Wanna hear a radio show discussing animation history? Better still, wanna hear one that doesn't feature me (although I may call in and be part of the discussion)? Well, two eminent cartoon scholars will be the guests this Wednesday on Stu's Show, which is heard only on Shokus Internet Radio. Each week, my pal Stu Shostak welcomes either someone prominent in entertainment history or me to his microphones and this Wednesday, he has two terrific guests.
One is Jerry Beck, who's one of the brewmasters of Cartoon Brew, maybe the best animation weblog on the 'net. Any time you see a great DVD collection of cartoons these days, the odds are good that it exists and is as good as it is because Jerry talked the appropriate folks into doing it and doing it right. He's too humble to say this so I will.
The other is Keith Scott, who's one of the top announcers and voiceover guys in Australia, along with being the world class expert on animation voice history and on the Jay Ward studio. Keith not only knows everything there is to know about Bullwinkle J. Moose, he is Bullwinkle J. Moose. After the passing of the character's original voice, Bill Scott, Keith (no relation) took over the role and now they fly him in from Down Under when they need the eminent moose to speak. It's an uncanny replica…as I'm sure you'll hear for yourself if you tune in Stu's Show.
I suggest you do this on Wednesday. An awful lot of folks who've listened to Stu on my recommendation have told me they really enjoyed it. The show airs on the Internet for two hours, beginning at 4 PM on the West Coast, which is 7 PM on the East Coast. To hear it, click over to Shokus Internet Radio, select an audio browser and then listen. The show repeats at that time for several days after but you'll enjoy it more if you listen live. Trust Mark on this.
