ALFsplaining - the ALF Podcast
@alfsplaining
An episode by episode look at the sitcom ALF from a British and not especially serious perspective. From wherever you get your podcasts. Hosted by Ben Baker @benbaker.bsky.social & John Matthews @ricardoautobahn.co.uk
ALFsplaining returns for Season 4 in September, but ahead of that we've been reading ALF's Summer Magazine from 1989 over at patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra There's exciting things afoot this "fall", as we'll address the fact we've only got one season of ALF to go by expanding the House Of Splain!
Here's another little snippet from our chat with the fabulous Josh Blake - ALF's very own Jake Ochmonek. The fact at the end of this will BLOW YOUR TINY MINDS. It's all happening at youtu.be/VGgX95TPapw
Over at patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra we're having a look at some of ALF's cameo appearances in other shows.
In the latest in our long line of exclusive ALF-related interviews we've been chatting to the fantastic Josh Buxbaum - Josh Blake as was - who played ALFs friend, co-conspirator and next door neighbour Jake Ochmonek! It's all happening at youtu.be/VGgX95TPapw
National treasure @dankackroyd.bsky.social came on the podcast for our discussion about the composition of "cat juice" - the only substance that would cure ALF's hiccups. open.spotify.com/episode/2FnN... Other episodes are available, why not delve into our back catalogue?
The ALFsplaining boys are keeping hydrated in the warmth. Why not listen to the five episodes we released this week at linktr.ee/ALFsplaining?
Fans of astute commentary and actual lived experience will be pleased to know John's mother is a brief guest in today's episode, offering her take on the episode 'Having My Baby' from the unique perspective of being John's mother. Linktr.ee/ALFsplaining for all the info
Don't forget next Monday we spend an hour in the company of Josh Buxbaum - formerly child actor Josh Blake - who tells us everything he can remember about his time on ALF and loads of other shows. Equally interesting he offers a fascinating perspective from that position as "former" child actor.
Not only does Kate have a baby but a good portion of the episode is taken up with the Ol' ALFer watching The Dick Van Dyke Show in a manner that suggests he's about to start a Dick Van Dyke Show podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/5uuU...
Please enjoy some more images of the very pregnant Kate being apoplectic with rage at being woken at 3am by a hairy alien. Willie is as supportive as ever by remaining asleep.
And so we reach the end of S3 and (spoilers!) Eric, who grew up to be in the Mint Mobile ads with ALF, is born. Also, Kate gets angrier with ALF than we've *ever* seen in the past! Watch 'Having My Baby' in advance at linktr.ee/ALFsplaining Listen to the podcast at open.spotify.com/episode/5uuU...
In today's ALFsplaining we cover the last scenes of Jake Ochmonek, ALF's pal who genuinely became a stand out character. With that in mind we've tracked him down! Next Monday we've got a great interview with former actor Josh Buxbaum - Josh Blake as was. It'll all happen at linktr.ee/ALFsplaining
