Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:33:49 In the last few weeks, we heard a flashback from “Floyd” from July 13, 2010 and then the first of our old time radio (OTR) “lost” episode from June 5, 2012 called “Mayberry After Mid-day.” This week we get to hear the second OTR episode released for episode 500 of […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:27:12 Last week, we heard from “Floyd” who did a flashback to a time he and Bert Miller talked about going into business together. That was originally released on July 13, 2010 and was the first time I had done anything that reminded me of those old time radio (OTR) programs. […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:27:47 Back on episode 92 of Two Chairs, I thought it would be nice to have Floyd host the show. To paraphrase Floyd, “Ninety-two, people always talking about podcast but nobody does anything about it.” Floyd shares a flashback with us of a time when Bert Miller dropped by the barber […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:44:05 Almost 12 years ago I did a podcast about the wonderful Don Knotts movie, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, and I think it’s time to review it again.

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:33:30 This past week I went out to my mailbox and what a wonderful surprise I found in there.

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:33:22 When did The Andy Griffith Show first come into being? That’s the kind of question answered in the book by Randy Turner called “Mayberry Firsts” and we’ll learn the answer to that question on this episode. Randy’s book if full of fun and interesting information like what you’ll hear on […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:33:50 I get a lot of comments from folks saying how much they enjoy the trivia questions we do here so I figured you might enjoy these questions that show up in The Mayberry Puzzle Book (Season 1). The questions aren’t really meant to be trivia questions but they certainly do […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:28:01 I have been going through the Two Chairs No Waiting archives looking at things I have collected over the years. Photos, flyers, clippings and stories about our friends in Mayberry. I’ve been collecting these things for a while so it’s like finding “new” things. They aren’t new but I haven’t […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:30:33 Beginning back in the early 1980s, The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC) began publishing newsletters. Over those years there were hundreds of stories written and published in the official newsletters called The Bullet, The eBullet, The Pocket, and The Button. The information provided was timeless. Because so many […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:33:51 I know many of you have been missing roving reporter Randy Turner so I thought I’d talk about just some of what he has going one.

Special singers from Mayberry this week will be Maggie Peterson (Charlene) and she is joined on stage by Ernest T. Bass (Howard Morris). These performances were […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:44:39 I’ve been going through some old video tapes and finding treasures that I’m pretty sure you’ll never have seen unless you were at Mayberry events back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. Because large sections of this podcast episode were taken from video tapes, I would suggest that you […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:54:16 We have been gathering News from around Mayberry and wanted to share it here on the podcast. It’s already out on the web in the Weaver’s Newsletter but if you’re like me, you like to hear things more than you like to read. (Yeah, I’m one of those audiobook listening […]

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:35:34 We have a mission here at Two Chairs No Waiting to do whatever we can to keep Mayberry alive but we can all thank TAGSRWC for being the driving force behind that work since 1979. Fans of The Andy Griffith Show have a lot to be proud of as does […]
