Topics include TV residuals, MASH-inspired pet names, 16-millimeter film, Red Lobster commercials, the old-time radio star that sounds like Jeff, and the MASH episode we would show someone who has never watched the show. Plus – get ready for a HUGE announcement!

In this episode of MASH Matters, Jeff & Ryan welcome writer/director/producer Michael Hirsh, the driving force behind two beloved documentaries: 1981’s “Making M*A*S*H” and 1991’s “Memories of M*A*S*H.” Michael shares some wonderful behind-the-scenes stories about writing with Larry Gelbart, battling the studio, working on AfterMASH, and much more. You’ll also hear about the mischievous side of David Ogden Stiers and the REAL reason that McLean Stevenson left the show.

Jeff & Ryan welcome best-selling author Stephen Rebello to a special bonus episode of MASH Matters! Stephen’s latest book, Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!: Deep Inside Valley of the Dolls, the Most Beloved Bad Book and Movie of All Time is a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood in the 1960s. Our very own Jeff Maxwell, who spent much of his early years in show business on the lot at 20th Century Fox, was interviewed by Mr. Rebello and many of his stories are featured in the book. If you’re a fan of movies, we think you’ll enjoy this conversation.

In the epic conclusion of Jeff & Ryan’s interview with Jamie Farr, you’ll hear about the evolution of Corporal Klinger, the last days of M*A*S*H, walking around in high heels, landing his dream role on Broadway, and a rather unorthodox method to ask for a raise.
