Jon kicks off the Christmas season a little early this year with the first of more than a month of holiday “PCK” episodes. From the Center for Puppetry Arts’ production of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” two of the main puppeteers come into the studio: Julie Scarborough and Dolph Amick. Now in its second year, the “Rudolph” show is based on the classic Rankin/Bass Christmas TV special of the same name. Jon also revisits an interview with his friend Karl Slover, one of the Munchkin actors from the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz.” Slover passed away recently, so Jon honors Karl’s colorful life with an encore airing of the interview. Music from “The Wizard of Oz” and the classic “Rudolph” TV special make up this week’s soundtrack.

This week Jon geeks out over one of the greatest rock acts of all time: Led Zeppelin. Jason Bonham, son of Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, is bringing his Led Zeppelin Experience show to Center Stage in Atlanta Sunday, November 13. The show features the music of Led Zeppelin performed by Bonham and his band, film clips, and Bonham’s memories of his father. Bonham, an accomplished drummer himself, chats with “The PCK Show” about carrying the Zep torch. And Jon treats listeners to some fun Led Zeppelin pop culture-related snippets throughout the show, and some fantastic Zeppelin tunes.

It’s an all-Beatles episode with a mess of magical mystery moments pertaining to the Fab Four. Jon talks with Michael Wegner, a member of Beatles tribute band Abbey Road Live. They’ll be playing Nov. 5 in Decatur, Ga. at the Decatur High School Performing Arts Center. Wegner talks about the challenges of approaching Beatles music. Of course, Jon will be playing several Beatles songs and rare snippets from the band. And local voice-over artist and musician Doug Williams premieres his original composition “It Takes Me Back,” his ode to the Beatles.

On the Halloween edition of the program, Jon skips the tricks, but dishes lots of treats. The Muppets are coming to Atlanta to promote their new movie “The Muppets,” which opens in theaters Nov. 23. They’re making a special appearance at WWE’s “Raw,” which is broadcasting live Halloween night at Philips Arena. Jon talks to second-generation wrestler Cody Rhodes about the event. And since it’s our special Halloween show, we’ll be talking with author Rick Goldschmidt, who wrote the new book “Mad Monster Party,” which is all about the 1967 Rankin/Bass stop-motion or animagic movie featuring the most famous monsters of all time. Music comes from Billy Taylor, the Muppets and “Mad Monster Party.”

Jon is a huge fan of legendary comedian Andy Kaufman, who single-handedly changed the definition of funny in the ’70s and early ’80s. This week Jon tracks down the late performer’s co-writer, co-conspirator and close friend, Bob Zmuda. Zmuda is a writer, comedian, producer and director in his own right. He dishes some behind-the-scenes Kaufman tales on this week’s show. Does Zmuda think Kaufman faked his death? Listen and find out. And to celebrate the release of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” on DVD and Blu-ray we hear from Johnny Depp and Keith Richards. The playlist features Andy Kaufman, Tony Clifton and the Stones.

Coming into the studio this week is Mike Snowden, the owner of Snowden Guitars. Snowden handcrafts guitars, but these aren’t just any guitars. These are made from cigar boxes. We’re also gonna be hearing from actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She stars in “The Thing,” the prequel to John Carpenter’s groundbreaking 1982 horror film of the same name. Jon dishes some pop culture news and spins tunes by Mike Snowden, Joe Tex and Men At Work.
