I am always recommending Stu's Show to you folks here. It's a weekly Internet radio program hosted by my chum Stu Shostak and on it each week, he spends two hours (sometimes, more) chatting with folks of varying importance in the world of television. Sometimes, he's working the high end with Ed Asner and Rose Marie and June Foray and other names you've heard of. Sometimes, he has me on. No matter who it is, it manages to be very interesting and a lot of fun, and I enjoy listening to his podcasts while I sit here and work.
As I tell you ad nauseam, you can hear Stu's Show two ways. You can listen live on Wednesdays for free…and this coming Wednesday, his guest will be Peter Ford, son of actor Glenn Ford. Or you can download any show (he's done 254 of them) for a measly 99 cents and listen to it over and over at your leisure. I think this is a great deal but it's gotten even better. From now through the end of 2011, you can pay for three shows and get a fourth for free! Go to the archives at at the Stu's Show website, put four shows in your shopping cart and the software will charge you for three. Or put in eight and get charged for six. Or put in…well, you can probably do the math on this one.
If I may, I'd like to recommend a couple. Stu's interview with Shelley Berman in 2008 (Program #90) was outstanding and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in comedy (especially stand-up or improv) or just the life of a performer. His chat with Stan and Hunter Freberg in 2010 (Program #169) was great despite the presence of an annoying co-host. His conversation with Lana Wood in 2010 (Program #158) was not only interesting but is now timely as Lana discussed her suspicions about the death of her sister, Natalie Wood. Go browse there and you'll find chats with Pat Harrington and Joe Alaskey and Kaye Ballard and Monty Hall and hundreds of others…even the star of today's video link here, Pamelyn Ferdin. This is a great time to buy shows, especially in multiples of four. Go for it.
