Firesign on Radio Free Oz: "Talking Over One Another"

During the group's stay in Washington state for the mid-November Kirkland shows, Peter corraled Phil, David and Phil for a couple of group recording sessions. The format of these sessions carry on the tradition of the Radio Free Oz radio shows from the mid-1960s, and mark the first time all four Firesigns convened in one place for live, informal chats to be made available exclusively on the web.

The first of these sessions is available as the November 21 podcast on Peter's radiofreeoz.com website: FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT. The second session podcast is available as the November 28 podcast, DEBIT! DEBIT! DEBIT! SAID THE CHINESE MACHINE GUN. Get' em while they're still warm!

Waiting in the Wings: MARCHING TO SHIBBOLETH

In the '70s, Firesign published two books of scripts from their albums: Firesign Theatre's Big Book Of Plays and the Big Mystery Joke Book. Long out of print and much sought after, these two books will soon see the light of day again in a single volume: Marching to Shibboleth. This new edition will feature the scripts from the original books along with additional goodies and new graphics accompanying the text.
