New on The Goon Show Preservation Society website, there’s the Multiple Choice Quiz and the Peter Sellers Picture Quiz which were set for our annual meeting. Also, stories taken from a 1996 meeting where John Browell, John P Hamilton and Brian Wiley talked of their days working with the Goons.

Sad news that the last of the original contributors to the Goon Show and GSPS Honorary President has passed away.

New! THE SALE OF MANHATTAN With Tom Salinsky @tomsalinsky.bsky.social pod.link/1569929507 The one where Seagoon is approached at the Athenæum Club by two chisellers, duped into believing he owns New York and paddles all the way there in a zinc bath tub to claim his birthright. It doesn't go well.

New episode! THE POLICY pod.link/1569929507 With Andy Bell @rhaglencymru.bsky.social The Goon Show had several fixations - plagues and disease, World War Two, the decline of Empire - and, as with this week's episode, insurance policies. Join us under a short, fat tent for The Indigestion Waltz!

What you missed at the GSPS annual meeting

NED: A house! BLOODNOK: It's a mirage. NED: Nonsense... Let's go in. Eccles - search the house for food... Oh! It's vanished. You were right - a mirage. BLOODNOK: I told you. ECCLES: AHHHHH! FX: CRASH OF BODY BLOODNOK: What happened? ECCLES: I was upstairs. (Vintage Goons, 22 Sep 1958)

THE NADGER PLAGUE With Sean Gaffney @toukochan.bsky.social pod.link/1569929507 Presumably the blue-pencil-clutching BBC censors were blissfully unaware of another meaning of the word 'nadgers' when they let this go out in 1956! We also discuss Liberace, Son of Fred, Telegoons and... Harry Potter?
