PICK OF THE WEEK: FINDING DRAGO
The seminal investigative mystery podcast, hosted by comedians Alexei Toliopoulos and Cameron James
Hello Beautiful Babies!
Our recommendation for you this week is this classic Australian comedy podcast series from 2019. Hardcore Aussie comedy pod fans will no doubt already be familiar with this canonical series from comedians Alexei Toliopoulos and Cameron James. And to everyone else…get ready for the ride of your life.
Finding Drago follows two pop culture obsessives as they investigate one of the most pointless mysteries ever recorded to tape: who is Todd Noy, and why did he write a Rocky spin-off novel based on Soviet villain Ivan Drago?
It’s not even worth attempting to explain what unfolds over the course of this genre-bending, game-changing podcast series, after Alexei stumbles across an odd Wikipedia entry for the movie, Rocky IV. On the Wiki page is a reference to fan fiction written about the cartoonish Soviet Union super-villain, Ivan Drago. The novel, Drago: On Mountains We Stand, follows the character after the credits roll, and is described as author Todd Noy’s “final masterpiece”.
LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SERIES HERE! Be sure to listen in order - its a proper mystery unfolding…
