A weekly update/preview of my latest podcasts, and a look back at some of my previous audio work from this week in history over the past 40+ years.
Podcasting preview/update
Minutia Men. Minutia Men Celebrity Interview, and Free Kicks with Adam and Rick are currently on a holiday break. They will return with new episodes beginning next week.
This Week from the Audio Archives
*January 3, 1998—Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me debuts. Dave and I had the opportunity to interview the voice of that fine NPR program, Bill Kurtis.
*January 3, 2012—Republican Iowa Caucuses were held. Among the candidates was the first openly gay man to run for President, Fred Karger. He told Dave and I that fascinating story.
January 3—Birthday of Sir George Martin. I had the honor of interviewing the late Beatles producer back in 1996. We played the audio of that memorably embarrassing interview on this episode.
*January 6 is Anthony Scaramucci's birthday. We interviewed him twice. The first time he was still in Trump's orbit. The second time he was not. See if you can tell a difference in his attitude.
January 6, 1973—Schoolhouse Rock debuts on ABC. One of the singers from that series was Essra Mohawk. We chatted with her about five years ago and she has some great stories.
And finally...this week in 1878, a frequent topic of discussion on Free Kicks, Everton F.C. was founded. Happy birthday/anniversary to the Blues in Liverpool.
