The Uncle Floyd Podcast

Join legendary entertainer, “Uncle Floyd” Vivino, as he and his long-time co-star and friend, Scott Gordon, answer your questions, chat, and probably disagree about anything showbiz.

Among some of the people who watched and loved THE UNCLE FLOYD SHOW were The Ramones, Paul Simon, David Bowie (who called Uncle Floyd ”One of the BEST ’Barrelhouse’ piano players I’ve ever heard”), Iggy Pop, John Lennon, and dozens of others. You never know who might be listening with you.

How Many People Can Say...

...that David Bowie wrote a song about them (listen to Slip Away from his HEATHEN album)?

...that they had a TV show where they gave many well known entertainers their first television exposure (Bon Jovi, The Stray Cats, The Smithereens, Dramarama, Cyndi Lauper, and many others)?

Uncle Floyd can say all of that and more!

Join Uncle Floyd and his long-time friend and co-star, Scott Gordon, as they chat, reminisce, telling all the deep, dark, hidden stories of what it was like. They will joke around as well.

And, by the way, Scott Gordon is a musician, voice actor, audio engineer, and entertainment technology consultant. Scott learned electronics, recording, and even some guitar at the side of the legendary Les Paul from the time he was 14.
