This afternoon, the topic is "Close Encounters with Groucho" — stories about being around the comedian supreme. My pal Steve Stoliar, who was there for Groucho's last few years working in his home, will have the most anecdotes and the best…but some of us have our treasured tales. And by "us," I include me. Host Stu Shostak will tell of his run-in with Groucho. Comedy writer Bob Illes will tell his. And I'll be on (by phone) at some point to tell mine. Listen in to enjoy and envy our Marxian name-drops at 4 PM Pacific Time, aka 7 PM Eastern.
It's live and if you listen then at the Stu's Show website, it's free. If you can't listen then, all is not lost. Beginning shortly after, you'll be able to download the 2+ hours (betcha it runs close to three) from that site. It'll only cost you 99 cents but if you have a brain in that thick skull of yours, you'll select some other webcasts from the voluminous Stu's Show Archives and download four episodes for three bucks. The one last week with comedy writer-sportscaster Ken Levine was especially good. If you love Groucho, you'll want to listen. And if you don't love Groucho…what the hell's the matter with you? How could you not love Groucho?
