That's Charles Schulz, not long after he'd begun drawing a comic strip that was somewhat successful. As you may know, a highly-controversial book was recently written on Mr. Schulz. That book will be the second topic tomorrow on the first anniversary broadcast of Stu's Show on Shokus Internet Radio.
I will be the main guest for the two-hour program which you can hear live on your computer at 4 PM Pacific (7 PM Eastern). This is not a podcast that you can download at your leisure or listen to whenever you like. It's a streaming audio program and to hear it, you have to be at a computer when it's streamed. (It reruns in the same time slot for a week after but again, you have to tune in when it's being streamed.) This may sound a bit difficult in this era of TiVos and VCRs — actually tuning in to a show when it's broadcast — but those who make the effort seem to find it quite enjoyable. And you can also phone in while we're on the air and ask questions.
As I said, the book of Charles Schulz will be the second topic, which means we'll get to it after Topic #1, which will be my views on the Writers Strike for the benefit of anyone who's not sick of reading them here. So some time around 4:15 (Pacific), we'll begin discussing the book, and our host Stuart Shostak has lined up perhaps the two most-qualified people on the planet to join us for this discussion. Monte Schulz, son of Charles, will be participating and so will Lee Mendelson, who co-produced all the Peanuts animated specials and series. So you have the man's son and one of his closest business associates and long-time friends. Can't do much better than that.
Following that, if there's time, we'll be chatting about the new, upcoming Garfield cartoon show I'm writing and also about my past association with the character. And you can call in and ask me to talk about something more interesting than that.
Okay, now let me tell you how to listen to Shokus Internet Radio. Go to that website. Select an audio browser. Click and listen. And you can do that at any hour of the day because there are always interesting shows to be heard. Go there right now and try it out if you don't believe me. It's free. It's easier than you'd think. And it's addictive.
That's Stu's Show, tomorrow (Wednesday) from 4 PM to 6 PM on this coast, 7 PM to 9 PM on the East Coast, and if you're somewhere else, you can probably figure it out from that.
