Behind the Curtain

By J B

Hello all,

This week on Wiretap we have “Behind the Curtain.” Per the CBC:

June 8 – Behind the Curtain:

Howard writes Jonathan’s unauthorized bio, tossing in made-up scandals and drunken debauchery left and right. Plus, Jonathan bids farewell to his long-faithful cue card holder.

In the second act, Howard references a “cold bag of mushroom soup,” which, to me, is very funny for some reason. It is so patently Wiretap in that outrageously pathetic way which is more indicative of a Goldstein-esque downfall than say, a balloon full of cocaine or a baggie full of spent heroin needles.

Anyway, not much to unpack in this episode – pretty much a two man show, just Howard Chackowicz and Jonathan Goldstein himself. Give it a listen at the Unofficial CBC Wiretap Podcast from SupernintendoChalmers.

Originally Aired: January 21, 2007

Also, you may have noticed that there is no Jonathan Goldstein tag. If you’re interested in viewing a couple Jonathan Goldstein oriented posts, go ahead and click ANY LINK ON THIS SITE.

Oh, also that’s a picture of Lord Byron.  Google images didn’t have a pic of a stone bust of him, however.
