Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan’s lifelong love of comedy was kindled when they met more than 40 years ago in graduate school in Seattle. While managing family and professional work responsibilities, they hosted a one hour comedy radio program on Saturday mornings for 10 years on a small radio station in Olympia, WA and also co-authored two books on northwest popular culture – Seattle on Film (1995) and Wet and Wired (2000). Stuck at home during the early days of the pandemic with hundreds of comedy albums, cassettes and CD’s gathering dust on their shelves, they launched Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy in May 2020, a weekly mini-program featuring a different comedy icon, with biographical bits and a nice slice of the comedy that made them famous. From standup stars, to stellar sketch teams, to novelty music maestros -- they are all part of our Legends.

This time out go north to Canada with us to meet The Frantics, a great comedy troupe who blend sharp sketches with witty songs that have earned them a loyal following for over 40 years. From their birth in the fertile Toronto comedy scene circa 1979, to a long-running CBC radio show, to a late-career reunion that spawned from an old sketch gaining new fame on the Dr. Demento show -- the Frantics keep serving up great characters along with a catch phrase that will stick with you like a "boot to the head!" As always find extended cuts in the comments at laughtracksradio.com and thanks for sharing our shows!
