016 – Questions & NyQuil

It’s like a real-life MASH unit as Jeff & Ryan attempt to answer a new batch of listener questions… in between Ryan’s coughing fits. We discuss the most recent round of series finales, Klinger’s middle name, Jeff’s real-life cooking skills, and potential sign-off suggestions. This episode was brought to you by the letter Q.  For show notes, episodes, bios, and more, visit www.mashmatterspodcast.com

015 – Igor’s Perm

Jeff & Ryan head back to the mailbag to answer more listener questions. Topics include Gary Burghoff’s bugling skills, Igor’s curly hair, the guys’ personal lives, and the overwhelming response to the Kellye Nakahara interview.

Plus, Jeff & Ryan offend EVERYONE. (Sorry in advance.)

M*A*S*H Notes

What advice would Alan Alda give to his younger self?

See the M*A*S*H cast in their first-ever screen roles.

You know the theme song. But do you know the story about the 15-year-old who wrote the lyrics? 

These photos from real-life M*A*S*H units are fascinating. 


Remember Dave Himes, the Army Sergeant from Episode 013 who paid a fellow serviceman $25 to take his duty so that he could watch the M*A*S*H finale in 1983? We paid him back! Don’t go spending it all at once, Dave!
(And thank you for your service.)

014 – Kellye Nakahara!

We are thrilled to welcome the one and only Kellye Nakahara to MASH Matters! Kellye played the beloved (and appropriately named) Nurse Kellye on 167 episodes of M*A*S*H, including the fan favorite, “Hey, Look Me Over.” Kellye joins Jeff & Ryan to discuss her life, her art, her health, and how a sack lunch led to her life-changing role.

013 – This Episode Is Cursed

Why is Ryan still cringing at Klinger’s fuzzy pink feet? Which polarizing episode opened Jeff’s eyes to Alan Alda’s amazing acting abilities? Why are the guys suddenly 25 dollars poorer? Tempt fate and listen to the 13th episode of MASH Matters! Plus, stay tuned for a BIG announcement about our next episode.

CURSED!

M*A*S*H Notes

Alan Alda talks M*A*S*H (and adds another trophy to his mantle).

M*A*S*H writer Mary Kay Place takes the lead in a new film. 

Gwen Verdon – notable M*A*S*H guest star and subject of the new FX series Fosse/Verdon – was a force to be reckoned with.

Topics include Jeff’s first line on the show, the experience of working with Jackie Cooper, the debut of two beloved characters, Ryan’s top three Season Two episodes,  Private Igor’s dog tags, and the M*A*S*H moment that drives Jeff & Ryan crazy.

Jackie Cooper worked with both Private Igor AND Superman!
