The above smarter-than-average bruin is there to catch the eye of anyone who loves classic TV cartoons and folks like Daws Butler, the brilliant gent who supplied Yogi's voice. If you are one such person, have I got a show for you. It's another fine program on Shokus Internet Radio, the station I plug often here in weblog items and in my right-hand margin.
Joe Bevilacqua (lazy folks call him "Joe Bev") is an animation voice actor, animation historian, producer, writer and all-around cartoon cool guy. Today, he kicks off his new program, Cartoon Carnival, which can be heard every day on that channel at 6 PM Eastern, which is of course 3 PM Pacific. Don't worry if you miss today's installment as each show repeats throughout the week in that slot. Do worry if you miss it altogether, though there'll be a new episode next week and a new one the week after and so on.
On each, Joe will be dipping into his vast archives of cartoon-oriented goodies — rare soundtracks, interviews he's done, etc. — and there'll also be new interviews and treasures. Joe studied with The Master (i.e., Daws) and has rare tapes of Mr. Butler and his contemporaries. (I was going to say "…his peers" but Daws didn't have a lot of peers.) If you're interested in this kind of thing, I can't imagine you won't have a great time.
You can have that great time by browsing over to Shokus Internet Radio at the proper hour and clicking where you're supposed to click. Sounds like sixty minutes of great fun to me.
