Dedicated to all music odd, silly or forgotten, Crazy College has been hitting the airways since 1984. Hosted by Geo. Stewart, it's a fun way to look at the whole panoply of American social attitudes and what them change, sometime even evolving for the better. Spike Jones, Stan Freberg Allan Sherman, they all have a home here, as do Brother Theodore, Billy Murray, Raymond Scott and more

NEW! You’re Getting Sleepy
Roy Zimmerman
When he unsheathes rapier wit, watch out: it cuts deep, more like a scalpel than an antiquated instrument of war. Let’s hope the wounds won’t heal as he slices and dices-up all the wrongs spouted by the far right, the right and the not-so-bright. Give it to the "dittoheads" on your holiday list and watch the blood gush from their ears. It's fun and educational, too!

Valentine’s Day
It’s a special Valentine’s Day edition on Crazy College. Ya know, if love really is never having to say you're sorry, Crazy College will still have a lot to apologize for after this hour of silly love songs from the likes of Tom Lehrer, Spike Jones, Allan Sherman and a host of other comedic crooner. True, she may love you more if you giver chocolate and flowers but the Crazy College Valentines Day Edition is cheaper -¬ and we ship free.

Spike Milligan
