Okay, listen up. For a couple years here, I've been hectoring you to tune in Stu's Show, a weekly two-hour chat about classic television, hosted by my buddy Stu Shostak. Many of you have written to thank me for the tip since Stu puts on a great show. He's usually able to get great guests and when he can't, he has me on. So either way, I'd like you to listen...which you can do on your computer, assuming it's hooked up to the Internet, which it must be or you wouldn't be reading this.
Well, tomorrow is Stu's one hundredth show. That's a big deal all by itself but he's celebrating with a great guest...everyone's favorite actress, the legendary June Foray! That's right. The voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Natasha Fatale, Granny (Tweety's owner), Jokey Smurf, Witch Hazel and so many others will be in Stu's studio to be interviewed and take questions from those of you who call in. It doesn't get any better than that. Animation expert Earl Kress will be co-hosting and I'll participate via phone.
It happens tomorrow (Wednesday) live on Shokus Internet Radio. To listen, go to their website at the correct hour and do what it says to do. The correct hour will depend on where you live but on the West Coast, it's from 4 PM 'til 6 PM, which works out to 7 PM 'til 9 PM on the East Coast...and you can figure out other places from that. The show will rerun all week but it's better to hear it as it happens — and of course, you can call in when it's live.
This is a rare opportunity to hear and maybe even chat with one of the animation field's true living legends. And if you've never experienced the fun of Stu's Show, it's a good time to start.
I've lost track of which Tom Lehrer videos I've put up here but I don't think this one's been a link yet. Mr. Lehrer favors us with "National Brotherhood Week" and "When You Are Old and Gray."
