Almost every week around this time, I tell you about some great guest my friend Stu Shostak has on his Internet radio program, Stu's Show. And often throughout the week, I recommend you go listen to a great guest on the podcast of my friend Paul Harris, who is heard on radio station KTRS in St. Louis and sometimes elsewhere. Well, this week I get to combine these two recommendations because Stu's great guest on Stu's Show is Paul Harris.
Paul is a friend I made via computer years ago on CompuServe. We were on a forum there and he struck me as one of the brightest, cleverest guys on it. Then I heard his radio shows, most of which consist of him interviewing interesting folks…and doing it as well as any interviewer I've ever heard. Folks ask me how I learned how to interview folks on comic book convention panels. A very real answer is that I listened to Paul Harris. He's a hero of Stu's, too. Tomorrow (Wednesday), he and Stu will be discussing what's become of radio, what he's learned interviewing important celebrities and politicians, and the fascinating career Paul has had. He and I spent most of Sunday evening swapping anecdotes and he's really one of the finest storytellers I've ever encountered. Tune in and hear some of those swell stories and maybe you'll pick up some pointers.
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. Plus, check out Stu's new V.I.P. Listener program for a way to get more Stu into your life.
