Two great guests visit Stu's Show today. Darrell Van Citters is a well-respected director of animation and also a fine historian of animation by others. He did that great book on the making of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol and he has a new book out called The Art of Jay Ward Productions which features…well, it probably features the art of Jay Ward Productions. The other guest is Greg Ehrbar, an expert of many things but especially records for kids and All Things Disney. Greg co-authored Mouse Tracks, an all-encompassing book on the history of Walt Disney's own record label. He will talk about that and also Inside the Whimsy Works, the autobiography (though Greg had a hand in it) of Jimmy Johnson, who ran that amazing record label and worked with Roy Disney. Stu could fill the time with either gent so it oughta be jam-packed with interesting conversation.
Stu's Show can be heard live (almost) every Wednesday at the Stu's Show website and you can listen for free there. Webcasts start at 4 PM Pacific Time, 7 PM Eastern and other times in other climes. They run a minimum of two hours and sometimes go to three or beyond. Shortly after a show ends, it's available for downloading from the Archives on that site. Downloads are a paltry 99 cents each and you can get four for the price of three. The ones where I guest should be cheaper but they aren't.
