Subject: Still Celebrating the start of our Second Year!
Folks;
As part of Katie and my celebration of the beginning of our second year on
Radio Once More, I've posted to the blog our second live interview, this time
with Ivan Cury, radio's Bobby Benson; scores of other radio roles including
Portia Faces Life; director and producer of groundbreaking television
programs and even some popular television soap operas; Professor of
Communications for large California universities; the man who literally wrote
the book on television and commercial directing!
And we'll play some of his radio shows - including a Cavalcade of America
with Walter Hampton, and of course Bobby Benson and the B-Bar-B Riders!
To listen to this interview, just go to [removed] - while
