CHOPPERS! - MASH Matters #131

Jeff & Ryan welcome the wonderful Karen Lieberman to MASH Matters! Karen was Executive Producer Burt Metcalfe's right-hand gal through the first nine years of M*A*S*H's run. She shares so many great stories about on-set pranks, guest star salaries, her baby's gender reveal by Harry Morgan, and the Christmas gift from Burt Metcalfe that she still uses to this day. Plus, Karen tells us what it was like standing next to McLean Stevenson during the shooting of *that* scene... and why you should never order tuna on Fridays in the Fox commissary.

Inaccuracies & Inconsistencies - MASH Matters #136

It's an episode we never wanted to do, but we knew we needed to do it. This one is for our dear, sweet friend, Loretta Swit. Memorial donations may be made to Actors & Others For Animals or the SwitHeart Animal Alliance

Our Friend, Loretta

We're going back in time to when Jeff & Ryan first met... on the radio! The year was 1997. Ryan was working on the morning show on New Country Z100 in southern Illinois. One fateful morning, Jeff joined Ryan and his cohorts to promote his soon-to-be-classic cookbook. The rest is MASH Matters history. In this episode, for the first time in 24 years, you will hear the interview that started it all. Plus, stick around at the end for an update on Jeff's book!
