For years here, I've plugged Stu's Show, which was an audio-only podcast from my pal Stu Shostak but you can now take your pick: Audio podcast or video podcast. Stu's last show of the season (meaning he takes a few weeks off, then returns) is today. Usually, he does his show on Wednesdays but for reasons he'll explain on the program I'm sure, this week's is a rare Tuesday Stu's Show.
His guest is Stan Taffel, who is the guy behind Cinecon, a convention for lovers of old and often obscure movies that will be held August 29 thru September 2 in the heart of Hollywood. In addition to talking about that big event, they'll be showing some of the kind of rare, you-never-see-these-anywhere-else film clips that you do see at Cinecon. The show is done LIVE! at 4 PM Pacific Time (7 PM Eastern) and to find out how to watch it or at least listen to it, go to this page here. There, you will also hear about Stu's new channel…
Stu has a new TV channel that runs old episodes of Stu's Show pretty continuously so you can tune in anytime and — who knows? — you might even catch one with me on it. You can watch it at this link or you can click below and see whatever's on it at this moment…
A tip: If you put your cursor over the lower left corner of the screen, you can see a timer which will tell you how long you've been watching the episode currently rerunning and how much longer this episode has to run before the next one starts. There are currently seven episodes on in rotation and they're also viewable on the Stu's Show app on Roku. Enjoy.
Also! A few weeks ago here, I did a post here linking you to a podcast I appeared on. I just found out that something hiccuped and the post disappeared so here it is again…
My pal Scott Edelman and I recently had a three-hour lunch at Canter's Delicatessen…at a table with a view of the table where in February of 1970, Jack Kirby told Steve Sherman and me that he was leaving Marvel for DC and wanted us to be his assistants. Scott and I talked about that and other topics, mostly but not exclusively about comic books, while I ate a brisket sandwich and he had pastrami.
If that sounds like something you'd like to have eavesdropped on…well, you still can. Scott recorded the whole conversation for what turned out to be the hundredth episode of his podcast, Eating the Fantastic. It's Scott sitting down for a meal and a chat with someone in the world of comics or science-fiction or fantasy or other allied arts.
You can find out more about Scott's show and this episode here or you can just listen to it below. CAUTION: It's two hours and forty-three minutes but it's kinda interesting. Scott, who's worked a lot in comics, mostly at Marvel, is a good and well-prepped interrogator and we got deep into a lot of topics, as you can hear for yourself…
