, the unnamed narrator takes over again, and tells us that everyone else has been left speechless and local emergency services are overwhelmed.

This one also ended up as a track on Magakrampi & Blanda's album, "Spurning".

It was all a dream.

Colin & Mingo's eleventh podcast, from December 2006, was called "Keflavík Drone Editon” (and that’s not a typo).

This is a special Magakrampi & Blanda editon of the Bleu Cheeze Ripple Ice Cream Presents the Maxwell Montes Download.  We are treated to the debut of a complex, multi-cultural instrumental track called "Keflavík Drone” which would later be featured on the album “Spurning."

Maxwell Montes Download Live #2

The Thurm Glupston show was a long-running endeavor of ours, with its original format of Colin as the host (Thurm) and Mingo as the guests.  We recorded an audio Halloween show with several others as guests in 1984.  We also played our “hit” of the time (“People Talking”) and ended the show with the only recording of “Ce n’est pas un auto.”  (The title/chorus was *supposed* to be “that is not a car” in French.)  Here is “Ce n’est pas un auto” with the intro from the show and a bit of applause afterward.

The song only appeared on all versions of “Carol Has a Moustache" (greatest hits volume 1).

Somehow we never used a theme song for the Thurm Glupston Show of our own creation.  We used some instrumentals by the Human League in many of our audio-only recordings.  We used stock production music for the televised shows.  It’s strange, I’ll admit.

There is one track that was called “Thurm Theme” though.  It was originally called “Melody XI,” named in a sequence of audio creations I made when I upgraded to a “real” (well, a “real-er”) keyboard in 1985.

This track appeared on all versions of “Carol Has a Moustache" (greatest hits volume 1).

Thurm Theme (Melody XI)

This is one of the (mostly) extemporaneous "dramas" that Colin & Mingo have been known to sprinkle among music and songs.

This is one of the tracks Colin & Mingo did as our Icelandic personas Magakrampi & Blanda.  Only this time, for whatever reason, everything was in Russian.   (The "real" name of this track is "Смерть От Жары")

This is an authorized cover of a 35-second track done by Mr. Beefy (as symplegades).  He admitted that we made it our own.  You'll find this track on our 2000 album called "Trove."
