Guests are: - Monty Python's Eric Idle - Drive-in movie critic Joe Bob Briggs - Comedian Lewis Black - Singer/songwriter John Wesley Harding - Musical guests, Vic Teakwood and the Brand Band, performing their current smash hit, "Smells Like Teen Sweatshops."

Review of New Audio Showroom #1 "The Rumpus Room"
Whoa, where do we start? How 'bout in the studio, then to a virtual stage with virtual audience members, and is that a virtual guest? No, the guest is real, and it's Eric Idle. It's a running jumble of interviews and stand up acts, of in-your-face music parody, all over the map of the imagination. THIS IS NOT TERRY GROSS! Kind of scary and refreshing at the same time. It's good to know all of Public Radio isn't calm, cool, and ingesting qualudes. These guys have been up all night, and they want you to know it. As the Ruttles said, "We've suffered years with our music, now it's your turn!" It's a fun, rambunctious, revelry of radio. I like the chances taken. I like the feeling that maybe something bad is going to happen any moment. Not for the stations weak of heart, but those strong and sturdy, give a listen. Remember the sequence from Monty Python's Life of Brian, where Brian is about to be impaled by hundreds of centurians and suddenly he's swept off the planet by a befuddled duo of aliens? Yeah, this is it and turned sideways!
