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.
November 3, 1995—Toronto Raptors first game ever.
=Chuck Swirsky was their play-by-play man on TV. He told us all about that in this episode of Minutia Men Celebrity Interview.
November 3—Michael Dukakis birthday
=The day Dukakis lost to George H.W. Bush was a dark day for comedian Dave Sinker. He just happened to do the best Dukakis impersonation in the country.
November 3--The Cubs Win the World Series
=Because it happened after midnight in Cleveland, this is the actual correct anniversary (not November 2). My reaction to that day. Author (and Cub fan) Scott Turow's reaction to that day.
November 3--Catherine Johns birthday
=The former talk show host/newscaster was on our show a few years ago. Such a nice lady.
November 4, 2014--Father Knows Nothing
=In the days leading up to the release of the book, we released these bonus audio tracks
November 4—Take Your Parents to Work Day
=In 2002, John Landecker's dad had just passed away, so John brought his ashes to work on Take Your Parents to Work Day. It was a memorably hilarious moment.
November 5—Art Garfunkel’s birthday.
=Tommy Chong told us a great Garfunkel story in this interview.
November 5, 1996—Clinton beats Dole in election
=If it happened in the 90s, I wrote a parody song about it. Our Landecker and the Legends song that election was called "Big Macarena." Will we play it on this week's show?
November 6, 2001—Mickey’s Magical Christmas released
=Johnny Kaempfer (age 3) memorably reviewed the film on the air. Will we play it on this week's show?
November 8, 2006—First Chick Fil A opens in San Diego.
=Just another excuse to highlight our San Diego Chicken interview.
November 9, 1989--Berlin Wall falls
